I always take my camera when boxing for two reasons:  one is that I like to take pictures of the areas where I find boxes to keep in the logbook/scrapbook I keep my finds in.  Second is that I have often pretended to be taking pictures just as you did to kill time while waiting for people to clear out of an area.  At least that way I don't look like some idiot standing around suspiciously!

My wife and I went out to find some boxes here in the LA area yesterday.  Here's the skinny on what we found :

 

Descanso Garden - Feather Falls - Alive and well. If you are planning to look for this one, we recommend doing it now.  All of the Camellias are in bloom.

Descanso Garden - Camellia Forest - Alive and well.

Descanso Garden - Chaparral Trail - Alive and well.

Descanso Garden - Enchanted Garden Railroad Bonus Box - Alive and well

 

Eaton Canyon - Alive and well.  We had a little trouble finding it by following the clues but I was able to use the Force to discern the location (i.e. I looked around and saw a tree that looked like the one described...)

Eaton Canyon Hummingbird - Alive and well.  This one tried my wife's patience.  She doesn't have a great sense of balance so all the stream crossings while trying to find the trail were not fun to her.  The falls at the end of the hike were worth it but the area is pretty well trafficked and the location where the box is hidden is visible to people headed to the falls.  People kept looking up at me as I was sitting by the box location waiting for the crowds to die down so I could get it.  I ended up pretending that my GPS receiver was a camera and that I was trying to take a picture.  It WORKED!  I even had one woman move behind a rock so she wouldn't be in my picture!!!  I'm planning on bringing a camera on all my hunts from now on!!
