Dearest Letterboxers. I have some bad news about my Green Isle Park
letterbox. It is missing. A friend and I went looking for it and it
was gone. Mitch, could you please make a note of it on the web site.
I am planning on doing a series on the East River and shall replace
this letterbox. I will keep you all posted.
Also, Steven can not tell his right from his left on the Algoma
Lighthouse Box. The clue states "park bench on left" but one must go
to the "park bench on the right." Please make another update, Mitch?
That is all from Wisconsin. Love you. die xo

I hunted for that missing letterbox of Dierdra's, and
thought I must have looked in the wrong place too. It
is a pretty popular place though, and the specific
location is frequented by scores of people for reasons
legitimate (fishing) and otherwise (fishing by kids
under 21 with beer taken from mom and dad's fridge.)
Dierdra has plans afoot for an entire series to take
its place though, starting with a new and improved
setting for the missing letterbox.
What's our progress on 50 by Y2K? Has anyone plans to
bring the deep South into the fold? Is Hawaii in
anyone's near future travel plans? I think I can add
Michigan if no one else is planning it, as the Upper
Penninsula is as close to me as Door Co. is. Sure
it'd be sneaking a letterbox in through the back door
so to speak, but enough to get MI on the map.

So sad to hear of the lost box - are you absolutely sure you've hunted
in ann surrounding possibilities? Was it located where a chance find
was unlikely?
I may have a lost one as well - "Arnold's Gambit" was not found by at
least two searchers - several weeks apart. Its a sad feeling. I hope
that yours turns up. Keep the faith.

Yes it was located in a likely place where fishermen may have found it
and not known what it was. I was told by my friend Steve, that boys
will go fishing there. He is going to help me with the Green Isle Park
Series I am going to be creating once I am done housesitting at my
father's.
I hope that yours turns up. Keep the faith.
Thanks. I am going to keep on searching
Thanks again.

Hello All -
I'm sorry to say that I haven't been able to get out to the "Hole in
the Wall" and check for the box. As the box's "parent" its my
responsibility to confirm that it was indeed missing. If you have
already stamped in at the Hole in the Wall Box a few months ago, and now
that you have returned to find it gone, I can confidently assume that it
is truly missing. (Some people have called a box MIA if they are simply
unable decipher the clues correctly) It is my intention to replace the
box and hopefully hide it in a different spot. I too do not understand
why some folks find it irresistable to take the boxes. There was a note
in it explaining about letterboxing and asking accidental finders to
replace the box. I know that this is a problem in Dartmoor as well.
I am eagerly looking forward to hunting your boxes, Joie, when you
hide them this Spring.

PS In the meantime, Webmasters, could you please make a note that "Hole
in the Wall" is missing? Thanks

just came in from x-country skiing along the lehigh canal tow path in bethlehem,pa. very nice day for it.checked in on "hole in the wall" box which is one in a series of three on the tow path and found that it is still missing..found it for the first time on 11-19-00 . it was my thirdbox, i am a "newbie", and my son and i had been the first ones to stamp in which was a real thrill for us.i went back on 12-6-00 to see if and who stamped in after us and found it missing ....i was heartbroken about it and certain that we had gone to length to re-hide it was at a loss as to why someone would take off with it even if they somehow had "stumbled" onto it. anyway, that was before i had a computer and before i joined LBNA. i asked my friend who introduced me to letterboxing to notify the boxes parent which she did. my thought is that on the clue site there is no mention that this box is gone for now...i know that some clues do inform you if a box is M.I.A. .as does jacobsburg eec box#2. i appreciate the info when i pick places to go and thought that mention could be made about " hole in the wall ". i have had great fun stamping into the five boxes i have found so far, thanks to all the creators out there!!! keep your eyes open for the clues for the boxes i have planned to put out this spring! see joy

Hi. I have been searching for a box in Struthers, OH called Hopewell Furnace. I don't know if it is on Atlas Quest or LetterBox North America? I have the clues printed out, searched today & we found a destroyed box, weren't sure if it was the box or not. But I now can't find any box by that name or place or either site. Does anyone know what happened to it? Thanks.
