Shieling Forest Letterbox #3

This is our 2nd Shieling Forest Letterbox (the 3rd one placed there).  It's dedicated to our daughter, Emma, who came home to us on May 5, 2000 and it was placed on this 1st year anniversary.

The clues and name really have nothing to do with the stamp, but here goes:

CINCO D'EMMA MAIJA LETTERBOX

LOCATION:  Shieling Forest, Peterborough, NH
DIRECTIONS:  From Route 202 in Peterborough, NH go up Old Street Road, past the hospital and Shieling Forest will be about 1/4 mile south on the left.

CLUE DIFFICULTY:  Moderate
TERRAIN:  Easy-Moderate (walk in the woods)
ESTABLISHED:  May 5, 2001
AUTHOR:  Nisa and Eric Simila
 

Two lovers carved their promise in tall wood
And sealed it with a knot;
They trysted by a rocky cave
In fear of being caught.

The lovers were discovered in time
And the two were wrenched apart.
Now beneath the rock that severs them,
Lies the treasure of their one heart.

additional clues:  eastern side of the Ridge; 2, 12, 90; north by northwest and up
