Start in the tiny parking lot of the Brookline Reservoir on the corner of Boylston and Warren Streets.
1. Walk up the paved path to meet the gravel path.
2. Facing the reservoir, the granite gate house will now be to your far right.
3. Walk away from the gate house, following the gravel path with the reservoir to your right.
4. Keep a close count of the number of benches you pass.
5. A good number of the benches have dedication plaques. Many are loving. Some are humorous. All are worth reading!
6. Note the amazing trees and the beauty of the reservoir.
7. Halfway around the reservoir you will pass a smaller stone gate house.
8. Take careful note around bench 44 or 45, the bench that has been dedicated to honor and remember Michael J. Freed.
9. Right before that bench, you should see a gorgeous white birch tree.
10. There will be a small tree stump, (the kind that would make a fine stool or low night table) to the left of the birch tree.
11. Gaze behind the birch tree towards Route 9.
12. Lying parallel to the ground should be a large and commanding tree trunk.
13. Make your way, walking about 27 steps to approach the end of the tree trunk.
14. Gaze into the wide opening at end of the tree trunk and awaiting you should be the STAR Bright Toasting YOU letterbox, tucked gently behind some leaves and rotted wood.
