(RETIRED) Chebeague Island Letterboxes

Unfortunately, we have discovered that two of our Chebeague Island boxes have been vandalized and destroyed. What a bummer. Whomever found one box (by accident?) must have come to the website to figure out how to find the others. Shame on them! We have decided to retire this series, but since we put a lot of time into the clues we're leaving them online for posterity's sake.

There are two ferries that will get to you Chebeague Island, ME. The Casco Bay Ferry Lines run out of Portland, ME and land at Chandler's Cove, near box A on the map below. The Chebeague Transportation Company runs a ferry out of Cousin's Island to the Stone Pier on the northwest end of the island, near box D.

The island is 5 miles long and 3 miles wide, and a whole day can easily be spent enjoying the island, its people, and its views. Bring your bikes and stop at Ed's Market for lunch or enjoy a drink on the porch of the Inn.

Click on the map and letters below to print clues to the four boxes in this series. Please note that you will need to consult a tide chart if you want to reach box C by foot.
