I finally finished the Kimball Library Letterbook and it was hidden
this morning. I think a couple of local letterboxers will be
searching for it this afternoon.
The clues can be accessed form the Letterbox USA map, at Randolph,
Vermont, or at
http://www.pclink.com/elf/randolph.htm#kimball
I thank the people who gave me feedback on the clues over the past
few weeks - that was very helpful. My hat is off to Deborah, who
solved all the clues the first week-end the preview page was up! She
and I have figured out a way for her to complete the quest without
travelling to Vermont. I would be glad to help anyone else who might
want to give this a try (including sending the easier sets of clues).
Happy New Year to you all.

When I put out the Kimball Library letterbook last December, there
was a limited response: one person wrote that the clues were too
intimidating, another solved it in a very short time. That was made
possible by my sending to her copies of the actual items she would
have been finding in her hunt in the library.
Another person has recently shown interest in solving the puzzle (has
solved most of it already) and so I have made the whole puzzle
solvable on-line.
If you are interested, you may see it at

Congratulations to John De Wolf, who is the third letterbox to
discover the hiding location of the Kimball Library Letterbook. And
like Deborah, who also solved the puzzles on-line, he did it at
lightening speed.
John, you de wolf!

LOL!
Congratulations, John!
This one isn't in my official quotient, of course, but it was
great fun!

"The Gilded One")
