Rich,

We stumbled across this box while hiking towards "Due North" on
August 12. It was left out in the open at that time and the blue
color stuck out like a sore thumb against the predominantly green
background.

The original information inside the box stated that it was the
"Junior Girl Scout Troup 3703" letterbox. Apparently the troup (from
Reading, MA if memory serves me correctly) placed it there to earn
some sort of badge. The notebook is the waterproof kind so any stamps
are probably smudged. It was never listed on either LB site.

BTW, this was what I was referring to with my answer to the "most
bizarre" question on the Atlasquest interview.
