There was talk at one point of compiling a sort of list of letterboxes
located near highways? I was wondering if such a list actually exists.
Since I drive back and forth to NYC from Maine fairly often a nice
letterbox would be a great reason to get out of the car and stretch my
poor legs. I'm just not familiar with some of the place names and
towns in other states, so it is hard to map them out in my mind.
I don't mean only drive-bys either. Just ones that are conveniently
located and would be a nice stop.
Anyone? You can email me at amymisha@dialmaine.com.
Thank you!

How far off the highway do you consider "conveniently located"? There are a
lot of great ones off of Rt. 95 here in MA, but some are in areas 15 or 20
minutes from the highway, some even a bit more.
How far out of your way would you like to travel? :-)

Oh, I think 15 or 20 minutes is reasonable. I can even see 30 minutes
off, if the trip is a leisurely one.

In Maine you might try "Rest and Relaxation" off exit 30 in Augusta,
"Laudholm Quest" off exit 2 in Wells, or "State of Maine" in York. All
are within a 5 minute drive of the highway.

Poor legs. Sheeze! You should try *walking* to NYC from Maine and
see how your legs feel then. ;o)

Wow! Tons come to mind! If you are going to be in CT between now and New
Year's, many of the 12 Days of Christmas are close to 95. Also, anything in New
London, Waterford, Mystic, Niantic/East Lyme etc.... the possibilities are
endless!

Okay, here's a bunch of MA boxes that are pretty close to 95:
(all posted publicly and not listing any mysteries, which if you do a bit of
homework, you'll discover a bunch in the area also)
Mansfield, MA -Sister Road, Sister Town
Sharon, MA - Fertile Frond (one of mine!)
Sharon, MA - Trillium
Sharon, MA - Moose Hill Series (perhaps too long to do them all, but could do
one or two in a reasonable time)
Needham, MA - Birdhouse (my most absolute favorite ever!!)
Concord, MA - Two Hearts
Canton, MA - Syvan Scholar
Canton, MA - Fly Like an Eagle
Dedham, MA - Angel Bear

LOL, Ryan! I'm just a complainer, I guess.
Hey... has anyone found your Paul Revere box yet, to your knowledge?
Just curious... you can email me offlist if you want.

A beautiful, fun and rewarding hike with Brian's ultra-cool stamps, YES! but
I'm not so sure about "quick". It took Christopher and I a couple of visits to
do the whole thing....I'm not sure how Brian and Ryan planted them all in one
day...perhaps they are bionic! ;-)
Regardless though, it's a series that's well worth a day of your time. It's
one of my favorites to date.
