Box Maintenance Issues in SFL

From: daisybabebl (daisybabebl@yahoo.com) | Date: 2005-04-17 01:59:52 UTC

Hi!

In my boxing today, I came across three that need some TLC.

"Tiki Idol" has gotten drenched. The book is moldy and the inkpad
is so wet the stamp just runs off the page. I dried everything off
as best I could and replace the plastic baggies, but it needs a new
brown stamp pad.

"Dirigible Delite" has also gotten soaked. The book was very damp,
but more importantly, I used the last page in it today.

"Here Comes the Sun" was in great condition, except I used the last
page in its book too.

I looked for a FAQ or something regarding filled logbooks and didn't
find anything. Could someone please tell me the proper procedure?
Was I supposed to pick them up and send them back to the original
placers? Or just add a new logbook myself?

Again, thanks for the replies!

Thanks Southern Oracle for the update-
Sorry this reply is so belated- we've been out of the letterboxing loop for quite
a while, just now getting back into things (relocation, new baby, job, etc.).

We no longer reside in Florida and may not be getting down there for a while-
if anyone in the area would be willing to add a new stamp pad to our Tiki Idol
we'd gladly reimburse you for the cost of the stamp pad.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-
Terrapin Traveliers

P.S. - anyone know the status of the "Loggerhead" letterbox?

I will gladly place a new stamp pad in the Tiki Idol. I was planning on going to Boca tomorrow, so it will be good timing. I'm in West Palm Beach. If you want me to adopt, I'd be happy to.

You're welcome!

Regarding Loggerhead, I checked and I seem to have been the last person who has logged it as found. I found it on April 16, and it was well-hidden and in good condition.

Unfortunately, I had a new stamp pad in hand for Tiki Idol, but was not able to locate the box. I believe I found the correct tree, did a full circle around it, but the brush was thickly overgrown. It did not look as tho anyone had been there in a while. It also would have helped if I had worn long pants, but the weather being in the 90's today.... Summer has arrived in South Florida! Lovely park, and only the sound of 2 folks playing tennis!

Southern Oracle or Terrapin Travelers, if you email me offline to confirm location of the box, I will make another pass.
