The Quest series missing stamp (Mansfield Center, CT)

*I apologize for posting this to the national list, but as it
concerns a box in Mansfield Center, CT, it might be relevant to out-
of-towners.*

On October 4, I received a tip from a boxer I met on the trail that
box #4 in my The Quest series was empty. I went by to have a look.
Sure enough, the box was placed carefully in its proper spot,
completely hidden, but the stamp and logbook were gone.

I have adjusted the clues online to reflect this, and will be working
on a new stamp in the next couple of weeks to replace the one that
was lost. It occurs to me, however, that there's an outside chance
(since the box was properly replaced with apparent care) that a boxer
may have inadvertently stuffed the stamp and logbook baggie into
their backpack along with their own things. If anyone has been to
that box recently and discovers the Knight stowing away among their
things, please contact me off-list at hodsthorn@hotmail.com.

In the meantime, anyone coming to Mansfield Center for the MMM will
want to adjust their clues for the Quest, which is alongside a series
of Mash boxes.

Thanks!
H.
