This letterbox is box number six of a series of letterboxes
placed by Elizabeth Bagdonas and Judy Loether and originally published
in the Bolton Common, Bolton, Massachusetts' local newspaper, during
the summer of 2000. These boxes are now maintained by a local group
of letterboxers and the clues to this series are now being made
available to the Internet community.

Part of the inspiration of the original series was to introduce locals
to the wonderful resources of the conservation lands in their area.
Since the original focus for these letterboxes was the local community
several of the clues have "local references", we have made minor
modifications to the original clues to correct for changes that have
taken place in the local conditions but have attempted to preserve the
challenge and creativity found in the original clues. We hope you
take up this challenge and use the resources available to you on the
Internet and elsewhere to solve the riddles and stamp in.

Clues:

Boxer's Boggle

May one small corner be,
A place where one can see
A hint of olden days,
Where Bolton once found ways
To see the dismal wet
To brilliant color set.

Two giants guard the land,
Now, close between them stand:
195 degrees
Through forked red maple tree;
When you are near the brook,
For broken giant look.

You may find the information in the Bolton Trail Guide (http://www.boltonconservationtrust.org/Trails/Guide/TrailGuide.htm) helpful in solving this puzzle.
