I can't find an e-mail address for Linda Aplin, who placed 4 letter boxes at
Baylands Park in Palo Alto, CA, so I'm taking a guess that she subscribes to
this list (or someone who knows her does).
My daughters and I headed out to Palo Alto to try our hand at letterboxing.
I've placed three myself, but this was my first try looking for them. Boxes
1 was kind of difficult to find. The clues sent us in the wrong direction,
but once he heard the "dragon" we got on track. Box #2 was not difficult to
find. Box #3 was a little harder as you had to look "really low" to find
it. Box #4 was the problem. The clues were easy, and we found what we
think was the hidding spot (clump of rocks) but no letterbox could be found.
We re-did the clue for #4 and it was pretty obvious were the box was
supposed to be.
So, Linda, I would suggest going out and seeing if Box #4 is really gone,
has just been moved, or I totally missed it.
And just so you know, the only entries in the books were by Lone Wolf and
myself. Box #1 was missing a book, but the rest was there. About your
stamps in the boxes, boy, they are big.
So, I can say that letterboxes do disappear. I would suggest keeping this
in mind and not invest a whole lot in the boxes and contents. The
letterboxes I placed were created with this in mind and done very
inexpensively (and a lot smaller than Linda's).

Tim,
I've forwarded your message to Linda. She has not had time to be
active on the list lately, but I'm sure will look into the issues you
raise.
I'll post if I hear anything, unless she does.
