Ok, so after brunch I made the BF drive to the park. I had to replace
four boxes that I had pulled for maintenance, and of course I wanted to
see what was up with this one!
It seems that the finder previous to the one who reported it missing
actually hid it BETTER than I had! I had put it in a good-sized hollow
tree, off to one side and covered up. When I checked on it, I didn't
find it there, and was not able to search around too much because there
were too many people around. Today, it was cold (and Easter Sunday) so
there were very few folks about...sure enough, the box was there! It
had been shoved WAY back in a small hollow inside the large hollow and
very well covered with leaves and bark. So, YAY! I updated the clue
page to reflect this slight adjustment in placement (for this urban
series, I am very specific about the hiding spot to enable seekers to
get in and out quickly and unobtrusively), and now I just want to
finish up on-line and work on a new stamp, or log, or something. Hoppy
Easter, y'all!
