Seacoast, NH Letterboxes
The NH Seacoast is the vicinity of Hampton and Portsmouth, NH. The edges blur between towns, so locals usually just call it “the Seacoast.”
When I carved my first Seacoast-related letterbox stamps, I didn’t realize that others had used that same name for their stamps and letterboxes, too.
However, a stamp is a stamp, so–when I planted them–some of mine bore the name “Seacoast.”
Seacoast1 Letterbox
This box was planted in 2002, and — according to visitors in 2009 — it’s still on the trail. The logbook has been replaced at least three times, but the box remains one of my most popular, ever.
This letterbox is on the trail to an earlier (and, frankly, far better) drewclan letterbox. It’s at Odiorne Point Science Center park, and you’ll pass my box if you’re on the winding path to the drewclan letterbox.
Mine is tucked beneath a large boulder near the arched entrance to bunkers.
I’ll restore the clues here, later. For now, they’re at several websites, including Letterboxing.Org.
And, in case you’re trying to figure it out, the stamp is supposed to show a lighthouse.
Odiorne Point Science Center park is an ideal spot for hiking, birdwatching, or letterboxing.
Seacoast2 Letterbox – Missing
This stamp–now missing–was at the Urban Forestry Center, not far from where Yoken’s was, in Portsmouth, NH.
It was hidding inside an old tree. About a year after I planted the letterbox, the tree was cut down and the letterbox seems to have vanished with it.
It was an ideal location for letterboxing, but the mosquitoes can be ferocious during a warm, damp year.
IMPORTANT: Before letterboxing, please read this waiver from Letterboxing North America
