You Otter See This, Letterbox
 
Handicap accessible letterbox : rating easy
 
Replanted May13,2001  Cowboy and Leader of the Pack
 
Take Rte 6 in N.Windham past Walmart and the small Windham  airport. Not long after the shopping district there is a commuter parking lot on the left. Pull in and park here.
 
Two otters came out to play
On  a sunny winter day.
 
We saw them slip and slide on the  ice
Seeing this is exciting and nice.
 
We made a box and put it here
Vandals  smashed it that was clear.
 
Same log and stamp recovered now
Have a new home for good now.
 
Pass through the gate
 on any date
 
Turn right
the path in sight
 
Follow white lines
through white  pines
 
Down  a gentle slope
Even a  set of wheels could cope
 
We passed some logs on the right
In  a stack  packed tight
 
We come to a place where someone lived
There steps and cellar hole a memory give.
 
The flood control moved them on
and so shall you go on
 
Pass all of their wall
Continue a little more don't stall
 
Then on the left  another set of gaurdrails
This is the end of your trail
 
Behind the second post
An otter lives  as host.
 
( We actually spied otters at play in the winter from the dike where you began  take a moment to look for the  wildlife this park is abundent in .  You may collect Paddle to the Sea letterbox  by going from the same starting point.)
