Location: Burlingame State Campground. Klondike Rd off of Rt. 1 in Charlestown.

This box was originally planted as one of three Burlingame Nature Boxes. (Also located at Burlingame State Campground) The March 2010 flood displaced the box and campsites have been added, which has forced me to replace this box. Because it is a new stamp in a new spot, I decided to replant and repost it as its own box.

This is a GREAT box for campers but the park is closed to non-campers April through October. I myself prefer going in the late fall because it is less buggy, so please try then!

**To find this box you must know what animal you are looking for. Use the clues to unmask this creature. You will need its name to find the hiding spot!
**Don't forget a camp map, which is located at the Check-in Station or on ReserveAmerica.com!

-This animal only lives a short time because it does not have a mouth.
-Its young eat hickory leaves, so it will lay its eggs on these types of trees.
-It comes out at night and may be seen around your campfire.
-Its name means MOON in some languages.


Look for the TWO CABINS that stand for this box's name (the animal's initials). Go to this beautiful sandy-beach area. Please respect this area that boarders the Audobon Society Bird Preserve. I try to pick up any trash I see left around, which is often.

After the second CABIN and before a third, you will see a path heading away from the pond. Take this path until you come to another path at a fallen tree. Head LEFT to a sign that says "State Property Ends." Take approx. 35 paces to 2 stones on your right just off the path. Two large trees sit just over the stone wall, but in front of them lies our blue-green friend, tucked into the rocks.

Happy finding! P.S. you are very lucky if you do see this animal in real life, they are so beautiful!
