I am so glad I replaced the Old Boiler stamp Saturday morning.

Was the old boiler out of the water much? When I saw it after the
rains you could only see 5 rivets of it sticking up like fingertips
into the current.

The question is do you think the Old Boiler stamp location needs a
log journal? I was afraid it would be stolen so all I left was the
stamp and a note.

Enjoy,

It was pretty visible - I'd say maybe halfway?

Definately a journal! I love reading other peoples comments and
would love to see what they would have said getting to this one! Oh
no...but that would mean I'd have to go back to stamp in! drat. : )
