Ct. Tiger Cub Letterbox , New in Mansfield

From: Carolyn Stearns (cstearns07@hotmail.com) | Date: 2003-03-11 13:53:54 UTC-05:00
Hi all ,below is a new letterbox called Tiger Cub. Tonight I meet with the Tiger Cub Pack that routinly holds its meetings at mansfield middle school to teach all the boys about letterboxing. This important event had to be honored with a box they could seek as well as revisit and see who came to call on them. Tiger Cubs are  a young version of Boy Scounts ,younger than cub scouts they are 7. We should have fun tonight. Look for them on the trails this spring! Leader of the Pack
 
 

                        TIGER CUB LETTERBOX

 

Planted 3-11-03                 By : Leader of the Pack                rated: easy

 

Location Mansfield Middle School  ( available  after 3 p.m. on school days)

 

From Rte 195 in Mansfield turn onto Spring Hill Rd . At the Baptist Church opposite the Historical Society.  Follow Spring Hill to the Stop sign. Turn left, still on Spring Hill Rd.  The school is on your left.  Come up the driveway  keep to the left, and park.

 

Dedicated to the Mansfield Tiger Cubs who meet at Mansfield Middle School . Leave them a message and  tell where you are from please.

 

The Clues:

       Begin by standing under red, white ,and blue       walk down the red brick row                pass by two blue chairs.         Walk to the end of this path and stop.    Look both ways before crossing the driveway.        On the lawn opposite the  main entrance look left and right     see two very large evergreens one on each side of the lawn .       Now cross the little lawn keeping one on each side go  to the stone wall.         Stop and look for a small gap in the wall -  pass through .          Now look just a bit to the left for another gap in a second  wall pass through here too.           Now turn right and look along the wall to the corner.          Then let your eyes follow the wall down toward the street. See the large tree growing right in the middle of the wall.         Yes that is where you need to walk to.         Right at the base  look to see  a stone , the box  is there , a couple pieces of bark making a door you can open to remove the box.

Do  Not Move any stones in the wall.   Stone walls are reminders of our farming history. Did you know the land the school is built on was once a farm.

 

 Stamp  your stamp in the log book stamp the  image from the box into your trail book. Seal everything back up tight to protect it from the weather. Replace as found and cover the entrance with the bark.

 

As always have fun and be safe when letterboxing.  Hope to meet you on the trail someday!  Leader of the Pack

Hey! I'm a tiger cub leader too! But we are in Washington state.
I've thought of taking my tigers on a hunt but haven't done it.
We've gone on a few trails where letterboxes were and I did
show them one. WE always have lots of siblings along. It
makes for very adventurous trips because they are younger than
the tigers!

Our pack was gifted a special letterbox by this year's webelo's
den that bridged up to boy scouts. It was created by Alafair and
brought here by Patricius Delevariensis. It's quite a special
stamp and we'd be willing to work out trying to send a print or
something or coordinate something between packs/dens.

Contact us offline at 7nails at truthmail dot com just sub the @
for at and the . for dot if you want to coordinate something.

Carol (Leader of the Pack) ,
A Huge Thank You for meeting with the Tiger Scouts last night.Everyone
seemed to enjoy the quest. I think that they are hooked on
Letterboxing now! IT was a nice surprise to everyone last night that
you planted a box in their honor. We will check on it every time we
meet to see how many visitors we have had. You sure insipired us all.
Keep up the GREAT work. See you on the trials.
