674. Wanda's Wanda-rings: Maine Trails
Bennett's Place, ME
Drive-by along Maine's western border for a cute carving by teacup

This clever little footstep stamp was created by teacup of ME to represent my backpacking adventures throughout Maine, but I planted it just over the border from NH in the Evans Notch Maine portion of the Whites to make it accessible to find at the same time as the NH Trails box. For this Maine Trails box, simply go about one mile south from the Cold River/Basin Rec Area on route 113 and turn east on gravel Stone House Road to the turnaround parking area at its end. From the kiosk there, take about 8 steps south along the stone wall to its end and carefully walk around that end to find a small triangular-shaped cave between a mossy tilted rock and a chunk of cement with a piece of metal sticking out of it. There on the left side of the cave behind a whitish stone should be a small brown cylinder with some boot prints for Maine! Sorry we were in a hurry with planting, but I do have some great memories of hiking in this area, including a snowy winter climb and camp on nearby Blueberry Hill, so take some time to explore if you can!
