Begin at Yellow Gate, on Carl Johnson Road (Braintree Entrance).
Follow to a split of ways, and take the road less traveled by, the right wrongway.
Go past the abundant wild ferns, till a grassy slope comes into view.
Just to the right, you will find Red Nature Trail.
Enter the path, and after a short distance, take the first right off the path.
Walk out carefully, and take in the beautiful view.
If they are near, feed the snow-white swans gliding across the pond.
Once you are ready, return to the trail and walk on.
Eventually, you will come to a picnic area by the pond.
Pass through, and head on up the gravel path to an Yellow gate.
Walk around, or climb through, depending upon how adventurous you feel.
Just beyond the gate, you will come upon a paved path.
Turning right, continue on.
Past the dam, and then up a small, twisting hill, you will find yourself in a bright grassy clearing, the paved path running right down the center.
Stay on the path for about 100 yards, watch carefully and you will see the first right into the woods (towards the pond).
You have entered the place where those who worship nature congregate.
Proceed to the front of the chapel and take a seat.
Find the tree that is but a half.
Turning your back on the pond, you will be given a view of two towering trees that form a high gate (between trees 3 and 4 counting from left).
Beyond that gateway, find the answer to that age old question:
"If a tree falls in the woods..."
Beneath the side nearer to the pond you will find the letterbox.
Please rehide the letterbox well. A fine spot for a picnic is on your right.

To return to your parking spot, go out to the main path, take a left, and follow the paved path.
This will lead you back to where you started.

We hope you enjoyed this letterbox! Happy Birthday Papa!
