Okay, has anyone found the Magic Hedge Box or the Underground Chicago
box? I hunted for both of these boxes with no success. I thought I
was following the clues, but at both boxes I reach a point where the
clues do not make sense to me. And I back tracked and tried
different interpretations with no success.

help!

Had a great time hunting down our first boxes this weekend while
visiting the Chicago area -- Chicago Underground and Magic Hedge.

Both boxes are in good condition, with stamps and books intact and
dry. Although it was a little harder to find, we were surprised to
see so few visitors to the Magic Hedge box since it was placed Dec.
2001.

I purchased the stamp I am using as my personal stamp because I was
anxious to get started and found the 'perfect' stamp. Am now working
on carving my first stamp, a hitch hiker to be planted on our next
hunt. Also putting together a few ideas for boxes of our own, to be
placed in the West Michigan area.

Thanks for all the great info here and on member sites around the web!

We found the Chicago Underground and Magic Hedge boxes mid-July.
Both were alive and well. Happy hunting!

The Chicago Portage box is still there to be found.

Good luck!
