I recently received pictures of flooded Marietta, Oh. The park where my Half Marathon Box
is/was placed was under about 2 ft of water! Since I did not have a heavy rock on the box,
I imagine it has floated down the Ohio river somewhere! LOL

box into a mini, but they seem very sturdy. The top of the container goes up into a pretty
deep groove on the lid and then the lip of the lid, formed by the groove goes pretty far
down onto the top of the container. And the top of the container has a slanted lip on it
also, that meets the slanted bottom of the lid. This is probably about as clear as mud, but
they seem like they would work very well.

Has anyone ever found a letterbox washed up on shore? Can you imagine if
one somehow miraculously survived, the fun someone would have finding it?
... move over Message in a Bottle!

Seriously though, I'm so sorry to hear your area was flooded!! Regrets to
all who have experienced something similar!
