We've finally gotten around to replacing one of our favorite
letterboxes, at beautiful Hains Point in Washington, DC:

Cherry Blossoms

About 5 level miles round trip from the Jefferson Memorial. 100 yards
of walking if you drive: very kid-and-elderly-oriented.

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 bustle of
Washington.

Just north of a most surprising statue is a playground. The Cherry
Blossom Letterbox lives 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 60 steps
easterly, to the end of the mound. Facing the fence, the box is on
the ground in the space between the fence and a tree, under a flat
rock brought for the purpose from a New England stone wall. Good luck!
