Our next challenge...

From: Wisconsin Hiker (kotlarek@wi.rr.com) | Date: 2010-05-16 17:34:24 UTC
... will be trying to find a few boxes in Finland. I found a Finnish website that lists several clues, including 2 series in National Parks (hosted by the parks). The challenge will be to figure out the clues! Google translation of Finnish to English is only so-so and the clues are actually clues, rather than directions, so a little bit cryptic. In addition, some of the boxes were planted back in 2001. Plant dates range from 2001-2009, but of the 50 or so that we are aware of in southern Finland, only 5 were planted last year, so most are older.

Wish us luck with the Finnish "lodjua"!
