Difficulty: easy
Total Distance: <2 miles roundtrip to get both
Total time: Under 1 hour to get both
These are fairly easy letterboxes to find, and good for both beginners, and experts. One offers a fun place to kick back and watch/hunt/catch frogs, and the other a view of boston and the rolling hills of Massachusetts.
Park at the Princeton Post office on Route 31. Take a right and walk down Worcester Road, a.k.a Route 31. Soon you will see Power lines running across the street. Cross the street and cross over the short wall into the open feild under the left side lines. Stay along the woods to the left and walk roughly 100 feet. You will see a small path that leads into the woods. Walk left down the path. You will cross a stonewall if you are on the right one. It is very easy to follow, and provides shelter from the sun. Stay on the trail untill it opens up back into the field under the power lines. Follow the small grassy path until you see a rockwall that intersects the path. Cross over, then count out 10 paces down the path. Turn left and walk towards the edge of the woods. You will see a small path. Follow that untill you come to a fence. Skirt around the fence until you reach a gate. Go through, and stay along the left fnece. You will reach a small clearing after 20 feet. Turn towards the pond, and walk down towards it. The Frog Bog Letterbox is dead ahead about four feet before you reach the shore. It has a red top, and is easy to spot. It is wedged between two 4-inch stumps.
If you would like to continue on to the next box, the Prudential View Box, follow these directions:
Head back to the Power-line trail. When you get there, take a left. Count the number of wire poles that you pass. follow the path for a while, and enjoy the wildlife around you. After a while you will see a blue house on your left. Once you count out six, walk to the middle of the sixth and seventh pole. Turn left, and you will see a 5 foot rock about 15 feet off the trail. Behind that rouck is the Prudential wiew Letterbox. Enjoy the view. On clear days, You can see Boston. The name of this box came from the fact that you can see the Pru clearly almost every day. Head back down the power lines trail untill you see a wooden barrier marking the beginning of the Woods trail. I hope you enjoyed my first two letterboxes.
If your not the adventurous type and are heading home, follow these: Trace your steps back to the powerlines trail. Head right until you reach the woods trail. Follow that until the road, and then walk back to your car.
Note: I did not include a stamp pad in these boxes, so be sure to bring them. Also, dont forget bug spray and binoculars. Enjoy!
