PAX Letterbox Clues

The troubles of the day are sufficient unto themselves.

* Beginning point is the gravel parking lot at Turner’s Pond, on Central Avenue in Milton, Mass, just opposite Hinckley Road.

* Take the path away from the lot that follows a row of large pine trees.

* About an tenth of a mile down this path, you will see a 10 foot tall hollow stump, a tree killed when a wire fence cut into it – you can see the marks around the trunk. Keep going, you are fine.

* 15 short paces after the hollow stump, you will notice a small path off to the right, with an uprooted tree near the entrance from the main path. You can see a row of large boulders, probably boundary markers or the remains of an old stone fence. The boulders make a neat corner.

* The eighth boulder from the left side (the edge of the corner), between 8 and 9, you will find what you are looking for!

! Always poke into hidden spaces with a stick before reaching in with your hand! Remember to watch out for poison ivy, too! There was none here today, but it may grow later.

! Be discreet. Lots of Muggles in the area.

! Please carefully reseal and hide as you found it.

! If the contents are damaged, or the box is empty or gone, please call 617-698-3075.
