There are many stated and unstated rules in this game. In England
there is a letterboxing code of conduct. In this country, there are
some things that are still up in the air and not officially written. I
applaud the Green Tortuga for having done such a thing on this site:

Otherwise, it is up to YOU - the letterboxer and the letterbox
maintainer to be responsible for minimizing the impact that occurs to
natural places.
It would be wonderful if this approach was instated on a national
level to give letterboxing more credit for some of the intuitive
education that happens when people place boxes in areas that just
"beg" for a letterbox. There is a certain amount of reading the
natural landscape that should always occur - even with an urban box.
If you're not paying attention to your surroundings (esp. with boxing)
then you might really be off.
Hope that helps.
