Randy, you are now my official hero of the week: blow off work to scramble
around in the woods, then hop in the car for two hours to do it again! Now
you've got me thinking about box-marathoning. There was just an article in
our local paper about some insane hikers who got together in a camper and
did all 6 New Engalnd high peaks in 48 hours. Think of the possibilities!
You're right about the waterproofing, I managed to get back last week and
run the last half of the trail backwards and have zip locked two of the four
boxes. They also need a "what is letterboxing" insert, but that's just an
excuse to get out now and check your stamp: I'm sure you're the first to
find that series. Thanks! Jay
