1062. Keep on "Truckin" through the Piney Woods
A short stroll from fields to pines in Charlestown, RI

Have you ever found a letterbox that was missing its stamp, and just happened to have a spare one with you that you could put in as a temporary replacement? That has certainly happened to us on a few occasions, and we were tickled, when checking one of our older boxes at South Farm, to find that someone else had left a spare stamp there when they found ours was missing! We think it must have been some of our "letterboxing neighbors' from over the border in CT, so thanks, guys, for the extra stamp, which we decided to move a bit further down the trail, after retiring that other box, to give folks a chance to see a little more of the area.

So, to find where this little red truck with its haul of Christmas trees ended up, just head on down from the parking lot past the old sheep barn and into the south field. At its southernmost end, enter the second piney trail that is marked with a "no horses'sign. It starts out yellow-blazed, but then becomes blue-blazed. Just at the end of a long mossy log paralleling the trail on the left is a pine with both yellow and blue paint markings on the right. From it, take about two dozen steps more along the trail to just where the main trail starts to curve right. Here take another dozen steps off trail left, passing a mossy stump on the right, to find where we left the truck in a small black pouch at the far end of an old lichen-covered log, under needles and a small log!
