Location: Nathaniel Hawthorne House
Contacts & RSVP: Debbie Blanchard or phyto_me@yahoo.com

What to Bring: something scrumptious & a drink for a potluck picnic
Your own lawn chair or folding chair (we'll eat outside unless it's raining)
Your letterbox notebook; personal rubber stamp, ink pad (copies of the trailguides
will be available for $1.00 as well as a Lakes Region Letterbox Trail stamp book for
$4.00)


Directions From Portland, Maine take Route 302 West, heading towards Bridgton.
Continue through Windham & Raymond. Go about 2 miles further and you'll see a
sign for "Cry of the Loon" gift shop on your left. Take a left onto the Raymond Cape
Road and proceed about 1/2 mil. Look carefully for a dirt road on your right called,
"The Captain Dingley Road." Take that right. Go a short distance until the road
forks. You'll see a ball field area. You can part there. (You may wish to continue first
about another 1/2 mile down the Raymond Cape Rd. to see where the Hawthorne
House is located before you park to unload your stuff; there just isn't much space
for parking there so we've been asked to park at the ballfield.)


There will be 7 letterboxes within a mile of the Hawthorne House that you can do
by foot!
