Please assume all ADG boxes are MIA unless someone you know has confirmed their active status recently. We have been out of the game for quite a while and have not been maintaining our boxes.
Harvest Moon Letterbox
Point Lookout State Park
Scotland, Maryland in St. Mary's County
21 September 2002
Point Lookout is a stunning park where you can fish, swim, or just enjoy the scenery. It is located on a small peninsula where the St. Mary's River, the Potomac River, and the Chesapeake Bay all converge. This area was a hotbed during the Civil War and was the site of a prison camp as well as Fort Lincoln. The lighthouse at the end of the point and the area surrounding the fort are supposed to be heavily haunted. If you decide to go around Halloween, be sure to stay for the Haunted Tour. Depending on the time and the day, you may have to pay $3.00 to get into this lovely area. This is a very short and easy hike on a carpet of pine-needles. If you are quiet, you may stumble upon some deer. We saw quite a few fauns in the area during our visit.
From the main park road, after passing the toll booth, look for the "30 minute parking for Fort Lincoln" sign and park in the pull-off area directly after the sign. Take the well marked trail straight towards the Potomac and jump in. Once you are thoroughly soaked, head into the fort. At the left of the storage depot, climb the wooden stairs over the wall. Take the grassy trail straight ahead a very short distance until you spy a clearing on your right. The grassy paths form a T intersection here. Turn right to go into the clearing and spot the large long leaf pine that is dead ahead of you. Your prize is behind this tree under pine cones and rocks. Make sure you drive down to the very end of the park to enjoy the view of the Potomac and the Bay.
