Feeling Lucky in Las Vegas
From: Suzanne Hackett-Morgan (realroadrunner@earthlink.net) |

Just got word that someone found the last lingering letterbox on the
Las Vegas Strip...the one I replanted to replace the original.
Well, this person says the stamp is missing (which if it's true IRKS
me big time! Kill! Kill! Kill! It was a nice carving, but SHEESH!
It's only reportedly been found by one other person since New Year's)
but, I'm holding out hope that this person actually found the
original FEELING LUCKY planted by Jana which had also been reported
to have had its stamp missing.
The last time I heard about this letterbox before I planted the
replacement someone else had suggested using the box lid (an M&M mini
container) as the stamp...so, I found it curious to hear that again
this time.
Can anybody shed any light on this? My boxes' color was sort of
tortoise colored.

more forever!)

Oh happy day! Just heard from the person and she confirmed that the box she found
(which, I'm embarrassed to say, I've never been able to find) was ORANGE, not BROWN
TORTOISE colored and contained loose sheets of paper, not my cheerful red logbook.
Oh, I'm all smiles right now!
So, maybe this is your year to feel REALLY lucky in Vegas. It appears there are two finds in
the same spot and one actually has a really nice stamp.
Now, if it would only stop raining...

Gee whiz! The persistence of the orange box! I just got another
email with somebody saying the found Janaland's original Feeling
Lucky and "there's no stamp!" There are TWO boxes in this
location...mine is BROWN, and reportedly has a stamp and logbook.
The other is orange and has no stamp and loose sheets of paper. I've
updated the clue on lb.org to point out this difference so hopefully
people will feel less "clueless" and I'll get less email about it.
I don't know if Janaland is still around or not, but I'd be just as
happy if the next finder of the ORANGE box pocketed it and walked
away. I don't think she's planning on coming back to "service" it.
Grumpily,

Just an idea but how about putting it in your clues? Could save
everyone a lot of aggravation.

Realroadrunner,

I hope that realroadrunner doesn't give in to the understandable
frustration and pull this box, because it would be a real shame. I
found it last weekend and it was one of the high points of my trip to
Vegas. Because of it's location, it requires extra effort to remain
undetected. Creative diversionary tactics were employed (singing and
tapdancing to draw attention away from the box), which left my cousin
and I in hysterics!

Hi,
Glad you found it! It is a tough spot for being discreet. I'm sorry if I sounded overly
crabby about the "other" Feeling Lucky box (the ornage one without the stamp)...maybe its
because I'VE never found it :-)
I won't pull either box for now...and as soon as all this rain stops, I'll go check on them. I
know people really enjoy having that box on the Strip.

I found the orange box in September when we were in Vegas. It took
two trips to find it. The only way I could do it even semi-discreetly
is to be there at 4 in the morning but there was still lots of traffic
around. I ignored them and they ignored me. The stamp was missing
then but I did use the box to stamp in.

I found the orange box in september when I was there also. It was down in the foliage and I asked the landscapers if they had seen anything . . . they let me pick through the junk and there it was. Was disappointed there was no stamp . . .but took a photo of the location. Put it back where I thought it should have been.

I searched last July, August, and September on three different trips,
at least twice per trip in the night time and the day, and didn't
find either one... I guess I'll be trying again on my trip in March!

Sigh.
I tried too, while I was in Vegas...the crowds were uncooperative, and despite my best efforts...and scuffing my spiffy new shoes...I couldn't come up with the box. Another sigh. Tricksey boxes!
