Over the long cold winter, you might want to sit down and carve a box
for a buddy :)

I am having a gathering in April, and I plan on planting 3 series for it.
The First will be at my house, right next to Sudbury Valley Trustees
connecting by a trail
Probably a Farm theme for this one. It could stay in place as a WOM
after the event.

The Second will be at the SVT headquarters.
Nature and Conservation themes great

The Third will be at King Philip's woods. These will have to be WOM
because of the fact that the gathering is being held on SVT property
they want me to get permission. I don't know if I can, or want to,
because if I did go ask, then all my boxes might have to be pulled!
The place is called: King Philip's Woods and here is their description:

The abandoned Old Berlin Road, historically an important stagecoach road
from Boston to Lancaster, is now a dirt road running through the upland
side of the parcel from Water Row to Old Sudbury Road. A short distance
in from Water Row, on the right of Old Berlin Road, you will see the
foundation of an old tavern. This was a 2'/2 story structure about the
size of the Wayside Inn. It was here that the stagecoaches stopped to
renew both man and beast before continuing their journey. It became a
popular spot in the middle of the 18th century for certain unsavory
"Gentlemen of the Road~ namely highwaymen and horse thieves who were
led by the notorious Captain Lightfoot. The Captain and his friends had
plied their trade on the highways of England too successfully and for
reasons of personal health were forced to leave their native land.
Subsequently it was noticed that several travelers who left by stage for
Lancaster failed to arrive at their destination, and warnings were
posted advising travelers of the hazards of stage travel. With suspicion
leveled at it, the tavern became unpopular as a stopping place and
gradually fell into disrepair. A later owner investigating a stone in
the basement unearthed 13 skeletons apparently the unfortunate
travelers who never made it to Lancaster. Some have said that when the
moon is over the river and the mist creeps in, if you listen carefully
you can hear the stagecoach rolling along and who knows maybe even a
hoarse voice calling "stand and deliver.

On April 21, 1676, Sudbury, Lancaster, and Marlborough were burned to
the ground by marauding Native Americans under the command of the
Wampanoag Chief, King Philip. A feeling of impending crisis sent the
Sudbury settlers to their six garrison houses. By 6:00 a.m. that fateful
day, a force of 1,000 to 1,500 Native Americans under King Philip
infiltrated the woods, burned the isolated farmhouses, and attacked the
garrisons. None of the garrison houses remain today, but the foundation
of the Haynes Garrison House can be seen on the adjacent town-owned
parcel. It was to the Haynes Garrison House that the two Concord
survivors of the Native American massacre at the Four-Arch Bridge (at
the Sudbury River in Wayland) fled for refuge. Here, the defenders
showed such courage and fierce determination to defend their homes, that
by 1:00 p.m., the Native Americans gave up and faded into the woods.
Perhaps the increasing frequency of musket fire from the direction of
Green Hill drew the discouraged Native Americans over Goodman Hill to
the main engagement. There, King Philip and his warriors finally
overwhelmed the colonials that afternoon, but failed to consolidate
their victory and began the slow descent into final defeat of the Native
American peoples in southern New England.

I already have 4 boxes here, my Yggdrasil series, but there are lots of
nooks and crannies!
