The UVM 50 Years letterbox, Weybridge, Vt. ( near Middlebury )
 
Easy  1/2 hour or less not counting wonderful tour.
 
Fee for tour to support wonderful program WORTH EVERY PENNY
 
Visit the UVM Morgan Farm on Seymour St. in Weybridge , Vt. follow signs from  Rte 103 in Weybridge . Upon arriving cast your eye on the classic horse. Morgans are known for their disposition and versatility. Western, English, Carriage Driving, Trail. Today  on the 50 th anniversary of the farm we witnessed the best of the breed " strut their stuff"  including a 36 year old carriage horse driven by its octogenarian owner We toured the facsility reveling in the Morgans beauty and talent.  We appreciate the wonderful history of Morgans. Many early Morgans were mounts for the US Cavalry. At the Remount Barn ( rear of the farm ) is where these beautiful war horses were bred and born.  Enjoy seeing the foal crop here.
    To find the 50 th anniversary box proceed to the  sign of the Remount barn take the path along the left side keep the fence to your right. The woods are on the left.  Where the trail says" You take the high road and I'll take the low road" take just 2 more paces then look left to the hollow. Retrieve the box quietly and stamp up somewhere private then tuck it back in unseen! This is a busy tourist place please be discreet.  Make sure the box is well covered with the stone and wood so it won't be seen in winter.  Have fun - Be safe!
