RI, eastern MA: boxes found

Strong to the Finish, Central Falls, RI: In place, dry, and intact.

Wandering Turtle, somewhere in MA: I tested out the clues for
Rustypuff and found them to be correct. Box was in place, dry, and
intact.

Time Travels: Fiendish Things, Blue Hills Reservation, Milton, MA: In
place, dry, and intact.

Hancock Hill, Blue Hills Reservation, Milton, MA: In place, dry, and
intact. In place, that is, if you follow the directions to the
letter. Don't assume the box is on Hancock Hill. It isn't. We
discovered this when we tried to follow the map back to the car from
what we thought was Hancock Hill, and got lost.

We found the above two boxes in the rain. We got soaked, but managed
to keep the boxes and their contents dry.

This American Life / NPR, Boston Public Garden, Boston, MA: In place,
dry, and intact. The Altoids tin, however, is already developing
rusty spots, so we enclosed the whole box in a ziplock bag.

Breakheart Reservation, Breakheart Reservation, Saugus, MA: In place,
dry, and intact.

Kokopelli's Flute, Lynn Woods Reservation, Lynn, MA: The box was
crushed and it's contents strewn. The log was missing, but we found
the stamp. We stamped in on the clue sheet, left it and the stamp in
a new box, and rehid it as best we could.

We'd like to point out that the trailhead is in the SW corner of the
parking lot (not the NW), paces = steps, and "several minutes"
translates to about a minute-and-a-half.

Salem Witch Trials: Briget Bishop, Forest River Park, Salem, MA: The
box was open, but the contents were intact and dry.

Marblehead Rail Trail, Wyman Woods Conservation Area, Marblehead, MA:
In place, dry, and intact.

It's good to see someone else has found this box recently , since
there have been a lot of reports of it being missing . I was
beginning to think people where doubting that we had found it back in
November . Good job ! And Chris , Thanks for the info on The Witches
Alter . Watch for a box coming soon .
