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!
