Congratulations, Danielle!
If I can free myself up from child care, I will make every effort to
cross the Connecticut and hunt for your box. But I seriously doubt
that I'll beat Nisa :-]

Yes, thanks you both (Tom and Dan'l for the Christmas wishes, I wish you all
the same happiness for the New Year's!)
Here it is, what we all have been waiting for..............another NH
letterbox!
Welton Falls, Mt. Cardigan, Alexandria, NH
Clues: Easy
Terrain: Easy
Driving Directions:
---Route 93 to exit 23
---Route 104 West about 6 miles to the traffic light in Bristol (Yes, when I
say the traffic light I mean THE traffic light, there is only ONE!!!)
---Stay straight at light onto Route 3A North for about 2 miles
---At flashing yellow traffic light take a left onto West Shore Road
---In about 1.7 miles West Shore Rd. will turn right, you need to stay
straight and go onto Cardigan Mountain Road
---Cardigan Mt. Rd. will turn into Fowler River Road when you cross the
Alexandria town line.
---(From the start of Cardigan Mt./Fowler River Rd. to the start of Weldon
Falls Road it is 4.3 miles)
---Welton Falls Rd. is on your right take this for about 1.2 miles
---You will see a sign that says "Road not maintained by town" continue on
this road for about a 0.1 of a mile. (If not in a sturdy vehicle you can
park at the beginning of this road and walk up.)
---You'll come to an old wooden bridge, park BEFORE it in small area to the
left.
---Take a deep breath and sigh, you are here. :)
Clues:
---Cross over the stream and walk uphill (less than a 0.1 of a mile)
---On right there will be a stone wall with a white birch dead wood
---On left a white birch whose trunk has grown into two
---Here is the trailhead to Welton Falls on the left
---Follow "Smokey the Bear's" signs down through the valley then up over the
hill to the stump on the left bearing toad stools
---here walk approximately 50 paces at 228 degrees downhill to a large rock
on the river bed
---At 145 degrees walk about 9 paces -STOP
---Look uphill at 60 degrees for the rock supported by a tree root
---Nestled under the root is the Welton Falls Letterbox
---(Coordinates from the hiding spot -- 290 degrees Welton Falls, 360
degrees one stump with 3 trees, 180 degrees another large rock in the
river bed)
Dan'l if you would please post these on the web site I would appreciate it.
When I get a chance to get to someone's house with a scanner I will scan the
stamp too.
Good Luck and take care.
Pax,
Danielle
