Hello everyone. I'm looking for a little advice here. I was in
digging around in the basement the other day and I found clues for 2
boxes that are close to me. I set off to find them, and located one
couldn't find the other. The one I located is in some need of repair.
The lid of the box is cracked and it was damp. I found an email of the
placer and tried to contact them but the email address is no longer a
know memeber on AOL. I was very surprised to see that the box had been
last found May 2006. So my question is this. What is now the proper
procedure I should use to adopt this box. It's a shame it's not listed
somewhere. It was a nice walk with a pretty view and deserves more
visitors. Any input would be greatly appreciate!!!!! Becky Alexander

Hi ~TCM~
You should make sure that there isn't a current listing for the box
either at AQ or LbNA. Since the box was found May 2006 there could
be a listing for the box somewhere other than the basement. You
might check the "Old" LbNA listing as well. Once you determine that
there isn't any listings then go back to the basement and post a
note regarding your adoption and contact Jay Drew. I think it was
Jay that originally set up the Basement so he should be able to help
you. It is great to see those oldies and moldies adopted.

Don, thanks so much for the reply. I checked both letterboxing.org and
atlasquest for the box and didn't find them listed. I even went onto the
geo-caching.com web page and checked there and found no listing. I didn't think
about the old letterboxing web site so I will check that. That was a great
suggestion. If I don't locate it there I'll contact Jay and breath some new life
into this old box. Which by the way just celebrated it's 4th year
anniversary. The original placement date was September 22, 2002. ~The Cats Meow~

the adoption. But, since I couldn't contact the placer I will stop
back out and place it into a new box that will keep it dry! Thanks for
the input :-)

I would still go ahead with contacting Jay. Most of those that are
listed in the basement a apart of the old LbNa web site, so it
probably needs adoption.

Don,
Maybe you could help me. I am relatively new to boxing, a couple months
now, and I have heard of AQ and LbNA, but I was wondering where to find
the "Old" LnNA listings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
