To find this letterbox, you must solve the puzzle of the "Graveyard Shift". Along the way you will be given clues to help you fill in the four blank spaces below which will reveal a secret code to help you to find the hidden prize.


___ ___ ___ ___
*1* *2* *3* *4*



**You will need a compass. There is no ink pad in this letterbox, be sure to bring your own**


Clues:

The box can be found at Saint Augustine Cemetery on Hopewell Road in Glastonbury. Drive into either entrance and park anywhere near the middle. Make your way to the conspicuous "MONZEGLIO" boulder between the two large trees in the center of the yard.

With your back to the boulder, at a bearing of approximately 350 degrees, you will see a cross inlaid with many small stones. Go to it. Just beyond it, there is a gray tombstone with a smaller cross on the top. Go around and find the single letter at the top of the grave. This will be the first letter in the puzzle.

From this grave, at a bearing of 275, you will see a black tombstone standing out among several gray and white ones. Go to this grave.

Mr. Cropley and his wife shared only one common letter of their first names. Find it to reveal your second letter.

From here, continue your bearing of 275 and again you will see a black tombstone standing out. Go to this grave and look to your left to find the "TRUST" family. Ann's middle initial is the third letter you seek.

Facing Ann's grave, turn left and head towards the corner of the cemetery. Here you will find three in silent prayer. Just to their right (if you are facing them) are three stones similar to each other in shape and size, showing three different family names. There is only one letter common in all three names. Find that letter for the fourth piece of the puzzle.

Now you should have all the letters to the puzzle. Standing directly in front of the middle grave, travel at a bearing of approximately 25 degrees, walking straight down the row, until you come to a thick tombstone, rough around the edges.

Find the third letter in the name. This will give you a general direction to look in.

You should see the solution has become apparent.

The box is behind the family stone on the left side.
