Yeehaw, by my count, we've got this down to 5 towns!!! :-)
Someone double check me, is this right?
Natick
Newton
Sherborn
Shirley
Sudbury
6 questions left
Q15 narrow it to 2 or 3
Q 16 narrow to 2 or pinpoint
Q17 pinpoint town or start asking specifics
Q18, 19, 20 . specifics
Let's start thinking ahead to specifics....what kind of places do we need to
ask about within a town? "The box is five feet from the end of a stone
wall under three
relatively flat rocks."
Stone walls are..
In parks/woods trails
Around cemeteries
Around yards
Town monuments
Once we get it narrowed down to a town..do we consider parks/trails first?
Or take a potshot at streets (i.e. A-L)? Being a paramedic, I have map
books for every town in the state, can easily pull a list of streets
together. :-)

Regarding specifics...
The question of "which street" I think gives us too broad of an area,
and could lead us astray, especially if it's located in a park or
natural area. I'm thinking of picking a landmark in the town/city,
then asking is it within "x" miles of that landmark. Or in a
village, or particular section of the town (boundaries defined). It
really depends on which town. We might try GPS coordinate question?
I'm pulling for Shirley, the town closest to me! :)

Hehehehe...the only thing I know about Shirley is "Shirley supermax prison."
Taken a few lovely people out there..talk about lock down! Thankfully,
I'm guessing the box is not there. :P
Another way to do it within a town is to choose a road that bisects that
town and work from there.

I've been looking at an online map that also includes "Southborough" in
Middlesex County. I'm just a simple Hoosier, but did I miss this area
from being excluded? Or is this area known as something else?
Otherwise I have the 5 areas also still in the mix.

Worcester county. :-)

Wow, that's interesting! I was using the map of Middlesex County from
this site:
http://www.worcestermass.com/pronounce/middlesexcounty.shtml
It would be nice to have a clarification from Ephemeral Boxer, if it
changes the outcome.

On that same site is a map for Worcester County:
http://www.worcestermass.com/pronounce/worcestercounty.shtml
It also lists Southborough. This is not an official state site. The
official site lists southborough in Worcester County.
