We placed the box here as one of the closest public access areas to "our" cottage across the lake at Bungalo Village. Bungalo Village was a cottage resort located on West Shore Road in beautiful Bristol, New Hampshire. Mr. RFD's great grandparents discovered this area for vacation in the mid 1920s and so far 4 generations of his family have held this place as their second home for almost a century. Mr. RFD is the latest generation of his family to faithfully return here; we've been coming together since 2002. The Village was sold by the Thompson family once they retired in 2008; the area is now the Newfound Sands Association. Thankfully, some of the individual cottage owners continue to allow us to return here. The stamp is a representation of Bungalo Village's mascot, a playful baby raccoon.
Now, to find your piece of a Newfound Lake legend:
Start at Grey Rocks Conservation Area near 187 North Shore Road in Hebron, NH (diagonally across the lake from West Shore Road in Bristol and Bungalo Village). Walk down the Sandy Point trail, noticing all of the beautiful birches; they are a meaningful tree to us. The path follows a lazy S turn, first turning left, then right, following the water's edge of the former marina. You are welcome to launch a kayak or canoe here. We have paddled in this area and it's a treat. The Newfound Lake Region Association offers Eco-tours by boat from this location. Wave hello to the NH State Police patrol boat if it's moored there.
This is a short, level, easy walk with no bushwacking. Dogs and kids would be at home here.
From the parking are, walk down the main path, passing an old concrete pad with picnic tables on your right. Take the trail to your left, the Sandy Point trail. Keep the water, part of Newfound Lake, directly on your left. Walk down the trail, passing a turnoff for the Flood Plain Trail. Take approximately 65 steps from this intersection (Mr. RFD has long legs) until you see the trail curving right with a small hemlock and a birch on the left. About 8 steps later you will see a 12 sister tree with a two sister just before it. Your box is contained within the 12 sisters. It is very brightly colored so please be sure to re-camouflage it very well when you are done! We placed many sticks and duff to help hide it from view.
The Newfound Lake Region Association has done a fantastic job of maintaining these trails. Feel free to venture to the end of the peninsula to see a beautiful view of Newfound Lake.
This is our first plant in our "second home state." Grey Rocks is a relatively new conservation area, having been a girls' camp and a marina in its' past lives. Please enjoy the box and take good care of it! We only get up here once a year and aren't able to easily maintain it. Enjoy, and Live The Adventure!!!
Hike length: 1 mile
