Route 195
Mansfield
(stamp size 2 x 2)
This box makes it’s home in Mansfield. Many of us have letterboxed in this area before but not from this entrance.
From Rte 195 drive until you find mailbox 812. (After Chaffeeville Rd and before Ledgewood Dr.) The entrance is across the street and there is a metal gate and a small white foot path side on the left side of the gate. I parked after mailbox 818 on a dirt road owned by the State.
PLEASE BE CAREFEUL CROSSING THIS BUSY ROAD.
You can park off the road on the same side of the entrance but PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
Please bring black ink with you for this image.
Start down the trail. Soon there will be an old foundation on the left side of the trail. There are faint white blazes on the trees.
Eventually you will come to a 4 way intersection. Go right on the Pine Ridge Trail. Immediately walk through a stone wall. You will walk through 3 more stone walls. STOP here. You should see 2 cedars on the right side of the trail and a rock wall that is parallel to the trail. Ahead is a split tree across the trail. From the 2 cedars look left. Walk 21 steps to an odd shaped cedar with many trunks.
The mighty Mississippi letterbox by JB Kokopelli waits in front of this tree under a rock.
