We just love this wonderful rockpile! This year we were able to meet
with a couple of the amazing rangers there, who support letterboxing
and have signed in to most of the boxes. It's fun to see our carving
skill progress over the years since our first Monadnock box was
placed in 1999. These latest two are some of our favorite carvings
yet.

Finding the Graphite Mine is an adventure in itself. This historic
spot is up the Cliff Walk Trail from Emerson's Seat. Turn down into
the old mine area and notice the rocky ramp that was used to roll
kegs of graphite down the mountain. From the western end where the
ramp peters out, take 8 steps east-southeast back along the wall. The
Graphite Mine Letterbox is planted low, under a big quartz boulder.

Here's our latest, with stamp art by Ned (11 years old). At the
junction of the White Cross Trail and the Smith Connecting Link, from
the "To Bald Rock" paint mark, look 12 steps southwest under a low
lying shard of schist. As always, please be sure to stay on the rock
surfaces to protect this fragile alpine environment.
