I don't think so - wasn't there an email from someone a few months ago who
placed a few in Manitoba? maybe it was posted on the other list?

Lake Champlain et al

Hi all.
Just got back from a 5 day stay on Lake Champlain. I went up there with
Jerry & Rae (Letterbox on the Knob, Cape Cod).
During our stay we visited 9 sites.
Valcour Island.....both boxes are alive and well. We were the first to stamp
in at Arnolds Gambit and the second at Sloop Bay.
Crown Point is well, as are Fort Carillon (Ticonderoga) and Fort William
Henry [which gets my vote for the most outrageous location for a letterbox].
The two on Long Trail and Prayer Rock have new stampers too.
We tried to get to Butler Island, but gave up after swamping our kayaks
twice (white caps and all that).
The box at the Whales Tails may be located in an area that has not been
cleared in at least a year [assuming the 5 blue spouts are associated with
aerobic exercising], and we could not find it.
We also placed "companion boxes", one in the US and one in Canada. Rae is
writing a story, similar to the Knob Letterbox which will be appearing
shortly. Does anyone know if this is the first Canadian letterbox.
We had a great time, and now that there are two new boxes up there, we will
have to return.

It is not, so I was told a couple of years ago from a source
I consider reliable, but I have no further evidence other than
correspondence to back that claim up.

Fred,
This sounds like a great LB trip! Glad to hear reports on all these
northern boxes. I do believe you are the first to place a box in
Canada. Way to go!
