Update 4/4/10 - Last box with logbook is currently missing. Will re-carve and plant in a different location without poison ivy!!
These boxes are dedicated the creative genius of Maurice Sendak
This journey is not for the timid or meek of heart, but if you like mischief of one kind or another then make your way to Adams Point Rd and press on until you can go no further and park.
On this day Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind another. He headed south from the kiosk, between the chained wooden gate and bounded straight towards two apple trees on the right. Sitting at the base of the second apple tree, Max found some serious mischief lurking under a rock. The apple tree cried, “WILD THING!” and Max shouted back, “I”LL EAT YOU UP!” So he was sent STRAIGHT to bed without even an apple.
Walking sullenly to his room, Max noticed the green carpet under his feet turning to grass, the flat floor becoming a rolling meadow with a forest at its edge. In the distance he saw an ocean and followed it, keeping it to his left. He walked past a bench, and (65 paces later) as the path gradually descended he spied on his left, a large five masted ship with one mast rotted off at 8 feet. He looked at the base of the smallest mast and found his own private boat. Max quickly jumped aboard and sailed onward, through night and day, and in and out of weeks , and almost over a year, until he passed through a wall and into the Land of the Wild Things.
As Max journeyed on through this mysterious new land, he heard a most terrible roaring coming from a stone den on his right. He bravely climbed up into the circle and looking under an overhang of the center stone he found a Wild Thing staring up at him with its terrible eyes.
Continuing on, they came to some stone thrones with a grand view, but what was that terrible roaring ahead? They carried on past another granite slab on the left until they reached a large three armed oak on the right. Max looked behind this tree, under a rock, and here he found another Wild Thing gnashing his terrible teeth at him.
Together they roamed through pine forests and past a small point on the left. Max bravely led them over a rushing torrent with only a single plank to walk on. They turned right, and headed up hill until he found a wrinkly old man birch. Max reached between the old man’s feet and found a magnificent crown which he placed upon his head. He turned to the Wild Things and said, “BE STILL” and tamed them with the magic trick of staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once, and they were frightened and made him King of all the Wild Things.
They returned down the hill and followed the arrow to the right. Soon a stone wall joined them on the left and when they came to an arrow pointing left, Max yelled, “STOP!” They followed the arrow through the stone wall and Max took 25 MONSTER steps to some overturned roots on his left. After peeking under the base of the trunk, Max turned to the Wild Things and commanded “LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!”
After much rumpusing, Max noticed the smell of good things coming from across the world. The Wild Things roared “Oh please don’t go – we’ll eat you up - we love you so!” But Max said “NO!” He headed back through the stone wall and turning left he sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and onto a road. He continued up the hill and back to the car where he found his supper waiting for him. And it was still hot.
