There are now 8 towns/cities left in each county. :-) Think I'll try
again to rule out Essex co, as that's the farthest from me.

I've been away for a few days and although Q12 & Q13 attempt to narrow
down it's location -- I hope The Ephemeral Letterboxer is not once
again taking the questions asked literally (remember the On the trail
question earlier!) IN a town or city is not the same as
IN/NEAR/CLOSEST TO a town or city. We may have missed out by
eliminating A-M towns, when in fact it was near (or closest city is)
C..... D..... or H..... etc. Note that LB.org asks for closest
city for just that reason.

The way Massachusetts is, the letterbox MUST be in some town or city.
There is no "no man's land" in the Commonwealth. I know some states don't
use "towns" much and instead operate on counties, but MA is not like that.
Toooooo crowded. :P
There are several online maps that are good, of the Commonwealth, which show
the boundries.
While LBNA may ask for "nearest," the box must still be located in a
physical boundry...especially as it's buried 5ft from the end of a stone
wall. :-)
