The tribe visited this box on Monday. Hurricane Isabel has changed
the landscape a bit, washing out one of the creek crossings, erasing
the final path, and downing a tree right on top of the (previously
downed) tree holding the box. But at least it didn't crush it!
However, Isabel decided to flood the box - filled to the lid with
water. Of course we dumped it out, but it could still use a major
drying out (we have to remember to bring paper towels and ziploc bags
with us next time!), although damage to the book itself seems minimal,
considering. We were able to stamp in. The box is starting to crack
a bit, too. The other two boxes in this series are in good shape.

Yikes! I wonder if Isabel read the article in Family Fun! Another fine
example of the wrong crowd getting into letterboxing!
Stop the presses!!! ;)
