Webmasters,

If you could, please, completely remove the clues for the Columbia River
Slough Series. Placed by Amanda Briles the Paisley Orca in August 2000.
State of Oregon, Portland area, Multnomah County. It's not on a link,
but it's on the website. Only one box remains. The rest of the
letterboxes in this series will be replaced, but with new clues and on
trails instead of water.

Also...Please remove clues entirely of the Van Duzer Corridor in Oregon
near Lincoln City, Central Coast, Lincoln County. I think it was placed
maybe April of last year??? This box is still there but the clues are
funky as all get out and no one will ever find this box as it stands.
Its stamp was carved by me, Amanda Briles, The Paisley Orca, and was
placed by the love of my life, John, or jmaronieh, as he signs in at
letterboxes. We are hoping to get to that part of Oregon again in the
spring to put it in a different spot and make the ever-so-vague clues
less frustrating.

Thanks for your help on this. We really appreciate it. Sometimes life
gets in the way and people have to switch priorities and maybe that's
what's going on with our West Coast Webmaster. After all, you folks do
maintain this site out of the goodness of your hearts and we're thankful
for any time and effort you're able to give.

It will be nice to have the map updated again so we don't have to play
archeologists and dig through the archives or try to remember what was
new which month. We really appreciate your help. There's been a lot of
letterboxing activity out here lately and no one should get discouraged
just because their clues aren't posted.

Also...there are two letterboxes that were placed in New Zealand late
last year in October by Mark and Beth Bendickson and by John and myself
in December 2001. Both are on the South Island. Theirs in Christchurch
and ours in Kaikoura. How does that work? Maybe a hot spot for
international aside from North America can be created??? Ryan placed
some in Africa last year also, so those need to go somewhere, though he
has a link to them. This sport is growing leaps and bounds way beyond
Dartmoor and North American borders. Aint it fun!!!

Thanks again!

Best regards,

Amanda Briles
