The African Queen Letterbox
Rated: Super Easy
Location: Gillette Castle
Planted By: Pink Trotters, with the help of Leader of the Pack,
Cowboy, and Draft Dad
"The African Queen" is a box planted in honor of the actress
Katharine Hepburn who costarred With Humphrey Bogart in the 1951
movie "The African Queen." This box has been placed at the home of
fellow Thespian William Gillette. This is my first stamp and box, I
hope you enjoy it. - Pink Trotters.
Follow the path along the stone wall from the parking lot towards the
Castle. Enter the trail under the stone archway, before you get to
the house or the depot. Go past the brick building and down the
trail. Follow the trail to the covered bridge. Walk through the
bridge and around a small bend. Observe the knee high stone ledge.
Walk up the embankment to the Oak tree. Where the dead stump is
sticking out of the ground at the base of the tree there is a pile of
rocks. The box lays beneath it. This is a VERY busy trail so please
be discrete.

I am an old movie buff so I can't wait to get to this stamp! I actually know
the exact path you are talking about. Funny story... about a week ago I
tried setting up a family letter boxing day at Gillette, unfortunately my
sister couldn't make it and I couldn't get the clues from the website. I
guess it was lucky I didn't because now I get to hunt The African Queen too!
