Four Thousand Feet!
I don't think I have any letterboxes that low. Some of the hikes
around here START at 10,000 feet. My highest letterbox is at 13,800
feet above sea level and it's maybe the third highest in the state.
If I wanted to place one at the 4000 foot elevation where I live I
would need to dig a hole a half mile deep!
y-nought, with the scrubby trees in Colorado.

Well if 4000 ft is too low for you, try planting where I plant; 6-12
ft below sea level. That's right below sea level, no not under water
either, I live in a city that at it's highest natural point your still
at or under sea level. Where on earth? New Orleans,LA
Boxdn the Boxing Nut of Metairie,LA
Zip locs are a must have.....

Now THAT would be a challenge for me. Especially since half the water
that falls on us in Colorado, and a whole lot more, runs right through
your fair city too.
I find ways to get damp logbooks in the desert.

Hmmm.... Sounds like a challenge. Throw a letterbox in the water and
see if Boxdn can find it a couple of months later floating by in New
Orleans. =) Kind of like throwing a bottle in the ocean, except it
would be a river with a more predictable course.

It is a known fact that logbooks are the most effective substance at
absorbing any moisture from any air. So, if you want to keep a
logbook dry, you need to put another 'sacrificial' notebook in your
boxes.
