Some of you may remember these 2 boxes from years past. We followed these clues today and found 2 great spots for refurbished letterboxes. Enjoy them!

The boxes were originally placed by:

TWOGRAYSQUIRRELS LETTERBOXES
Wheaton Regional Park Letterboxes


THE RAILROAD Letterbox WAS back up and running! 12/4/04
Wheaton Regional Park, Wheaton, Maryland
******** 1/8/05 = Railroad Letterbox is missing ********

From the Capital Beltway (I-495) exit onto Georgia Ave.
Take a right onto Shorefield Road into Wheaton Regional Park.


Start at the Merry-go-round and the Wheaton Station. From there walk to the
right to a path leading into the woods. You will see a white house on your
right before you enter the woods. Take that paved woodland trail to the left
until you get to a round metal disk with an "S" on it. There you will turn
left onto a side dirt trail, continue on and cross the Railroad tracks. Keep
going past the B tree, over the creek and into the meadow where you will find
a gravel trail. Take the gravel trail to the right and again cross the
Railroad tracks. Continue on this trail until you cross a bridge. At this
point go left thru the meadow to the tracks and follow them to the right
until they split.

So, 2 tracks diverge in these Wheaton woods. Which is the one less traveled by?
Maybe you should pause to contemplate...perhaps on the tree stump chair between. Yes, you'll find that has made all the difference.



(The Return of the) DEER HOLLOW Letterbox = planted 11/26/04, again.

Back through the field to the road of gravel, is where you must begin your
travel.

Look to your right, then left and beyond, follow your nose to the pond.

Stop, look and listen for the wind that is free, it will lead you through the
arching tree.

Where the water rushes down into the ground, turn right to seek what can be
found.

Call it what you may a dam or a dike, it is the way you must take this hike.

Turn left if you have the brain and the gumption, when you come to the very
next junction.

The clues I made you must follow, and be sure to turn into Deer Hollow.

You will come to a T, whether bird, beast or snail and then you'll go right
on the Arcola Trail.

Count when you walk these multiple reps and stop when you reach 30 steps.

To your left can be seen a rock conglomerate, what you seek can be found tucked down between it.

If you found the prize and did not fail, turn around and follow the Nature
Center trail.
