Tandem Mates Letterbox
Location: State: County: Barnstable Town: Wellfleet
Planted by: Tweety and Mr. Coon 6/25/03
Difficulty:
Easy, half mile walk to the letterbox on a paved bike path from a parking lot or practically a drive-by to a cemetery detective.
or
Harder if you want to take a bike ride and do one or two other boxes we planted on the CCRT the same day, The Scooter Boy letterbox is 1.2 miles north and The Triker letterbox at 5.6 miles north of the CCRT entrance from the Nickerson Park parking lot (and restrooms) by the odometer on Tweety’s bike. The Wellfleet end of the CCRT is 13 miles north of Nickerson.
Driving directions:
To take a half mile walk to the box:
The box is near the outer end of the Cape Cod Rail Trail in Wellfleet. The outermost lot is just off Rt 6 on LeCount Hollow Road which is a right after Rt 6 crosses Blackfish Creek.
To ride the Cape Cod Rail Trail:
There are a variety of places to park the car and take to the bike, skates, feet, wheelchair, scooter, etc. We usually park at Nickerson State Park. This is about the midpoint of the (now) approximately 25 mile long CCRT. If the lot here next to park entrance is full, there is an overflow lot a short distance south, in fact there is a bike rental place there.
Another good place to park is at what is (as of this writing ) the north end of the CCRT in Wellfleet. This lot is just off Rt 6 at the start of LeCount Hollow Road which is just after Rt 6 crosses Blackfish Creek. The southern terminus of the CCRT is currently at Rt.134 in Dennis. That’s about 11 miles or so south of Nickerson on the path. There are lots of other parking places at points where roads cross the CCRT.
Directions to the box:
From the Wellfleet partking lot walk about one half mile till you see the Gestalt International Study Institute buildings on your right and look for the first paved road that reaches (well, almost, within a few feet) to the bike path pavement. Looking down this road see a cemetery (South Wellfleet Cemetery) just to your left. Head up the dirt road behind the cemetery. As you come abreast of the second stone post for the cemetary fence turn to your left and check out the base of a pitch pine about three steps off the dirt road.
