For several of these letter boxes I would strongly suggest printing and planning your hike with a map before you head out. Know and respect your limits. Do some research before you go: Know how long and difficult of a hike the letterbox requires.. Know the weather forecast. Learn the local trail conditions, and if you ever find yourself on a dangerously rocky part of a trail that's wet and slippery, use common sense and turn around. No letterbox is worth the danger of getting injured
TO LETTERBOX #1, Bells can be heard close by the ONLY ONE remaining. Go to the middle of the two doors and turn east looking for the crescent moon. Inside the crescent moon you will find the stamp.
TO LETTERBOX #2, Go to the place where our veterans are honored for the sacrifices they made to preserve our freedoms. Enter on the path where the USS Coral Sea CV45 bench is on your left side. Walk straight, when you reach the Y in the path turn right. Look for the history of New Fairfield sign and take a moment to read.. While facing the side that says 1979 on the bottom turn east and take 10 steps. Look up for the stamp.
TO LETTERBOX #3, Pass Miss Twiggley’s tree and park at the Sweetcake Preserve, this area of town used to be called the Apple Tree section. Hike beyond the view and look for the words etched in stone . West of the words etched in stone follow the rock wall until you see the quartz, look beneath it.
TO LETTERBOX #4 Find the PINE and park at the top of the HILL. Hike the path about 300 feet, where the road forks stay to the left. Continue on the path and as the trail begins to head downhill begin to look on the right side of the trail. Keep an eye out for a boulder (5-6 feet in height no more than 3 feet off the trail) that resembles a face with mouth (crack) all the way down to the ground. You might have to walk past the boulder and look back for the face to appear. On the side of the face furthest from the trail look at the base of the rock for the stamp. * If you reach the yellow trail on your right you have gone way to far*

Know and respect your limits. Do some research before you go: Know how long and difficult of a hike the letterbox requires. Know the weather forecast. Learn from rangers the local trail conditions. And if you ever find yourself on a dangerously rocky part of a trail that's wet and slippery, use common sense and turn around. No letterbox is worth the danger of getting injured!
If you are lucky enough to see wildlife, do not approach or disturb it. Do not feed the animals—even if it is small, cute, and apparently harmless. Animals that lose their fear of humans can and will cause problems with future hikers and letterboxes.
More common risks include venomous creatures such as snakes and spiders, biting insects such as mosquitoes and ticks that spread diseases such as the West Nile virus and Lyme disease, poison oak, poison ivy, poison sumac, and stinging nettle. This, of course, is not a complete list of things that can go wrong in the outdoors. There's also lightning, hypothermia, avalanches, flash floods, falling trees, and so on. And even if it were possible to list all the possible things to go wrong, the human race is very inventive in thinking up new ways to hurt themselves.
Trailhead break-ins are a possibility, so do not leave valuables in your car—or at the very least, keep them hidden from view. You are solely responsible for your vehicle and its contents.
It is the responsibility of the letterbox searcher to become thoroughly familiar with the conditions in the area to be searched, to adequately prepare for those conditions, and to conduct oneself safely and responsibly with respect to those conditions and with respect to his or her personal abilities and limitations.The individual letterbox sponsors assume no liability for events which may occur related directly or indirectly to one's searching for a letterbox. You are responsible for the safety of yourself and your companions.
Do not let children hunt for letterboxes unsupervised.
