We had a great gathering at Wildcat Canyon last year, and it should have several good boxes to find there - there is a nice 6.5 mile loop if you like long hikes.

Otherwise, Huckleberry, Redwood and Sibley are all lovely places (they are all in a row up there in the hills) with intact boxes. The boxes at Kennedy Grove need maintenance - we had that gathering 6 years ago and many are missing at this time.

If you are in Oakland, Zachary's Pizza on College Ave (there's also one on Solano in Berkeley) is a memorable stop.

I would seriously look at the some of the last found dates, especially Kennedy Grove since I believe some of them haven't been found for some time. If time is limited, I would check ALL the last found dates so as to not wait valuable time.

Just my two cents.

Other comments:

- I HIGHLY recommend Fish Ranch
- I'm not sure if you can actually walk the Mermaid ones - I used my car :-)
- Several of the Redwood/Sibley/Huckleberry boxes overlap
- I might want to join you if you do Under the See - haven't gotten that series yet!

-- Princess Lea

Yes, we do consider that. However we've been boxing for almost 6 years and
several times have found boxes that have been "attempted" by others. We
also get a kick out of finding a box that hasn't been found in a long time.
On the other hand, if a box is KNOWN to be missing, then we will skip it.
We assume most planters update their clues accordingly to show status, but
know that some have become inactive in the hobby and may not be updating
their clues/status.
