Per Mary's suggestion - we didn't try Folly Lick boxes.

My friends and I found all Dead Authors (Vienna, VA) 5 boxes... We
really enjoyed it. Took us 2.5hrs w/o a compass (I forgot it at
home)... Box # 2 was hard to find - our ears couldn't hear the water.
Had to back track a few times... We noticed someone else was looking
for the boxes that same day and around the same time. We were just
prob. 5-10mins behind them.

Be's Search for the Mushroom Kingdom - we found this box also.
Princess Peach stamp is still there :)

Thanks Mary for the great start! What a great start - 6 boxes found!

Niki
