From Rte 31 in Coventry turn onto South River Road. ( Same way
to Ben E, Red bird and Truman Meadow letterboxes) Follow South River
slowly. Pass the Hickory Ridge tree farm ,a little further down the
road you will see a small bridge ,pull off just after it. This is all
private land so please stay on the road edge and don't disturb the
neighbors.
Christmas morn 1974 dawned clear and glistening in this
neighborhood . A coating of ice over every surface left a magical
look to the holiday dawn. Outside in the backyard I saw a beautiful
black Morgan horse glistening in icy tendrils herself.
My Christmas miracle and a gift that lasted until spring of 2002.
This box commemorates my best friend Cindy - a little Morgan mare who
came and stayed ,taught my children to ride and my niece, and was
here for so many birthday parties and family functions. She is missed!
Stand on the bridge take note of Harakaly and Allen and move to
the left of them all the way to the end of the gaurd rail. Stop here
and walk around the end to find a momento to a quiet little horse who
enjoyed a swim and bath in this very piece of the river. This was
her place - a favorite stop on a ride to Truman meadow. Please return
to your car to stamp then seal the box tightly before hiding it in
the same spot. Thanks
