Green Pig Letterbox

Easy- will need a compass

REVISED AND RELOCATED NEARBY- 5/26/20

This letterbox is in Callahan State Park in Marlborough. It is about an hour round trip. Bring bug spray as it can be buggy and muddy. The parking lot is located on Broadmeadow Road just past the Gulbankian Mobile Home Village. (road turns into a dirt road). Take the 1st left into the parking lot.
From parking lot head SE to a trail going uphill. It has many roots. Stay left at a fork, following the blue blaze. Within 10 minutes there is a large flat rock with moss on it across the trail. (when you find it
there will be a “V” tree on the right.) Before reaching this rock you will have passed 2 large split rocks.
Trail flattens and heads slightly downhill then slightly uphill again, still rocky and roots. At a 4 way
intersection go south. Continue straight downhill to a “T”. At “T” go left, trail narrows following stone wall on right.
You will come to a red and white “Private Property” sign on right. At this sign go left uphill. It’s OK to be here but stay on trail. Raytheon plant will be further along so stay away from it.
At next intersection go left, not up a small hill. You will soon see a yellow blaze.
At next intersection on immediate right will be a 3 trunk tree with one trunk severed and a hole bored through it. Go north.
After about 8 minutes on right you will see a severed tree about 8 feet high with the rest of the tree lying on the right. ( don’t take a trail that goes right. You will also have passed a blue blaze and a tree trunk in the middle of trail.) At this severed tree look ahead for a double trunk oak on the right of trail.
Stop at this tree. Count 30 paces (1 pace = 1 step) to a double trunk oak tree on left. Behind this tree is a medium size rock. Green Pig is at this rock under a smaller rock.
Please close tightly and hide well. Return to trail- go left- it will take you back to your car.
Would love to hear from you when you find this!
ENJOY!

Story behind Green Pig:

While attending a “We Can Weekend” sponsored by the American Cancer Society, we were told this story: A man went to see his dying brother in the hospital. When it was time to leave he hesitated, not ever having expressed his emotions verbally to his brother. The brother, sensing his dilemma, said to him “Look, if you can’t say I love you, just say “green pig” and I’ll know what you mean. For the next several visits the brother would say “green pig” when leaving, until one day he just said “Oh, what the heck, I love you.”
This letterbox is in memory of my sister who died of pancreatic cancer on 2/08/05.

GREEN PIG, SIS!
