New letterbox - Greenwich Letterbox - Prince Edward Island, Canada

Greenwich Letterbox
Greenwich, Prince Edward Island, Canada
This is a Canadian National Park near St. Peter's Bay.

Planted by "the Family"(Yuzi, CERK, VFTR, butterbaby, spunky spaniel,
and rtrw) on August 14th, 2002.

Time - 15 minutes
Difficulty - easy
Distance - 200 yards or less. I never think about these things while
planting, only when typing in the clues.

What a great interpretive center. FYI, I believe there is a $4.00 fee
per person, but totally worth it. We were actually going to try to
get out on the trails and to the beach here, but some in the family
wouldn't have managed that much walking, so we planted close to the
interpretive center (another small fee, but truly worth going inside
for the multi media presentation alone). A terrific facility and
well managed.

To find the box, walk east of the interpretive center to the top of
the mound. Spaniel and I weren't sure, but this may be their septic
system. Find the green plastic topped access hole to whatever it is.
Take a compass reading of 340 degrees and look for the sickly reddish
conifer. Head toward the tree. Southwest of the tree you will see
some birches standing guard over your prize. Spaniel also encourages
you to wear long pants and something other than sandals on your feet
because of some prickers.

Enjoy. We were vacationing on Prince Edward Island when we planted
this box. Please help us keep it updated and dry as we will be there
very rarely. Thanks in advance. If we can help you in this or
there's something we need to know, please email us at rtrw@attbi.com
