Are there any letterboxes placed where a wheelchair user can hunt/find them?
We would like to join the fun.

We live in Maryland, but travel all over, so if there are locations where
letterboxes are accessible to wheelchair users we would like to know which
ones they are.

Hi Michelle,

The Father's Day Flower's letterbox in Voluntown, CT is on a (very
pretty)wheelchair accessable trail, however, the box is a couple of
steps off the path so once you found it you would probably need
someone to retrieve it for you.

The Trustom Pond Quest in Charlestown, RI is on a wheelchair
accessable trail, however, the clues send you off on some paths that
are not wheelchair accessable. If you are ever in RI I am sure the
clues could easily be modified to still be fun yet stay on the
wheelchair accessable trails. The box itself can actually be reached
from a wheelchair.

The Quonochontaug mystery box is wheelchair accessable, however, it
is a mystery box so unless you were from the area you would probably
have a hard time solving the clues :(

The Fast Track To your Degree LBs in Kingston, RI are nearly
wheelchair accessable. The first box is just slightly off a
wheelchair accessable path and the second box is definately
wheelchair accessable but might be difficult to reach from a
wheelchair. (The third box is currently missing.)

The Flutterby Traveler is definately wheelchair accessable. It is
the box that finds you. The problem is you have to get your name and
address on a list so that someone who gets the box in the mail might
send it to you.

If you ever find yourself in RI let me know. I would be happy to
explore letterboxes in the area with you.

Janet

Thanks for all your information. We have never been to RI, but there is
always a first time. Right now we are getting ready our stamp and plan to
head out this week-end in our area after our first letterbox. We are
excited to see what we find.

Michelle

Is this a virtual box? If not, how does this work?

My Noone Falls letterbox in Peterborough, NH is wheelchair
accessible. It's a very quick and easy find so unless you plan
something else in the area, I wouldn't make the trip all the way from
MD to NH just for it. :)
