Darn it--can't wait to get back home to pick up your
boxes! My parents are thrilled you are planting in
the Adirondacks--they were the first to find another
of your boxes.

Got to plan a weekend soon!

If you can, plan on the tour of the Sagamore, too. It's worth the price of
the tour!

Had already planned a trip to that area for the Labor Day weekend and
was thrilled to find a last minute letterbox placement. I've driven
through Raquette lake (the village, not the lake) countless times and
never knew that Sagamore was there. Visited the box one week after it
was planted and hiked on to see the namesake Beaver Flow, all very
enjoyable. We look forward to seeing more Adirondack boxes.
