Hedwig is the name of Harry Potter's owl in the fictional series of books and films. Though she functions as his courier, she is much more to Harry. This box is dedicated to her and can be found in the Arlington Recreation Park. Arlington is a bit of real New England, with covered bridges, grazing black-and-white Holsteins, working sugarhouses, colonial architecture, and a grand section of a famous fly-fishing river, the Battenkill, which borders this park.

Directions:

In Arlington, go about 1 mile north of Rt 313 on Rt 7A and turn left into Arlington Recreation Park.

Clues:

Walk north to the playground and find the dirt path heading west along the river. Continue along the path by the river, ignoring paths to the left, until you come to station #10. From that sign, continue 85 steps to where the path completes a big curve left. Look left for a multi-trunk tree 6 steps off trail. The camo letterbox is within, covered by a rock, sticks and leaves. Please re-cover well.

NOTE: Always take adequate precautions (such as prodding with a stick and/or wearing gloves) before reaching into dark crevasses and holes in the wild. Before you set out read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
