This box has my favorite hand carved stamp!
The Cry-Baby Letterbox is located at the Waseeka Wildlife Santuary which is part of Mass Audubon Society. The letterbox is located on a 1.5 mile loop that goes through the woods and around a pond.
12/27/2006 - A letterboxer just notified me that she found the letterbox, but the trails were pretty flooded. If you don't want to get your feet wet, I suggest turning around after you find the letterbox instead of doing the loop.
DIRECTIONS:
Take Route 495 to Exit 21A. Follow to Hopkinton Center. You will merge with Route 135. Stay on 135 until the first right after Weston Nurseries. This right is Clinton Street. The sactuary is about 2 miles down on the left. Small dirt parking lot that is easy to miss - there is also a green gate and brown wooden sign.
CLUES:
Follow the path from the parking lot (goes right by the brown wooden sign). This wide path will bring you to the pond after about 10-15 minutes. The pond will be on your left. The trail will circle around it. You will come to a small foot bridge/boardwalk, about 3 feet long, over a small creek. After the bridge you will see a stone bench, and after the stone bench you will pass through a stone wall.
After passing through the wall, turn right and walk into the woods (away from pond) alongside the wall. When you come to a large oak tree on the other side of the wall growing almost on the stone wall (just past a dead tree trunk about 10 feet tall on this side of the wall), cross the wall. About three steps from the oak tree (side facing away from the water) is about where the letterbox is hidden in the stone wall.
Return to the path after stamping in and continue the way you were going. Keep going and you will cross a larger boardwalk/bridge. The trail will lead you away from the pond into the forest with a lot of stone walls. After a while you will come to a T. Go right and you will be back in the parking lot in few minutes!
