The closest parking for this letterbox is at the end of Spring
Street. The coordinates above will take you to a popular clearing
in the Pogonip, where the original Spring Trail Stamp Letterbox was
hidden. From this location, keep going further North on Spring
Trail, for about 300 feet, where you will see a low black stone
wall along the lower side. On the opposite side of the trail
is an alcove made from a cliff of black stone forming a high
natural wall. Look along the natural stone wall crevices to find
this small letterbox hidden by 2 flat stones. It is above eye
level, and easy to guess the hiding spot from the trail. There are
hints below if you need them.
Inside the letterbox is the Spring Trail rubber stamp, stamp pad,
logbook, mini clipboard with paper to use if you don't have your
own letterbox book, and a pencil or pen. PLEASE LEAVE ALL OF THESE
ITEMS IN THE CACHE AND REHIDE AS FOUND so it is not spotted by
muggles.
What you are supposed to do:
- In the logbook inside the letterbox, identify yourself and the
date of your find. Include with your entry your personal
rubber-stamped impression, sticker, doodle OR a poem about the
season you are visiting.
- Stamp your personal letterbox logbook, or journal, with
the rubber stamp you find in the cache OR take one of the
pre-stamped impressions from the mini clipboard to put in your
personal letterboxing journal later.
- PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE TRADE ITEMS IN THE LETTERBOX. There is not
much room for extra stuff.
- If the logbook becomes full or stamp pad becomes empty, etc. let
us know in your online log or by email and we will come to replace
it.
Thank you and enjoy the Four Seasons!!!

SPRING SONG
Singing liquid notes In the green bud tree
A willow warbler welcomes the sun on the old wall
Its song melts away the long grey winter
Sing of sweet hope
Let no late frost stop its trilling throat
