LMS Kids Letterbox - Oak Hill, Littleton, MA

 

Planted 10/13/02 (but not available until now) by TEAM SPOONHEAD. Used as a school science project for the past month.

 

Directions to Oak Hill from intersection of route 110 and 2A/119 in Littleton:

Head west on route 2A for two miles to the left intersection with King Street (Sunoco gas station/Clydes car wash on corner). Take this left and proceed straight over railroad tracks to intersection. Cross intersection and continue straight on Sanderson Road (Johnsons convenience store on left) for another tenth of a mile to fork. Go right at fork onto Oak Hill Road. Continue for another 200 yards to trail-head on right. Look carefully - sign is set back from road.

 

Park in the small parking area and get onto the trail system. Follow trail to Summit Rock. Stand on the highest part of Summit rock, and set a course on the path which is due north. When you get to the top of the next little hill, you will see several rocks on the right and a triple tree on the left. Orient yourself so you are standing on the highest rock facing back the way you came. Position yourself so that the blue trail marker on the tree about 20 feet in front of you is at 182 degrees and the triple tree is at 251 degrees. Walk 55-60 steps at a bearing of 89 degrees. Look for a wall of tumbled down rocks on your left. Just ahead of you is a V shaped tree. Stand downhill so that you are looking directly through the V. Slightly to the right you will see two large rocks that have rock tripe on them. The prize (a tupperware container with a white top) is there!

 

The letterbox contains a variety of small trinkets because this location doubles as a geocache. If you take one of the small items you should leave one. This is my wifes first letterbox and she tried to make it challenging but not impossible! Let me know (pmcq@massed.net) how she did!
