I am re-submitting these clues as this popped up on the What's New list as
being in New York--NOT TRUE. Please note: this letterbox is in New
Hampshire! You will NOT find it in New York.
THE ANDRES INSTITUTE LETTERBOX
Placed by: Dancing Feet
Date: Placed: 11/02/02
Location: Brookline, New Hampshire
Rated: Easy, Moderate hike.
COMPASS NEEDED
Art and nature lovers, this beautiful spot is one of New Hampshire’s hidden
treasures. Two dozen sculptures are scattered along the hiking trails of the
Andres Institute atop Big Bear Mountain on Rt. 13 in Brookline, NH. These
sculpture trails are open to foot traffic, including cross country ski and
snowshoe traffic, year round. Take water, hiking shoes, binoculars, a camera
and of course a compass. There is a nice place to sit and have a picnic at
the top of the “hill” if the weather permits.
Directions:
The Andres Institute is located on Rt. 13 in Brookline, NH.
Park in back of the Big Bear Lodge on Rt. 13. A trailhead is located in the
rear of the parking lot. Pick up a trail map and head left to the driveway
gate.
Clues:
Follow the sculpture trail to Phoenix.
Place your compass at its base.
Locate 270 degrees and look behind the farthest small boulder on this line.
Please be sure to replace the box carefully. It is inaccessible with snow
cover.
Note: The STUDIO, the steel building, may be visited when artists are
present with their permission. Stop by and ask.
PLEASE PACK OUT ALL TRASH.
ENJOY!

This letterbox is accessed by boat- canoe, kayak,
or other.
Link to this map for directions; printing it out
may help locate the island once you're there:
Small rocky island, most easily accessed from the
south, as there is a nice smooth rock on which to climb ashore.
15-20 pine trees identify this hiding spot, midway
between R35 and Tyler Cove.
Letterbox in the NE corner tucked under a rock
crevice.
Bring along a picnic lunch and make an afternoon of
it!
This is a gorgeous spot and well worth a low-key
vacation of camping and paddling.
There are endless places to hide more letterboxes
in this park.
Happy Letterboxing!
