Ants Go Marching Letterbox
Rating: Moderate
Planted 9/29/02 by Kyle & Catherine
This series is made up of ten boxes: a normal size box for the first
and last boxes, and eight microboxes without ink in between. We ask
that you please take an ink pad from the first box with you on the
trail and return it to the first box when you are done. The last box
is the only one with a log book, making this count as only one find,
not ten.

Oops! We forgot to mention that this box is in Hampton (Windham
County), Connecticut. Sorry about that.
