My husband and I went boxing today at the Peoples State Forest and we
were very disturbed (and angry) to find the Nature of the Forest
Series in such poor condition. Most all of the 6 boxes were left out
in the open and the Frog Letterbox was pretty much ruined. The box
was so wet the log bookwas completely ruined. We could not even
stamp in it was so wet. We did our very best to repair the damage
caused by someone very careless. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL of those who
work so hard on making and placing these boxes. CARE FOR THEM BETTER
THAN YOU FOUND THEM. Common courtesy and common sense make life a
bit easier for all. Sorry the rant.

I have to agree with Fire Lady and D-ant. I constantly find
letterboxes that are exposed and easily seen from the trail. Inside
the box the logbooks and stamps are not returned to the ziplock bags,
leaving them at the mercy of the elements when the letterbox leaks
and believe me, the letterbox WILL LEAK.
Imagine that it is YOUR LETTERBOX that you are replacing. What would
you do if you had purchased the box and made the stamp by hand?

I think most letterboxers are conscience of how to
care for others boxes. Maybe children or adults find
them and don't care and just toss them aside. Also
Weather conditions can have a lot to do with where our
boxes end up.
just my 2 cents
