This letterbox is box number seven of a series of fifteen 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 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:

Alpine Move

If you were going to host a reunion,
With the name CROTALIDAE
And your last name was Crotalus,
And your first name was Horidus,
Where would this party be?

My home is here in a large boulder with stairs. These stairs are just
fine for me, but not fit for two legged folk. I am guarded by two
tall sentries that divide my home. I like to sleep at their feet in
my nook with its neat triangular door.

You may find the information in the Bolton Trail Guide
(http://www.boltonconservationtrust.org/Trails/Guide/TrailGuide.htm)
helpful (and necessary if you are from out of town) in solving this puzzle.
