This is the lovely spring version of our fall series at Oak Hill Cemetery. The boxes include the Pansy LB, Iris LB, Tulip LB, Daffodil LB, and the Crocus LB.
To find the boxes, follow the clues from the other series as follows:
Having been inspired by all of our Letterboxing Buddies down the Cape and in Maine, we have placed our first handcarved series -- mostly done by Traveler 2! Happy Hunting! This may not be a permanent placement, since we still need some permission, but for the season, please have fun but also handle with care and respect.
This series is located in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Bellingham, Massachusetts. It is very easy to access, since it is right near Rte. 495 by the Walmart Plaza. It is a tricky turn coming from the highway, however, so please be careful, or turn around and access it from 109 as if you were coming from Medway. After turning in the entry furtherest from Walmart, turn right onto an older path, and turn left. Park your car near a bench lovingly placed by the Finlay family. Continue walking down this path until you see the stone marked for Michael and Elizabeth's daughter who died at less than two years of age. Turn left, towards a large bush which holds your first treasure, the Pansy Letterbox. Please rehide carefully, as it is completely hidden!
Next, make your way to the end of the fence ahead. You will find a water spigot there. Walking up along the fence, Griffin looks upon the seventh marker which holds the Iris letterbox. After carefully rehiding, head back towards the path your car was on. Some of the travelers wanted to throw a box all the way to Staples' roof for you to look for, but better judgment prevailed.
As you walk back, look for a Tempest which aligns with a Bishop. From here walk thirty small steps towards the fence. In a broken stump you will find the Tulip carefully hiding in this letterbox. Rehide well, and walk back towards the path again. You will find a stone which shares its name with a popular family restaurant in Bellingham, known for their cinnamon buns and broached chicken. Next to this stone is a bush which housees the Daffodil Letterbox, covered with pine cones. Please be sure to recove, because otherwise the box will be visible. Do notjust replace the box, but rehide with care, because we don't want to lose it!
Now you are heading for the last letterbox, which was unavailable due to the falling of the tree in which it was hidden! But guess what . . . the tree that fell was cleaned up and guess what was left behind! Crocuses and logbook are now available -- just walk down into the Old North Bellingham cemetery towards Polly Coombs and look for a broken old headstone with two American flags . . . Behind it X marks the spot of your treasure. One stamp is missing but will be re-carved this week!
When this box was unavailable, we planted a new box for the log for this series -- it is called "Flowers for Polly." Please find the historic grave for Polly Coombs. Do you see what's so unusual about it? Now, facing her grave look back at 8:00 and look under a rock for the logbook for this series, and a new special stamp! Re-hide the box well. Happy hunting!
