Hey Amanda!
I can't wait till we find the time to get up toward Seattle and get some
of the boxes up there. Flaming Geyser has such an awesome visual image
in my head. I look forward to finding the letterbox and achieving the
stamped image someday.
Best regards,

Found your box this evening, and what a great evening it was for
letterboxing. The Geyser wasn't flaming though!
Thanks Amanda from Seattle!

You can light the geyser if it is not already flaming.
I didnt want to put that in the letterbox
instructions---because of kids and matches! but it is
not dangerous to do it yourself...the day we were
there to plant the box it was flaming and it really is
pretty.
