This letterbox is box number nine 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 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.
