NJ - Tripod Letterbox Update

From: noreester (SJinNJ@aol.com) | Date: 2001-12-23 20:35:46 UTC
Folks,

A couple weeks back it was reported that the Tripod Letterbox, which
is part of the Pyramid Moutain Series in New Jersey was missing.
Today I finally got a chance to go and check on it. I was surprised
to find it was still there, exactly where placed.

Apparently at some point in November someone found the box and placed
it by a makeshift memorial to the WTC disaster. Dozens of folks
(mostly non-letterboxers) used the notebook to jot down their
thoughts and prayers to all those who were affected by the events of
9/11. Then sometime in early December a letterboxer (I can't
remember who, sorry) placed the box back at it's original hiding
spot.

I'm pretty much amazed that this box was out in the open for at least
a couple weeks and not one person thought to trash it. Just goes to
show you how much this country has changed since those events in
September.

PS The box is back in it's original hiding spot for anyone who wants
to search for it.
