A new boxer, and a missing box in WA

I recieved this message today--a new convert! :)
Be advised that Native Plants #1 (Western Trillium) at Tiger Mountain in
Issaquah, WA will be missing until I hear that it's back in place.

"I came across your Western Trillium Box #1 today, quite out of its place, but
in exactly the right place for me to find it! It was tucked in the hollow
base of a little tree right next to one of the trails northbound from Round
Lake. Instead of being my boringly polite self and just leaving what was
clearly someone's little travel/hiking notebook, I pulled the box out to
snoop. Imagine my joy upon reading, "Look inside!" Guilt-free snooping!!
Anyway, I took the box home to figure out what the deal was, i.e., what to do
with it.

Now that I know about letterboxes, I'm going to make my own stamp, stamp
Western Trillium, and bring it to its proper place - probably next weekend
when I have an out-of-town guest who will enjoy the fun. Thanks for the great
box, and the great discovery!! Mariana"
