I recently went to a couple of boxes near Wrentham, MA and followed
the clues through two different, beautiful cemetaries. I had a
wonderful sense of history, sat and looked at some headstones that
were loving pieces of art, and felt at peace being in such
beautiful places. One of the boxes was a memorial to a friend who
died way before his time, and we paid our respects at his grave
before following the clues that lead to the other side of the
graveyard to a spot under a tree away from the gravesites. I bet it
gave the placer a great feeling to be close to their friend again.
The other site was from the 1600's and was fascinating to read the
inscriptions that weren't worn away. I would definitely feel
different about boxing and having to move headstones, however!
