Searched throughly for boxes 1 and 5 despite the notes saying missing. Came up empty on those. But the others are all in place and in good condition.

Rainy November day ...great time to attempt this series.
Box #1 ... unlucky here ... will retry again
Box #2 ... again, unlucky ... I suspect similar situation as
SherlockMiles commented below for box #5 .. will retry
Box #3 .. unlucky as road construction blocked access to this cemetery ...will try again :)
Box #4 ... FOUND ...yea!
Box #5 ... did not bother to look; for as Sherlock Miles wrote
Box #6 ... Found both "the head" and the Bonus box (dog skeleton); *Butterfly Suzy's add-on box "Oh NO!, I lost my head!" is still here as well

We went looking for these again this year! It was great to find the torso this time! But unfortunately we were unable to find the right leg. :(
We didn't have time to get the head because we had to go get our kids ready for trick or treating!

What a fun, great series. All are fine and in their correct locations except as I will note here. The box where the torso and log are is cracked in several places. We will replace the box next week. In the mean time we put everything into a Ziploc. All of the inks were dried up, so we removed them. Unfortunately we could not find box #5. We spent about 45 minutes looking in and around the wall. We checked the wall for almost 10' on either side of the twisted three sister as well digging through 6-10" of leaves, etc behind the wall. It looks like the maintenance crew has been tossing all of the leaves, needles, etc against the back side of the wall. I fear they may have found the box and tossed it.

We couldn't find the torso! We searched for about an hour but nowhere to be seen. :( totally bummed about that but we did put a hitchhiker in one of the boxes. :)

I really enjoyed this series! The graveyards were really cool and it was interesting to see the really old gravestones from the 1700s and 1800s and the lunettes and other carvings on them. Thanks for a fun afternoon!

This was so fun to piece together! It was so long ago that I found it that I don't remember the trail. lol

Found the right arm by accident a while ago & couldn't find the head (just the bonus) this time but think we need to go back and try a little harder. Thanks for planting this fun series!
