footprints that some not so nice people can follow to do not so nice
things to the box. Of course there are those people who could not
follow footprints in the snow to find anything. The next snowfall
will also cover over any tracks, so that will limit the time the
footprints are visable.
The other thing is that the snow covers up most boxes. Last winter
was very snowy in New England. Most of our boxes here are planted
close to the ground, and were below the snowpack level. I had to
give up searching for some boxes even when I thought I was in the
right place. I spent the winter reading clues and taking walks in
my imagination, and then went out boxing when spring came.

experience letterboxing when there is snow on the ground. But, I
was wondering how others handle it when their footprints leave an
obvious path to where the letterbox is hidden?

torture of not knowing if it was visited yet and if it was, what
they thought of it, and if they were bit by a squirrel, or if they
thought it was a stupid spot, or a stupid stamp... is tortureous but
enjoyable. ;)
