Would that apply to National Historic Sites also? I'm bummed to hear
this....I just carved a stamp to commemorate our local fort and
planned to plant it this weekend.

Hi Greycrazy,
I don't know if Historic Sites are also banned--is the site run by the
National Park Service? If so, then I think you're out of luck. If it's run by
the Forest Service (or some other agency), then it might not be banned.
Anyway, here are two suggestions for you to consider:
1) Ask. Find out who is in charge of the local site and explain our odd
hobby, tell where you would plant the box (of course, it will have to be
somewhere that would not cause probelms), and request permission.
2) Consider starting the seekers at the fort and leading them via clues to
some other nearby location to find the box. And/or the clues might include
info that is found by visiting the fort ("Count the cannons. Take that same
number of steps from the old oak tree....)
Hope you find a creative use for that stamp!
