Hi Doubtful Guests! We found the National Geographic letterbox safe and
sound (and very curly inside) this afternoon. As I mentioned earlier, I
think people may be confused as to which boxes to count, those along the
wall or the square tiles on the ground. Counting either one brings you
close to a junction box and a grate. We chose the wrong set to count twice
and found only a little hole dug under the box. However, upon counting the
other squares, we found a second junction box and the letterbox safely and
more cleanly underneath. I think this location is better than the other
"counterfeit" dug up one anyway as this one is by "plant material" which
would not be changed as often as that by the wrong one. Trying to make
sense without giving too much away! (however, the offer still stands to
have ANYONE tell us where the Froggy boxes 1 and 3 or the Glencarlyn dog
park boxes are!...) BeMa
