I know there is controversy about the question I'm asking but that is not my intent. I'm trying to find a listing for 'Prayer Rock' box in Bristol, VT. It isn't appearing on AQ or LB. It is hidden by a large rock on Rt. 116 called Bristol Rock that has the Lord's Prayer carved into it. Does anyone know where the listing is? This is a cross post with the VT. board.

I don't know about Prayer Rock, but I've found several in another state that seem to pre-date AQ and LBNA and aren't listed anywhere. Fun stuff to discover!!! ;o)

I’m not asking for clues but how would one find an old box not listed? Just randomly come across it?

I find boxes I dont have clues for, usually when I'm looking for places to plant, but there are lots of boxes here.

Original clue:

From a well known incantation, follow the text 190 feet, as the crow flies towards the water, thence 30 feet upstream to a pile of rocks in the cobble.

The clue was changed when it was replanted

Prayer Rock

I knew one of the 'kings of Ma. boxing' would come thru. I just realized I have my finds hidden on LB and AQ so that is why it didn't come up on the list.....DOH...."slapping my forehead....." Thanks DD

Pass down clues.
Way back machine.
Secret glyphs on the trail.
Using a dowsing stick.

There are a couple dozen sights of personal clues, regional clues, or archived clues.
I am currently in possession of a book of clues that has been passed along leading to a set of boxes by ancient boxers.

Looks to be a good price too.
BUT, no mention of shipping and handling costs. I bet that will bring the price right up there.

Coming from Hawaii, that would be a VERY interesting "slight of hand" trick! I'll accept a clue set in the mail!!! ;o)
