Kinkora Letterbox
Kinkora Country Inn,
Kinkora, Prince Edward Island, Canada

Difficulty - easy
Distance - a stone's throw, but please don't
Time - drive by. 5 minutes.

Planted by "the Family"(Yuzi, CERK, VFTR, butterbaby, spunky spaniel,
and rtrw) on August 13th, 2002. All six of us stayed at this
comfortable and lovely B&B during our vacation on Prince Edward
Island and enjoyed it tremendously. We asked for and received
permission to plant a box in the yard. The only request was that you
knock on the door and let them know you're here to look for the
letterbox before you begin your search. If no one answers, go look
for your treasure. These are neat people and it was our pleasure to
stay with them on our trip.

The History - The original home was built in 1921 by M. J. McIver,
who came to be known as "the Potato King". From 1935 to the early
nineties was a convent. This property also housed the first rural
high school, which started in 1941 and continued until 1955.


The Box - From Route 1, turn onto route 225 and follow that road
straight to Kinkora. The Inn will be on your left. Take the first
driveway (westernmost entrance in the "U" shape) and stop at the end
of this side of the driveway. Please, don't forget to check in at
the front door before searching. As you come down the front steps
turn right and head in a westerly direction toward the first cedar
tree. Your prize lies below its branches waiting to be found. The
Spaniel, who recently turned 14, conceived and drew the stamp.
Didn't she do a nice job? Since we are from 9-15 hours drive away
from PEI, please keep an eye on our box for us. We'd be happy to pay
for replacements as needed. Please send any info to rtrw@attbi.com.
Thanks. Enjoy.
