"Oh, by the way, is there any chance that the town of Mansfield could be moved closer to Shelton? I keep reading jealously about these boxes of the month. Wait, is that anywhere near Scotland? My husband wants to go to a tool museum in Scotland. Hmmm..."

~Scotland is not very far from Mansfield at all. It woud be very easy to make a day, or many more, of letterboxing in Mansfield. If you got to Scotland, you should stop in the general store. They have delicious grinders/sandwiches.

Flutterby~

P.S. The next round of these boxes will be a little closer to you-New London county anyhow.

It's about 10 miles, 20 minutes of driving on really pretty roads. I've never been to the museum, just checked the website. Looks kind of neat!

My husband is sooo into handtools. I've been using his wood microcarving set for carving stamps. Recently someone posted a link to a sharpening kit for small gouges and I showed it to him. He says "Oh, I already have that." What!!?? All this time and he never told me?? So he showed me how to use the sharpener and all the theory behind it. Guess I owe him a trip up to the tool museum!I told my husband maybe I would drop off a letterbox nearby for the tool museum with a carving of a hand tool. Gee, what type of handtool might a letterboxer carve? :-DD

LOL, I look forward to finding that! My husband hasn't ever been there which surprised me. Now that I've asked him about it, he is planning to soon. So we may even see you there!
