This box was created and carved by Littlemonkey and given to us as a letterbox exchange at the CBB Winter Social.

Please bring your own ink pad or markers.

Location:
DORRS POND/LIVINGSTON PARK 352 Hooksett Road, Manchester (on the Daniel Webster Highway north). Park in the lot closest to the pond.

We love finding a beautiful piece of forest in the middle of a big city! This place offers something for everyone. It has a great shaded playground, a smooth gravel path which makes it very stroller and bike friendly, and dogs on leash are welcome too. The walk around the pond is just the right distance so that kids of all ages can manage it. We saw crayfish, giant snails (the size of a J’s fist) and a toad in a tee-pee. Check out the other letterboxes here too (Jedi Secrets and My Bare Bottom Baby).

Clues:
Follow the trail around the pond so that the pond is on your right. Walk a while until you come to the second bench on the left. There is another bench just as the trail begins up on the hill to the right but don’t count that one. Continue as the trail bends to the left and then to the right. You will pass under a leaning birch tree and come to a drainage pipe which crosses under the road. At this point, the pond will be about ten steps to your right. With the pond to your back, look across the trail and spy a lowish, flatish diamond-shaped rock and a two-trunked oak a couple feet to the right of the rock. Head between them about 15 steps or so where you will come to a small rock about four feet to the right of a medium sized pine. Here you will find Detective Tracy hiding under the rock. If you come to an eight foot tall tree stump, you’ve gone a few steps too far.

Continue along the trail around the pond where you will cross over many bridges and boardwalks making it well worth the walk!

Please be very descrete as this is an extremely popular place.
