Clues Question

From: (caseynmarj@yahoo.com) | Date: 2000-10-03 21:05:31 UTC
Ok, I've started gathering my materials for my box. I have a stamp
to finish carving then I'll be hidding my box. But I noticed that it
seems as though everyone involved in this has a website. Is this
something I should considering having to place my clues or
information?
Also when it comes to searching for the boxes I noticed it's a bit of
fun treasure hunt. Can I make the hunt for my box easy? or Even
creatively fun? I was kinda considering making Family boxes...easy
to get to w/ your children? I dunno. Does that sound stupid? I
can't wait to get out there and search for one!

Thank you for your answers in advance....
Marjorie

Not to worry.... no such thing as a stupid question...   and pretty much yes to all of your question. It's up to you. make them as easy or hard as you like.  Start out basic/easy and work up from there.    No, you do not have to have a web page. As the webmaster for the south east and mid atlantic states, we can link to the eGroup message posting your clues, or as I just did for Virginia Beach, just took their text and put it on a generic LbNA page on our site...... Up to you
 
Go for it and have fun....  been said before     "if you hid it, they will come"

You can post it on the web, also give a paper copy to EMS in the Crystal
Mall. I did a great letterbox appropriate for pre-schoolers but fun for
Senior Citizens. The only problem was that one of the boxes was to in
the open and some kids ruined it. Making the 2nd hard to find. It's very
possible but you need to be sure that it will stay put. You could leave
a note on the box asking that the box and all of it's contents be placed
back and carefully hidden. I wouldn't want your hard work to go to
waste.
