Rain/Sleet/or Snow Ashford CT. Rating Moderate to Difficult 3/4 of a Mile Planted By The NeeDeeps 5-18-03 (Difficult due to one steep hill when you first enter the trail.If you can climb up this hill the rest of the trail is a piece of cake.) Directions:From the intersection of RT 44 & 89 take RT.89 North.Travel down until you come to a stop sign,turn right onto Boston Hollow road.This road will turn to dirt,after traveling 1.6 miles pull in and park in the parking area on the left big enough for about 4 or 5 cars.This will be the same parking area as The Boston Hollow and The Once Was Mine Letterboxes,but not the same trail,for the Rain/Sleet or Snow Letterbox you need to cross the road from the parking area and enter the blue blaze trail.Once you enter the trail you will come to one steep hill get up that and the rest of the hike is easy.Once at the top of the hill the trail will bend to the right,and you will go through some mountain laurel and up a smaller hill before the trail levels off.Twisting and turning through more mountain laurel you will soon go over some flat rocks.After awhile you will go down a small hill and cross a small ravine,and soon the trail will bend right and you will come to a open area where pine trees and white birch trees grow side by side.Keep going and there will be a small stream that you have to cross,then more twisting and turning through some more mountain laurel,you'll pass by a big oak tree on the left side of the trail,alittle further you will walk over more flat rocks.Keep going and you will see some rock out croppings on your right,as soon as you get near the end of the rock out croppings,there will be a evergreen tree with a blue dot on it(STOP AT THIS TREE) up ahead on the trail there will be another evergreen tree with two blue dots on it.Walk directly between these two trees on the trail and take a reading of 300 degrees,about 26 steps up a little hill there will be a pine tree that has been broke in half,behind it under a rotted piece of wood and a flat rock is the letterbox.Return the way you came.This letterbox is dedicated to all the people who love letterboxing so much that they face all of what Mother Nature throws at them to deliver there stamp and pick up awaiting stamps just like the personel of the US.mail service,we go through the Rain/Sleet or Snow.Lenny/Kathy The NeeDeeps.
