As of 11/30/13, this box has been retired.

The newest round of the box of the month is under way...

It is still the same idea- a new box every month for the year, from a different carver around the United States. The box will be in place from ~ the 1st through the ~25th each month-depending on weather, the mail etc. The final box (my own) will be permanently placed at the final location.

This year I am doing it a little differently. You will not be going to the same location each month for the new box, but rather the same trail and starting from different locations. The trail will be the Airline Trail. It runs through Lebanon and has many road crossings. Each month I will start you from a new crossing and head to a different spot on the trail.

So, for the tenth letterbox in this series, make your way to the Airline Trail crossing on Chesbro Bridge Road. After parking, head SOUTH on the trail around the gate.

Pass wooden marker 14 on your left.

Then pass a large rock on the right side of the trail.

Shortly after that, there will be a culvert running under the trail. It has stone/cement on either side of the trail.

Stop here, turn around and walk ~ 20 steps back the way you came.

Stop and see a large, downed tree on your left running perpendicular to the trail.

Next to the tree, on the right, is a good sized rock.

Look on the back, left corner of this rock beneath leaves, sticks and rocks for the beautiful Bluebird letterbox by shooz of MI.

Please be sure to hide the box well and naturalize the area when you are done. It has many more stops to make before it gets home and back to its owner.

Thanks,
Flutterby
