Find your way to Manchester NH and make your way to Derryfield Park. The best way to access this letter box is to park near the baseball field right at Resevoir Rd.

Head into the woods off of Resevoir Road (where there is clearly a path with large boulders in front). This path is heavily travelled during the fall cross-country running season. Begin walking up the path. When you reach power lines, follow the power lines up the slope until you reach the Resevoir. At the brick building, bear right and head up the slope to the right. There are several dirt paths that lead up to the Weston Observatory and also a paved roadway (that I believe is NOT accessible by car). Once up at the observatory, continue to walk around to the left of the tower and search the large rocks between the tower and the OAK tree. You will find the LB there, under some natural debris and two smaller obviously placed rocks. Enjoy!
