We placed this letterbox while hiking the M and M trail.We are hiking segments of the M and M all year and will plant additional boxes in this series.We will complete the 114 miles and end at MT.Monadnock in the fall.

The box is located at just before the end of segement 3 of the M and M trail. Find the Bush notch parking lot. Head south from Bush Notch parking (located near East Mountain..) go under the Mass pike bridge. follow the white rectangles for trail markers along the pike (on your left) and then enter behind a road advertisment sign. Continue to follow the white marks. You will eventually reach an ATV cart road which crosses the trail. Look on the ground on your right. You will see fallen logs(possibly even a checkered tie on a branch on your right? The gecko is hiding in one of the logs. Hide him well, he is afraid of the rushing cars on the Mass Pike.You can reach the gecko by hiking segment 3 of the M nad M. It starts on US20 by the Westfield River, goes through a sportsman club and heads on to a quarry. The segment is 3.9 miles. The gecko is hidden in the last half mile of the segment. Of course the logs will be on your left after crssing the ATV road. If you hit the Mass Pike bridge you have gone to far. Whichever way you take, good luck. Make sure you post your findings. We are tracking the boxes and would love to know if they are found.
