New letterboxes in the Magic Tree House Series

With the kids off school we decided to plant all the letterboxes that we
have been planning. Now with the snow and the cold weather it may be
several weeks before they can be found. Speaking as someone who loves snow
the 4 -5 inches we have gotten just aren't enough, even though it does put
the crimp on letterboxing...

These spots are three of our favorite in the area. I hope everyone else
enjoys them as well.

Here they are:

Ryan Park
North Kingstown, RI
"Afternoon on the Amazon"

Difficulty - Easy, a beautiful 1+ mile walk crossing Belleville Pond in one
of the town parks. The pond is very shallow and has water lilies growing on
it in the summer. It has a special manmade treat in the center that you
will visit in your pursuit of the letterbox.

Directions: Take Rt 4 to Oak Hill Rd. From the north Oak Hill will be a
left turn at the first stop light. From the south it will be a right turn
at the second light. Take the 2nd entrance to Ryan Park on your left. If
you hit Rt 1 you have gone too far. When the road forks go left and follow
the directions to the boat launch and park.
