I'm going to admit my ignorance of California geography, and ask for suggestions of boxes to check out around Big Sur. Robb and I may be headed down that way in a few weeks. Thanks Lisascenic

Paul and Mom should get Oscars

Started by (Doublesaj@aol.com) | 1 message | First message: 2005-10-12
After reading about the lengths to which Mimulus and Paul from SF went through to be discreet about replacing their found boxes, all this talk about Oscars got me thinking. . . THEY should each get...

Thanks, Paul! You inspired me! I planted a box not too far away from your latest. LBers may want to drive to this box once they complete Ortus' hair-raising hike. If you want a really decent hike,...

I also have a flea circus box in the making. I hope it doesn't step on the concept of the existing flea circus box. If you know me & my boxes, it's got a very unusual twist & format to it. Expect...
