Ahhh, now you know why I ask the dumb newbie questions. Maybe just
putting a few bits of moss over it then. I'll think of something :o)

It is that which is stronger than the strongest armour. It is that which is sharper than the sharpest blade. It is faith, forged from mercy and honor. Do that which is honorable and just, in the most compassionate way that you can, and it shall never fail you.

Ooops -- not moss either! Moss is pretty delicate, so moving living moss
would likely destroy it.

A rocky ledge or hollow of a tree are terrific hiding places.

Stick with a good flat rock, or several for that matter.... Cairn is the

Finding a hiding place is just as challenging as creating your
letterbox. Look for hollow logs or crevices around the bases of
trees. You can use loose leaves, straw, twigs or rocks (whatever is
already laying around the area) to cover up any parts of the box that
might still be showing.

If you go hunting for a few boxes first, you can get an idea of what
other folks have been doing to hide their boxes :-)

Hiding it in a natural hole like a knothole and covering it with felt works
too
