I drove and my wife filmed most of the movie. Actually the camera
was just propped on the dashboard most of the time. I managed
filming and driving the last bit by myself, quite a challenge.

Claim this box quickly - it will be removed later this year for the
winter due to danger of loss due to winter/spring flooding in the
area (thanks to Mark and Beth for the tip). It will be replaced
after the danger is gone. Check the clue page for status as I will
note there when it is inactive.

I don't think Ryan has found any of our boxes. Perhaps he's seen our
boring sig stamp and is afraid our box stamps aren't any good. :) In
any case, our box stamps are much better than our sig stamp. It's
probably about time to recarve our sig stamp, my skills have gotten
much better. Just carved a pretty cool hitchhiker that will be
released soon. It is my first stamp carved using something other
than an X-acto knife.

Actually, I think I might have gotten one or two of your boxes, but
I'm not sure. It's hard to keep track of all these new people and
who placed which ones. That and I haven't picked up too many
in the Portland area since getting back since most of my efforts
have been on the Seattle area boxes--generally those in Kings
County with a couple of expections since that's been my 'base of
operations' for the last couple of weeks.

Speaking of which--there are some REALLY good ones out there
now. The newer letterboxes are carving some amazing stamps
right out of the starting gate, and the older letterboxers have
improved dramaticly.

I'm itching to the the Movie Mystery box, but I've needed access to
a computer that can play it! =)

Ho hum, ho hum....
