I took a walk through Peace Valley Park this morning and I was also
unable to find the The Might Oak box. I found this box back in
March of 2002, so I was in the right place. Last year, I found the
box right away once I was in the right location; however, after 20
minutes to looking around, I gave up.
Perhaps Muk-Luk (the box planter) will get a chance to verify the
status of the box and decide whether to mark it missing or not.
