The Scooby-Doo Gang has been separated while venturing in Shutesbury. I hope that you will be able to find them all and bring them together again in your Letterboxing Book. Good luck!


To find Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Daphne continue on past the gate. You’ll first discover Velma. She’ll be snooping around as she usually does. This particular mystery for her is trying to discover the underground cable that crosses the road. Her trails took her to the right of the path where she was facing the beaver pond, which you will see as well. Velma took about 6 steps down though and turned to her right to look at some of the rocks that were laying there.
You will then come upon a clearing on your right. You will see a cedar tree in the middle of the clearing. Walk up to the cedar tree. Over to your left you will see a very large pine tree and a very large sickly Maple tree. Go to the Maple tree. Under the lowest branch you may find a hole in the tree that Fred discovered. Who knows what’s waiting in there for you. (Be sure to cover the hole well when you are done discovering!)

Go back to the road, and continue on to your right. You will cross over a bridge. Continue on this road until you see a blue gate to your left. Stay on the same road you’re on, but count about 35 paces past this gate and you will reach a large Hemlock on your left. There Daphne was last seen snooping for clues around the 3 large boulders.

Continue on the road and pass the bend in the river, which you will see on your right. You will reach a clearing on your left and a small clearing on your right. If you venture into the clearing to your left you will see a fallen tree top to your right. Daphne, Velma and Fred seemed to think they saw Shaggy here investigating the arch in the tree top.

Now that you’ve found Daphne, Fred, Velma and Shaggy, the question is – “Scooby-Doo where are you?” Where would you find a dog after a long walk?

Continue on down the road. You will cross over another bridge. Just on the other side of this bridge on your right you will find a big rock where they found wet paw prints from Scooby. They figured Scooby must have walked here after taking a drink from the stream.

Congratulations you’ve found the whole gang!

No more letterboxes after this point, but if you want to continue on the road it is a beautiful walk. It will eventually bring you to the backside of Lake Wyola in Shutesbury.
