New Der Mad Stamper Box

I just noticed that clues to a DMS box in New Hampshire were recently posted on LBNA, even though it was planted in 2013.  I would love to hear the story behind this one and wish I lived close enough to get it.  Might have to plan another New England trip!

there really isn't much of a back story. 2013 is actually the date i had a friend check the clues to make sure they were still accurate. might have been planted as early as 2010 or even earlier. at some point dms had given me a stamp to plant in new hampshire. i did so and posted the clues.  he then asked for me to not to post the clues as he had something special in mind. so i took the clues down. a number of years passed and he was never quite ready. then, i think, life got in the way for dms and the box just became a low priority. it happens. so over time the box has sat lonely and forlorn in its little corner of the forest. so again this past month, as i had a couple of times over the years,  wrote dms and asked about posting the clues. receiving no response i went ahead and posted it.
 
so the next time you come to new england you will have to come to my neck of the woods where the visitors are few and far between.

Well, Silver Eagle, I “won” a box, by solving a mystery, some years back, stamp and all, BUT, before I had a chance to plant it, we had a wildfire come through, and took out everything we owned, except for the car we escaped in…  including all my letterboxing things, and that box…  That MAY not be the case, in this case, but, I’m sure they have some logical reason…  some years back, I did find the box you had planted on Mt. Petit Jean, here in AR.  After the fire, I haven’t had time to search for more, with rebuilding a house to replace what we were living in, etc.  Maybe they will inform you.  J
