Moosalamoo

This past weekend I got a little letterboxing fever and planted 11 boxes and one Hitchhiker in about 24 hours. The area around Lake Dunmore is a place I have loved to see for thirty years and now felt some of it needed to be shared. The following letterboxes all were placed on August 18 and August 19, 2006:

Duck in the Headlights
Falls of Lana
Silver Lake (3)
Moosalamoo
Spirit in Nature
Robert Frost One
Robert Frost Two
Le Plessis Bourre’
Mr Frimble
Pirate Pete
Makishi Dancer
And the “Spiritual Center” hitch hiker

Take a look at a map for all of them, if you can, before you head out. Most will be close to Route 73, Forest Road 32, Route 125 or Route 7. Some are quick, some quicker but snow will affect the roads.

Moosalamoo is actually a mountain close by. My Rattlesnake Point Box is on it. You are to go in the back way to get this. The search is actually a drive by, the drive though takes a few minutes. Take Forest Road 32 out of Ripton, or Goshen. You are looking for the Moosalamoo Camp ground (west side), which is above the Goshen Dam/Sugar Hill Reservoir. The Camp ground is on road 24. Just before the camp ground is a sign for road 24b and Voter Brook Overlook. Take the left and follow road for a mile. Go to end and park.

In front of you, or actually the handicap parking sign, is a little trail into the woods (south side of lot). Take 5 to 8 steps through plants and trees. A large rock should be in front of you. On its left side is a much smaller white rock, look for the Moosalamoo Letterbox underneath. Please rehide well. Oh yeah- overlook is a really short walk, take a look!

A lot of the credit for the good condition of the trails and other positive things is the Moosalamoo Association. The map of this whole region is produced by these guys. If you are a local, or not, think about becoming a member.
