Point to Ponder...

From: Lightnin Bug (rpboehme@yahoo.com) | Date: 2004-11-12 12:42:47 UTC

Riddle me this...

Say a letterboxer plants a box and later comes down with irreversible
amnesia. Hence, they cannot remember planting the box or anything
about letterboxing. Oh, and in the incident, lose their logbook.

A couple months later, they read a Time article or catch something on
CNN and realize, "Hey that's a cool hobby". They hop on LBNA, then
locate and find a letterbox really close to where they live.

As it turns out, they find the same letterbox that they planted...

Does this count as a find?

I think it should be counted as 2 finds - the box and the brain! : )

Yes, but you have to guess who I was in my past letterboxing life! ;-

Wait, I cannot answer that because I do not remember myself.
