The Ship to Neverland Letterbox
Sweeney School Series
Rated easy
Planted 3/21/02 by : Leader of the
Pack
In Windham take Rte 6 by Walmart and the
airport out to Rte 203. Take a right at the light on 203. Just a short distance
up the road on the Right is a Joshua's Trust Property the Windham Atlantic
White Cedar Bog . Park here there is room for several cars. Plan over 1
hour for the walk which is on old railroad bed straight and smooth.
The box:
The window on
the balcony was open the summer breeze wafted through the curtains,lifting
them lightly ,to drop against the frame and sill. The large
moon cast beams of light down onto the beds and sleeping children. The
light was broken by a shadow and the silouette of a mysterious ship passed
over the face of the moon. The Neverland ship for lost boys. Adventure if
you follow, youthful wars of play, daring feats, mermaids, indians and pirates.
The children followed.
Down the lane
where engines chugged in times past in pursuit of the ship to
Neverland. Passing a sign pointing out the bog. Water and haunted
looking trees everywhere. Down the lane, pass a place where ledges cling to both
sides keep going by the trees and swamps. Watch for wildlife
this is a safe place for the wild creatures to watch the ship pass
by. Walk on you will pass small side roads to nowhere keep to
the straight . The wind billows the sails and the ship flies onward it
comes to a yellow gate and the rudder drawn so the ship veers around to
come back. Hook must be beyond the gate where the path turns hard and
black. So turn with the ship and face where you came from . Look on the
right at one of natures wonders. High in the lofty masts out to sea at the right
is a nest . Not a crows nest of the ship but Great Blue Herons DO NOT
DISTURB! Hook is their friend. Now onward as the ship sails toward home
and the dawn. Pass on the right a hard to notice tree that beavers chewed long
ago now black and dead. Then on the left a tree branch reaches
out to swing at the passing ship - evergreen even in night.
Now as you dream away the night keep your eye to the right as the
Neverland ship cast off a treasure which now lies below the rim of a
black circle. Return home children and chase the dream ship another night
through childhood and open windows.
Stamp or sign
in privately and rehide the box so others may enjoy the
search.
