I recently submitted a clue but received the E-mail returned with a notice that you are not accepting attachments.  How do I post clues in the form of puzzles?  Thank you.

Hi,
 
Post the clues at your website, and then send us the link so we can see/read them there.
 
Anyone else have a suggestion?
 
Cheerfully,
Ais

Yahoo has a files section
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/letterbox-usa/files/
where anyone can upload files, pictures, etc. (in fact, a set of
pictures is there already--but upside down!)

There is supposed to be a setting where non-Yahoo members can access
the files (up to the list moderator/owner to make that choice) but I
am not sure how it works. Anyway, all Yahoo! members could open a
file at the above URL.

To WandaandPete:

Found your letterboxes in Southern Nevada--thanks for placing them;
it was fun--and you must be something of a mystic.

Since the one box was in a populated area, I assumed there was no
need for secrecy. My friend was a little more aware and while I was
tripping back and forth to the box, he was watching to see how much
interest my actions generated amongst the locals. He was totally
amazed to see none. In fact, everyone was staring at the same
location in the sky 180 degrees from the box.

Turned out there was a California condor circling up there. It flew
away immediately after we replaced the contents.

We were the first to find that one and the second (and third) to find
the other one. Sad to say, the drought this year may put an end to
your marker. The cactus looked pretty dead and no rain in sight. We
discovered an interesting 4-wheel trail to explore, so that was a
great find for us also.

We will be checking out the Mid Hills box soon and, hopefully, get to
Moab before the NPS discovers that one! What a great hobby.
