This letterbox is a minibox, so bring stamp pad and pen.
This letterbox is located on a paved bike path in the woods. Round trip on bike is about 7 miles and takes me about 45 minutes. You can walk in on a short-cut. That will take you about 15 minutes round trip. Bike directions first.
Located in Myles Standish State Forest (MSSF) in Plymouth. When you enter the forest, follow signs to Headquarters. Get a map at Headquarters, located on Cranberry Road in CARVER. Then pull Right out of parking lot next to HQs, bear Right at fork in front of HQs. From here, follow signs to Fearings Pond. It will take you about 10 minutes to get to Fearings Camping Area I on your left**, pass by it. You will go by a picnic area on your left, pass by it. You will come to Fearings Camping Area II on your left. If it is open, pull in and park at parking lot at end of road past bathhouse. If it is closed, park by gate, but do not block it.
Get on your bike and ride out of Fearings II. Directly across the street is Circuit Drive, which is gated so cars cannot go through it. Pass thru gate #62. Follow Circuit Dr. to where bike path crosses road. Go left thru gate #60. When you get to a 4-way intersection, go right. Go thru gate #24, cross road, go thru gate #23. Go Left at the T. Ride over the unpaved gasline. Take next Left. It is a sharp left, going right up a hill. Go thru gate #21, cross road, go thru gate #22. At next intersection go Right. Go thru gate #41, cross road, thru gate #42. Go over unpaved gas lines again. At the T, go Right. Go thru gate #111 into parking lot. Take Right to the end of the parking lot, cross road, go thru gate #12. At T, go Left. Thru gate #48, cross road, ***thru gate #49. Now pay attention! After you go thru #49, you will go down a small dip and then back up. You will see a pond/swamp thru the woods on your right. There will be a big white pine on the right side of the bike path with black spray paint on it. Get off your bike and stand with back to the white pine. Across the bike path will be a stand of about 5-6 pines with a stump in the middle. Walk to stump thru woods and the Bike It! Letterbox is in the stump. Stamp in, re-hide, and then get back on bike and continue on. Go thru gate #52, cross road, go thru gate #53. You will come to gate #61. This is where you started! See gate #60 in front of you? So take a left to exit Circuit Drive and get back to your car!
If walking: Follow direction to ** above. Across from Fearrings Camping Area I is a road on the right heading towards Camp Cachalot. Take that road. You will immediately come to a bike path crossing the road. Park here, do not block road. Follow directions from *** above. Once you've stamped in and re-hid the Letterbox, turn around and get back in your car!
