... and what a find it was, being the first to stamp in.  Our group has been researching this box since it was placed back in February 2001, choosing this box as our first.  We searched the area three times throughout the year, but needed to defer from the search from time to time, locating other boxes, so not to lose our enthusiasm with letterboxing.

 We all sat around the box, in what you may call a slight depression.  Researching the box was a long and very enjoyable venture, and now knowing the search was complete, we felt we were losing a long time friend.

 We are now off and running to Randy Hall’s next two NJ boxes, Time Traveler and Calico.  We hope these boxes are just as rewarding as the first, and since they are rated more difficult, I’m sure we will again be using a lot of expletive words towards Randy as we begin our research for the boxes.

Thanks to all you New Jersey folks who are broadening the letterbox list.  We look forward to finding the boxes throughout the coming years, and hope to place some boxes ourselves.
