From Rt. 290 take exit 23B onto Rt. 140 North towards Boylston

Drive 1.2 miles to Sewall St. (south) on your left. Turn left onto Sewall St. and go 0.6 miles to YMCA's Camp Harrginton and turn right onto the dirt road. Park in the bus parking lot (on the right side of the road) or on the left side of the YMCA camp office (first building on the left.

From the parking area, turn right to cross over a stone bridge over a steam bed.

At the two large tree trunks turn left. Notice the carpet of pine needles on the ground.

You will pass a sign on a tree to your left called "Junkyard." Then you will pass a tent platform on the left, plastic play houses, and picnic tables.

You will notice a chain-linked fence with an opening.

Enter and turn right to follow the path around the pond. The pond has bullfrogs and occationally river otters, beavers, and a threatened species, the woodland turtle.

When you have gone approximately 3/4 the way around the pond, you will notice a tremendous white pine tree on your right, next to the fence.

The letterbox is hidden on the backside and at the base of the tree.

Please replace the letterbox carefully and make sure it is covered. We do not want it's secret to be revealed accidentally because this is a summer camp and kids are curious.
