• From the town common, go down Lincoln Street for about one mile, halfway between downtown Franklin and the Medway line.
• Look for a neighborhood with a main street named Bridle Path. Turn into neighborhood down Bridle Path, and drive two blocks, past Steeplechase then past Phaeton Lane on left.
• Just past the white fence in front of a pond on conservation land you can park.
• Look for 4” high/4” square cement post right off the sidewalk (directly across road from fire hydrant). At the cement post, turn left and walk down a hill to get on the pine needle path.
• Follow the well-marked path, walking up a hill and around a bend, keeping the water to your left.
• After you round the bend, start looking for a large conifer tree with 2’ feet bark missing from its trunk, about 5 feet off the path to the left.
• Behind the tree about 10’ in the distance, you should see remnants of an old stone wall.
• Look between this tree and the one to its left and spot a large flat rock in the wall.
• Walk to the rock wall and climb carefully over (or go around it to the other side of that flat stone).
• Underneath this flat rock you will see many normal stones, plus a white quartz rock.
• Dig directly below and in front of the white rock, under the leaves and old pine needles and you’ll find Virginia’s Peeper Patch Letterbox.
