Directions: Take I-89 to Exit 18, go to Lebanon green (the rotary), past the library continue straight ahead on Campbell Street. A GULF service station will be on your left. Go left on Spencer Street. The trailhead is on your right. Parking straight ahead.
This 25-mile Rail Trail is constructed along the former railroad bed of the Boston & Maine Northern Line. Daniel Webster gave the keynote address in downtown Lebanon in 1847, celebrating the inauguration of this railroad which connected Boston with White River, Jct. Vt. The fare was $4. However, passenger service ended in 1965, with a few freight trains operating into the early 1970s. Today, through the efforts of a local snowmobile club, the old rail bed has been turned into a scenic trail for use in both summer and winter. This flat, smooth trail along the Mascoma River is popular with hikers and bicyclists. No motorized vehicles are allowed during summer.
From the trail head, continue past the colorful gate, (it's not very far). In a short distance you'll see a path on the right that leads to a football field. Take 25 more steps, which will lead you to a path less traveled. You can see the wreckage, even through dense summer foliage.
Walk along the trail side of the wreckage to the end, look to your left among a bank of railroad ties. Now that you have found the box, what do you think the wreckage is?
Hey, Gizz, thanks for carving this challenging stamp!
