Hi,
I've just planted two new letterboxes near my favorite "haunted" cemetery,
Gilson Road Cemetery, in Nashua, NH.
The clues are at http://www.aisling.net/lb/NH/gilsonclues.htm
I'll add a few photos tomorrow, to make your hunting as easy on the
environment as possible.
(And yes, those are supposed to be headstones in the carvings. They aren't
fabulous designs, but hey, they're handcarved. *grin and shrug*)
Cheerfully,
Ais

Hi,
Today, I added photos, so you can see what you're looking for. My intent
isn't to make it ultra-easy to find the two treasures, but to ensure that
nobody goes digging or taking apart stone walls.
Most letterboxers are responsible and use common sense when pursuing this
hobby.
However, for those who--in the thrill of the hunt--can forget that Nature
and history have fragile aspects, I'm hoping the photos will prevent
frantically looking in the wrong places.
I'm having SO much fun!
Cheerfully,
Ais

My grandson and I visited both the Gilson Road boxes about noon
today...obviously the first ones to stamp these books. Both boxes are in
interesting locations..I am new to letterboxing having started a few weeks
ago on the Big Island of Hawaii (Puako Petroglyph Park), then last Saturday
with my seven year old grandson in Pasadena, CA (Millard Falls Park), and
now the two boxes closest to our home in South Nashua at Gilson Road with
my youngest grandson (age 4)...We had a great time...He loved it and can't
wait for our next excursion. I need to carve better stamps than the ones
we have now.....Yours are terrific....The pleasure of letterboxing is
discovery and sharing. Thank you for reminding me what a lovely area
Gilson Road is despite its history as a superfund site....
Happily

Hi,
I'm thrilled that my letterboxes have been visited
so quickly, Clement & Jonathan, and that you're introduced to letterboxing
now!
For those who've asked--including the always-lovely
Butterfly lady--Gilson Road Cemetery is in Nashua. It's not named for the
town of Gilson, but for the members of the Gilson family who lived and are
buried on the rural side of Nashua. (And yes, those who know the superfund
history are probably as aghast as I am at the house prices in that new
subdivision! *chuckle and sigh*)
I'll be planting more letterboxes in this area,
since we have many wonderful areas for hiking in and near Nashua. I love
letterboxing!
Cheerfully,
Ais
