Brandywine Park Lb is missing. The clues are perfect - found the tree, the
pile of rocks behind it - but no box. I don't know what the etiquette is on
this but it was such a splendid place, we replaced it with a box I happened
to have with me. The stamp is not appropriate (planned to place it in
Lancaster Co., PA) but at least there's a box.
I haven't posted this to the list yet but plan to call it "Brandywine Park
Redoux" if you say it's OK.

I did this once after searching for a box in Central New York that had been
reported missing on list a few times. I carved a stamp especially for the
possibility of not finding it, though, and called it "Imposter #1."

I figured that if we found the original box where it should be, I'd just
save the stamp for a future similar situation. We didn't find the box after
a *very* thorough search, so I left mine in the place we first thought the
box should be. The clues to the original box (Bus Driver's) are still on
the site, with my clues listed as a separate box.
No one's reported finding the Bus Driver's box since I tried. I've heard
second-hand that at least a few people have found my replacement box,
though (I live too far away to go back and check for myself).
If the original Brandywine Park LB somehow reappears, then your box will be
a bonus!
