Just completed a wonderful trip to Arizona. Checked on the letterboxes there
as part of our hiking adventures.
Found South Mountain Park and Summer Storms in good condition.
Kartchner Caverns appears to be gone as all we found was the bottom half of
a container. $10 fee to enter park is high for what you see unless you can
also get on a cavern tour (still in high demand, you need a reservation or to be
among first 50 or so waiting at the gate well before 7:30 visitor center opening).
Too much snow and mud to try the Superstition Mountains - maybe next year.

Hi Miner Peter,
So sorry about the missing Kartchner Cavern box. Losses happen and since it
was an orphan box we just had to hope it would have lasted longer. It was
only in place 6 weeks or so. Yes, the fees to the site are expensive and
it is a long drive unless you have prepurchased tickets to Caverns. Glad to
hear that "Summer Storm is doing OK. Gwen and Don

I hope your next trip has better weather. The Superstition Mountains
box has got to be one of the most rewarding letterboxes I've done.
