Looks like no one has found box 5 in a while, but it is there and in good condition! But there is a very misleading three-sister stump in the area which really looks like it ought to be the hiding spot… and isn’t. The correct one isn’t a three sister at first glance.

Looks like Dawson road is now chained off and inaccessible where it starts at Oleans

No hooligans today at the power lines, so we found the last box to complete the series. Thanks!

A great hike with excellently-chosen hiding spots. Box #4 was a bit wet, so we dried out as best we could. Definitely quite rocky, so bring trekking poles if you have them!

Box #5- the 'tree' has fallen across the trail and into the lake. You can still sit on it, tho. It took me 1.5 years to finish this series.

Took a while to find #2. Couldn't see a bicycle and there are plenty of mountain laurel and poles to choose from. We were about to give up when we walked by the right spot and found the box. Also, for the last box there are two birch trees down across the path now, so if you get to the 2nd one you have gone too far. Lastly, the trails are very rocky. This can be difficult for someone with bad knees or arthritis such as myself. So just keep that in mind before you head out. I left some blood on the trail from a fall but I did finish and liked the area. I thought it was very peaceful.

We really enjoyed this walk, but will have to come back for #2. There was a group of hooligans hanging out on the power lines close to the box location. So we saved that one for another day.

Wonderful to find such a lovely trail in the city of Worcester. "Primitive" images were a great concept for a beginning carver. You executed well.

Had a little trouble with box 2. Despite finding bicycle and mountain laurel we had a little trouble finding where two "walls" meet. Once we figured out the "corner" we were all set. Snacked on wild low bush blueberries and saw some pretty wildflowers here.

All in all a very successful letterboxing adventure. Thanks!
