This box is located at the top of Pack Monadnock. You can either drive or hike. If you start at Miller State Park sometimes there is a fee of $3 to use the Park. There is another trail that is free to use called the Raymond Trail, which is our favorite. Half-way up it has a spectacular view of Mt. Monadnock and we have seen many hawks in that area. To access the Raymond trail go west past the entrance to Miller State Park and take Mountain rd. It is a little ways on the right. Be careful the trailhead is not that big but well marked. If you use the Park entrance and hike be sure to visit Winduphiker's Muncha Muncha LB on the Marion Davis Trail on the way back down.

Directions: Miller State Park on 101 in Peterborough - across from Temple Mountain Ski Area.

Time: Driving- less then 10 minutes.
Hiking-2 hour round trip
Hike- Moderate.
Driving- fun!!!

Clues: Get to the top using any trail. Breathe! After having lunch and enjoying the view from the top of the new tower (make sure you look for Boston!), start your hunt by taking the Wapack Trail NORTH. At the bottom of the first hill look left for an 'arm shaped' tree (it has been reported that the tree has fallen a bit and is now restintg on it's 'elbow'). Go and sit on (or stand in front of) the 'bicep' facing NW (wheee!). Straight ahead of you there is a small outcropping of rocks. Search it for your reward!

*Also included in this box is a gift for you, so please take only one per stamp.

PLEASE be discreet when finding this box. This area is very busy. Please re-hide so that it can't be seen. Let us know what trail you hiked or if you drove, both can be an adventure! Thanks!
