I am pulling the clues for all of my boxes, hidden throughout NJ and
ME. My boxes were adoped by someone else, which, when asked, I said
I did not want that to happen. The clues have been altered, to give
hints to people, which I find unacceptable. If they are too
difficult for people to find, then so be it. No one should have the
right to change someone else's clues, or take over their boxes
against their express statement. I can see now how much the
letterboxing community has altered since it's inception, and it's no
wonder why people have left. It's not all about the box. I'm
genuinely upset that someone else is claiming my effort and
creativity as their own (I read a clue that doesn't even have my name
anywhere on it), and will not participate.
The clues being pulled are as follows:
New Jersey
Liberty State Park (1)
Cheesequake State Park (2)
Kennedy Park (1)
Rutgers Gardens (3)
Somewhere in NJ (2)
Music to my Ears (1)
Monster Cereal series (2)

I don't blame you one bit. I would hope this is a mistake by the
person that "adopted" them and that they'll come forward and
relinquish the ownership...

I totally agree. It's like an original piece of work, just ridiculous.
Without the permission of the planter, it's not right. I have left
the majority of my boxes in maine. My clues are gone, but I know that
some folks know the boxes are there. I'd hate to see folks stumble
across a box and take it upon themselves to put the clues for my lost
box out there. The boxes all have associated clues. Just because
you're not privy to them does not mean they're up for grabs.

What a shame that those who originally came up with these innovative
ideas and clues are leaving.

Are you pulling the boxes, too, or just the clues? We printed some of
your Maine clues some while ago, in anticipation of a trip to Maine
later this summer.

While I'm intensely saddened about what has happened to you, I am not
surprised. I'm sorry it has come to this.

---I should probably step away from the computer but I just have to say something. There
is alot of back story here, I do not know all of it so no details from me. I just want to
defend a really good person who did not intend any harm and thought they were doing the
right thing. Don't jump on me for this, it should be sorted out between the people
involved and not done to death on this list when all the facts are not known.
