Hi! Started letterboxing in August and have been placing and finding
a lot of boxes in southeastern Mass. Just thought we would let you
know that the following boxes are alive and well as of 11/22/03:
Newt Rockne in Rehoboth
Flight of the Bumble Bee's Revenge and Hunny Letterbox in Attleboro.
Tried to find Soaring Willows in Seekonk, but we couldnt find the
hemlock trail and there are no trail maps anywhere. It looks like
they have been doing a lot of work, and there is a sign that says the
trail names are changing (the trails we saw had names of colors: Red
Trail, Yellow Trail, etc.) Is this something new? Do the clues need
to be changed?
If anyone has been to any of our letterboxes (jay and amy) recently,
please let us know how they are doing!
Also, curious about the two HH we have sent out: The J and A HH and
Harriet's Hitchhiker (little fishy stamp). If you have seen them,
please let us know!!
Thanks!
-Amy and Jay

Hi, Amy and Jay,
All I can say about that Soaring Willows box is that Betz and I tried to find it more than 2 years ago. We, too, had no trail map from the little building at parking lot. We talked to people on the trails and it wasn't much help; they had no idea where the "hemlock trail" was, and they walked the area frequently. We gave up after quite a walk. IIRC, we tried to fit the clues to where we walked and what we saw, but that didn't work. So our experience wasn't much different than yours and we tried a very long time ago. There might be maps on-line at the Audubon site. ASRI controls the Seekonk refuge, AFAIK.

Soaring Willows was last reported found by Team Green Dragon on
December 2, 2002. Rustypuff and I found it the previous May. So it's
findable.

Actually we found the box in the snow last Thanksgiving morning . It
was a beautiful , crisp , clear day with about six inches of fresh
snow . This is a box we still talk of finding . One of our favorites .
Thanks Jay !

My sister and I found this box a couple years ago. We found it to
be very tricky. In fact, we'd just about given up but decided to
explore a little further along the trail we were on and then, viola,
we spotted what had to be the location, and it was.
I don't want to give anything away, but it's not a quick hike.

Hi folks. We found Soaring Willows last spring (April 3 I believe).
There is a map to the refuge on the LBNA website under files/MA trail
maps. The day that we went there were better trail maps available in
the little house on the site. Yes some of the trails are being
relabeled, but the box is a little tricky --- just keep looking!
We picked up Harriet's HH at "The Forgotten Road" on Cape Cod and
placed it somewhere else. Sorry, I've been a little behind with my HH
reports.
