As always when I see postings from the Land-O-Letterboxing, I have to
laugh at how different our problems are. Although no less real to each
of us.
Where I live now in Washington state it is much better than Utah was
but still in my town, which is in Eastern Washington, there are only 5
letterboxes close by and 3 of those are posted by us. If I got upset
and pulled my boxes from the LBNA site I can't imagine that anyone
would ever care to hunt them down. I have had a box posted here for
more than a month and not one person has visited it yet and that was
in the summer months.
My two cents,
Nisha
