I don't even remember how to diagram a sentence, much less why.

Oh, wait, that's right, to find clues to mystery boxes planted in Sausalito.

I beg to differ. While I do not have a GPS, I know many letterboxers
who do and who would, yes, use it to find a box if the clues call for
it. In fact, I know several boxes where the clues do call for it.
Aardvark in an argyle sweater anyone?

I fail to see how it would be so drastic a change. I mean, think about
it, you have a clue. You use the clue to go find a box that has a
logbook and a stamp in it. What difference is a coordinate clue from
say an encryption clue or a photographic clue. It is simply a different
way of disseminating said clue. If you don't want to find the box, that
is up to you.

Actually, I rather enjoy it when things get heated.
