DE: Box Status - Serendipity's Sister

From: SpringChick (springchick@letterbox-mi.com) | Date: 2003-05-26 02:32:51 UTC
My Delaware mystery box, Serendipity's Sister, appears to be
missing. CSCM and RustyPuff were recently there and it sounds as
though they were in the right spot, but no box. It is likely that
whomever has been cleaning up the place found the box and removed it.

I doubt that I will be replacing this box, at least not in
Delaware... I may carve up a similar stamp and place it in
Michigan. I am finding that placing boxes while on vacation is not
as good an idea as I had thought. Just no easy way to keep up with
the box and what is happening in the area. I now understand why the
geo-caching rules do not allow this.

MAYBE the box is still there. We found it last Thanksgiving weekend
after going over and over and over the same spot, not to mention
checking out several alternative spots. We couldn't believe it when
we finally found it. It was right there where it made the most sense,
right under our noses the whole time. That box is well hidden, if
somewhat precariously. The grass was short when we went, with no
surrounding shrubbery. That was a good box so we hope it's still
there. We'll check next time we go that way, which might be next
Thanksgiving.
