I had similar thoughts about a recent hiking death near Grants Pass,
OR (I apologize for the constant comments about Oregon but it's
fairly close to where most of my Northern California letterboxes
are, relatively speaking)--there was a recent report about a lady
who fell and died along the trail to Rainie Falls in Hellgate Canyon
last weekend). There is a letterbox along the often quite steep
trail and when I read it I instantly wondered if that group was out
letterboxing there as that particular trail is in a fairly remote
area. Who knows? Scary, nonetheless!
**I also have a big request for any Northern, Northern California
letterboxer. I would like to permanently remove one of my
letterboxes in the Whiskey Series up near Redding (thus making the
series a single letterbox trek). The clue is at:

I've reconsidered the hiding spot as it may have similar
consequences as the subject of this post. The stamp really sucks,
too--so it's no big loss to the letterboxing community. So, if
anybody happens to be headed up to this area anytime soon (the
sooner the better), please let me know if you find this letterbox
and whether you removed it. Whoever removes it will have first dibs
on a free cool letterboxing container for a future letterbox he/she
might place. I'd just 'kill' this box myself but I don't see
anytime in the near future that I'm able to return to this spot (the
hazards of long distance letterbox planting). Thanks in advance,
