                                                      The Nurses Letterbox
                                                         Pyramid Rock, Durham, CT
  
 
The Gal Pals have placed an add-in to the Oma's Outlook Letterbox on Mica Hill Ledges in Durham, Connecticut.
 
Directions- Follow the directions to Oma's Outlook Letterbox and park in the same place.
 
The Hike- Easy  but if adding on with Oma's Outlook, remember the steep scramble to the top. Gal Pals can do it- You can too ! If only doing Pyramid Rock, it will take you 20 mins. round trip.
 
Once at Pyramid Rock, which is just before the steep scramble up, go to the SW side of the Rock, you will see the red blazed trail. Just after the second red blaze ( which is still on the sw side of Pyramid Rock) and with a hemlock immediately on your right side (before the trail dips slightly down)-turn to the right 270 degrees. The Nurses Letterbox is on the opposite side as Pyramid Rock and nestled in the rock at chest to eye level.
Stamp in carefully- on weekends it can get busy with hikers and mountain bikers. You may choose to continue on to Oma's Outlook or retrace your steps and go back to the car.
Happy Letterboxing to All !
 
ps- This letterbox is dedicated to all the wonderful nurses who have cared for us "above and beyond" the call of duty. Oma was One of the Best !! She was graduated from the Hartford Hospital School of Nursing in 1941.
