I'd venture to guess that almost every letterbox planted on the
Hawaiian Islands was planted by somebody just visiting for a bit.
At least that was the case the last time we were there. Amazingly,
most of the boxes have survived over the years, too.

I hope to do the same for Western KY, with my occaisional trips out
there. The Land Between the Lakes is ripe for a couple....

My other area of travel, Houston, is pretty well laden, so I can be a
letterbox consumer down there....

Amanda, let me know where you are going in general and when. I will
leave some in MT for you both. I have been so pleased to have found
the ones you left on your last trip this direction. When I began
letterboxing, it was only A-Bear and I in a fairly large state. I
was so excited to learn of some of your boxes. I have driven hours
to find a couple of your boxes. I would love to return the favor of
having some for you to find.

Personally, I will always be grateful for traveling planters. I
would have been the only one planting letterboxes within hundreds of
miles if it weren't for a few kind souls who took pity on a lone
letterboxer until I finally got one other letterboxer in my side of
the state. I have also spent many an afternoon checking box status
or doing first aid for those boxers to help repay their favor to me.

Happy holidays,
