**As of 7/27/15, this box has been retired.**

The box of the month series for 2015 has started! The ridiculous amount of snow cover is making it a little tricky around here, but the sixth box is planted!

This year I will be planting the box in different cemeteries and historic places around Lebanon-just to keep it interesting. Be sure to check the location EACH month as I will not be planting in the same spot.

In finding these wonderful letterboxes, you will get to see gorgeous creations from all over the US. Please take extra special care of them as they have many more stops to make before they head home.

So, to find the sixth box in this series, head to Liberty Hill Cemetery on Trumbull Highway/Route 87. This is on the the right if you are headed East.
Park off the road in front of the cemetery, and face it. There is lots of history, and boxes, here if you care to look around.
Walk through the, generally open, iron gate and stop.
Turn left and walk ~34 steps along the wall.
Stop. Look left, and low in the wall to find the gorgeous Komainu, Japanese Foo Dog letterbox by Seekers Two of Littleton, CO.
Please tuck it back in securely when you are done.

Thanks,
Flutterby
