There are many more reports of found boxes and wonderful trails that
it would appear the boxes outnumber the 'SABS'. So rather than
withdrawing from the planting of boxes - with the possibility of
destruction - let's plant twice as many. It will drive the SABS
crazy and maybe they will self destruct.

And sometimes a better knowledge of the terrain. I had a box that
got washed out --- the first finder reported this and put it back
with rocks on top to anchor. The next finder (within 24 hours) said
they found it washed out and put it back, but it was going to rain
again. I can only hope no one drives over it!! But at this point
I'm happy soneone got the first finder certificate and if it is
reported missing I'll pull the clues --- clever as they may be!
