Cherry Blossoms
Washington, D.C.

(Vandalized in summer of '00, replaced/relocatd Oct '00. Then it again disappeared in summer of '01, only to be replaced yet again in Oct '01).

About 5 level miles round trip from the Jefferson Memorial. No stone walls were injured in the production of this letterbox.

Walk, run, ride, roll, or drive past the Jefferson Memorial to the southern tip of Hains Point, following the signs for East Potomac Park. This is a wonderful open area with vast views of the river and is marvelously refreshing to jangled nerves from the hustle and bustle of Washington DC.

Just north of a most surprising statue is a playground. The Cherry Blossom Letterbox lives beyond, in the golf course fence-line north of the mound and the restroom. At the fence on a service road, exactly lined up with the eastern face of the restroom, take about 65 steps east, to stop just past even with the end of the mound. Facing the golf course, the letterbox is between the fence and a tree under a flat rock brought for the purpose from a New England stone wall. Good luck!
