this new letterbox on a miniscule island in new
hampshire will probably be found by very few people
because it is not easy to get to.
if it's for you, i think you'll know it...
trey
CHOCORUA ISLAND
letterbox
Holderness, New Hampshire
Grafton County
NOTES:
1. Bearing = degrees from MAGNETIC north, NOT true
north.
2. Pace = one footfall of either foot (I'm tall and
have a relatively long stride).
3. Step = same as a pace (strange but true). Used
only because the plurals do not contain the same
number of syllables--important for haiku clue
construction.
4. Clue Difficulty = 1 (1 is easy, 5 is almost
impossible).
5. Terrain Difficulty = 1 (same scale).
6. Access Difficulty = 4 (private boat only).
7. Hike Length = Very short.
8. Poison Ivy Factor = none
CLUES:
A tiny island.
First Boys' Camp in USA.
Now, outdoor chapel.
Difficult access.
If one needs to ask how to,
One should not go there.
The box location
Respects the island's purpose.
Seachers must also.
Walk from main boat dock
Forty eight steps from water,
Up main chapel path.
Left turn at small path.
Find Ernest Balch's carved rock.
Ponder his great 1st.
Continue past rock
To the water's edge, then turn:
Bear one-seven-oh.
You are very close:
Thirty-three steps to big rock
(Flat top, with lichen).
On south side of rock:
A smaller stone and some leaves
Conceal the journal.
Stamp-in, give congrats
On Jeanne and Ted's wedding.
Re-hide, and enjoy!
Remember: STAMP IN, TRASH OUT! Help letterboxing
build it's good reputation by finding some litter and
packing it out with you!
