On the other hand (if that's allowed ;-) ), there are MANY a box
listed in the LBNA site that are missing, despite numerous reports of
these boxes being gone. We can name at least 3 (out of maybe 15) in
the greater Lehigh Valley, PA area that are gone - Lock Ridge, Just
Flying Through and Gold Fish. Several people have verified this, yet
these are still listed on the LBNA site...

So, our legends may actually be pushed beyond 50%, though SE CT would
probably push that %age down again.
