Quiet Corner

Hello all, and especially Jay (Drew).

I just got back from Bigelow Hollow State Park, where I successfully
completed the 5 letterbox series known as "The Quiet Corner".

Unfortunately, only 4 of the original 5 still exist. Letterbox #3, the
Western Point, is definitely missing. This beautiful point, the Drew clan's
all-time favorite letterbox location, apparently is lots of other people's
favorite location. There were campers on the point when I arrived ["Hello
the camp"], there were lots of discarded beer cans throughout the site too.
The campers and I spent several minutes searching the entire point to no
avail. The campers were intrigued after I explained the fundamentals of
letterboxing to them. I suspect that those previous beer guzzlin' visitors
may have destroyed the letterbox.

The remaining 4, Bigelow Pond, Pond Point, Breakneck Pond and Nipmuck Trail
are all safe and sound.

All in all a great day in a great place.

Hi,
Today we finished all 5 of the Bigilow Hollow letterboxes. #3 box was
there. Doing all of them is a challenge but even my 5 year old did it.
Even though there was alot of grumbling from him the last Mile. We saw
two pairs of Canadain geese and a snake.

The Willington gang.
