The day before we left for vacation, I received an email saying the three
boxes at Hidden Pond were missing! OH... stab me in the heart! Our first
plant and they were already missing! I thought about our poor boxes all
weekend, but thankfully team BeMa found all three alive and well on July
6th!

When we placed the boxes in March the tree/bush growth was minimal. Box #1
is a bit far off the trail. The naturalist at Hidden Pond helped us find
spots for the letterboxes (NOT once did he mention "swamp
snakes"...eeeewwww). As with anything, the more you practice (writing
clues, giving directions, placing boxes etc.) the better you become...next
time we'll place them alittle closer to the trail.

I plan to revise the driving directions to emphasize the 2nd Greeley Blvd
entrance, it is very confusing if you're not familiar with the area.
