I am pulling Aisling's boxes in Nashua, NH, not only because of the winter,
but also because they need some refurbishing. Also, their location makes it
such that if someone did decide to go get them with snow on the ground,
their safety would be cause for concern.

Would one of the mods/more experienced members let me know how I can update
clues as a caretaker? Feel free to email me privately about it: letterboxing
AT bluejena DOT net.

If you didn't see anything posted on the list serve assume the box is still out there. I boxed last winter with no problems of being where a box had been pulled.

Subject: [LbNA] Pulling Boxes for Winter?


Hello,
Here and on another listserve I have seen a couple of posts about
pulling boxes for the winter. Is this the norm for New England? (I
couldn't box last winter due to an injury, and wasn't reading the
lists.)

I assume placers[removers?] will put something on the clue
description on the LBNA website to let folks know not to search, but
I will be disappointed if a lot of boxes go away. Snow levels go up
and down and I was hoping to get in a some boxing walks this winter
to keep from feeling housebound.

I am not planning to take mine out. I think they will survive the
winter, even if they are a bit lonely.

I'm not planning to pull my New England boxes. I believe they will survive
just fine.

I'm not pulling my boxes either. I want to see how they do in the
spots I've chosen for them, and I'm also eager to see how my
micro-boxes do since they are good for -70. Syracuse doesn't get that
cold, but sometimes it feels like it!

I'm going to pull my boxes just cause we had huge drifts last year
where they are and I don't want them frozen to the rocks since they
are in watery areas either

So go get the Andover boxes! lol

I do not intend to pull them for the winter. First of
all, we've got almost 40 boxes out there at this
point. Don't want to take the time to go and get them
all. Second, we try to be careful with our placements,
avoiding places that we think might be prone to
flooding or accidental discovery. Last, we usually
experience several thaws over the course of the New
England winter (last winter being the exception to the
rule), and if the boxes aren't out there, then no one
can find them during those oh-so-short times when
hiking doesn't leave a trail that anyone can follow.

I'll be testing them for you this coming week. We're going to my
mother-in-law's place in Syracuse for Thanksgiving. And I'm grateful
that you haven't pulled your boxes, because the other ones in Syracuse
have already been pulled for the winter (I contacted the placer to
verify.)

Pulling the boxes out of their places would be quit a task here in these
Catskills because almost each letterbox spot is a feat in itself to
reach. This is probably why there are such few hits on them and some
have never been found with 0 (zero) hits like (Hidden Pond - NY) . Even
or dog "Bud" has a hard time reaching some of them - Budster
