Great men live life to the fullest and then die leaving a powerful legacy. This letterbox is planted to honor and remember our father, Milton Benjamin Gray. This letterbox in planted near Pulpit Rock, the site where as youngsters, we had heard that John Eliot preached to the Algonquin people.

2. Walk up the road until you see the large Shufro Family plot on your right and the second battered sign for Pulpit Rock on your left.
3. After finding the Pulpit Rock sign, walk a little bit back down the road so that you can take the smaller road on your right which curves up a gentle hill.
4. Walk along this curving road.
5. Don't be afraid of the Woolf on Path F.
6. Go to Path E.
7. Grab a stone and walk to the headstone marked Gray.
8. Please place a stone on the marker.
9. Turn around, follow path back to road.
10. Take a left and follow this curvy road back down to the main road.
11. Turn right on the main road (as if you are walking back to entrance gate).
12. On your right you should now have a full view of Pulpit Rock!
13. Walk thru the trees and approach Pulpit Rock.
14. Make a path towards the right side of the Pulpit Rock.
15. When you reach the back side of Pulpit Rock, go past 2 trees and get ready to climb up to the top of Pulpit Rock.
16. Once on top, face the graves in front of you (think of the graves as 12:00 on a clock.
17. Turn to face 3:00.
18. Straight ahead you should see a stately stand of 4 birch trees.
19. After you have carefully climbed down Pulpit Rock, walk towards the stand of 4 birch trees.
20. Once at the birch trees: face away from the road keeping your back up against the 2 largest birch trees.
21. Straddle the fallen tree limb in front of you.
22. Notice a large fallen tree trunk that is straight ahead and slightly towards the left on a diagonal.
23. Walk approximately 20-25 paces till you reach the larger end of the fallen tree.
25. Marked by small branches of wood in the form of an X, the "Hold It!" letterbox should be safely tucked under leaves and sticks in the hollow of the fallen tree trunk.
