We have been noticing lately that when we are in hunt of a box often the
people before us are leaving the boxes exposed. Please take time to look
back where you have rehiden the box and make sure it covered. I make a point
to look from a few different angles. It not only takes the fun out of the
hunt but it puts the box in jeopardy of being discovered by non-boxers.
Thanks!

I know what you mean about the rehiding job leaving the boxes in
jeopardy. In my experience, it's not the box that shows but the
attempts at camoflaging. Sometimes you haven't even gotten to the
last clue and you can spot the pile of neatly laid sticks and bark
and rocks all in a row. I suppose the finders do the best they can
with what's at hand and they probably try to rehide it the way they
found it. But we can do better than that! If it looks phony, look
around for a bigger piece of bark or whatever to conceal the box. You
don't have to cover it exactly like you found it - you can do a
better job at it.
