LOL - Brian, you need to crawl back in bed and try getting up on the
OTHER side this morning!

She may not be talking about boxes in the WOODS. She may be
planting mostly urban, like me. I'll admit I am not be the best
hider in the world, but I am getting better and was never all that
bad. But when you hide in the city, you find that the places that
are most out of the way are also the places that homeless people
tend to congregate in at night during bad weather. I've had at
least one of my MIA boxes fall prey to this very fact, and my
daughter has one also. Another of my MIA boxes disappeared when the
dock under which it was well hidden, in a park right on the LSU
campus, got torn down and rebuilt. Another on the LSU campus was
well hidden under an ice machine - which got moved during
construction.

It's not always a case of poor hiding - just the nature of the sport
when you engage in urban letterboxing. I figure a box that lasts 6
months is doing well. I can live with that. Urban letterboxing has
it's own, unique, pleasures different from trail letterboxing both
for the hider and the finder.

So there!

Happy hunting,
Zed (who's not really sure which side of the bed SHE got up on this
morning!)
