Accidental find

From: johntenbohmer (johntenbohmer@yahoo.com) | Date: 2008-04-03 02:45:09 UTC
I was down near Rosario Beach near Deception Pass, Washington, and was
snooping around looking for geocaches without my gps when I came
across what I thought was a cache, but it was my first letterbox
find. I have tried to locate the box on the letterboxing.org site
with no luck. It had not been found since 2004 and I am wondering if
no one claims it, if I can re-register it. It is called Early Bird.

Thanks for any help.

I didn't see Early Bird, Rosario Beach on LB.org or AQ or in the Basement.

First, I hope you didn't remove it from its location . . . apparently
a good one for it to still be there!

Did the logbook identify who placed it?? Trail name and/or e-ddress.

It could have been a Word of Mouth clue that was never intended to be
placed on the internet. Did the log book show when it was planted?

Amanda from Seattle has it posted as a find back on March 12 2002 --
don't know if she can offer up an insight as to who planted it. She
posted message 61709 - you can go to that message and click on the
envelope to contact her.

No I didn't remove it, and I didn't notice who placed
it either. All I did was sign the logbook and place
it where I found it. I think it was placed in 2002.
