Comments: Tried unsuccessfully to find these two boxes. Really didn't think they'd be there, since there were so many "attempted" listings on LbNA and no finds. I really wish that planters would update their clues or archive the boxes when the boxes go missing or they decide not to be active letterboxers anymore. Very annoying!

Comments: Very cool stamp! Found this one on our second attempt. Someone found this box last week on the same day we were looking for it. We originally thought the hiding place was frozen, but it turns out that place wasn't the right place after all. We did look in the place that it really was too, but it wasn't there last week. So, now we think that the box was "checked out" when we were there looking for it. Had to come back for Lovebirds and Laika anyway so no big deal. Great stamp. Worth the return trip.

Comments: Awesome stamp carving! Again, second attempt for this one. We followed the wrong set of trail numbers for this one. Dumb! We met a cool Bull Mastiff while stamping in. Lots of people here today.

Comments: Found it! Second attempt for this one, but we succeeded, finally. Helps if you follow the right trail! That's what we get for trying to "cheat" and find multiple boxes at the same time. Made a bad assumption and suffered for it. Very cool carving! Worth the second trip.

Comments: Another lesson for us about reading clues. This time we took them too literally and got off track. Eventually found the right place. Very sloppy, muddy spring day. Also tried to find Lovebirds, Laika and Strongheart boxes today, but no luck. We were trying to find all three of these boxes simultaneously. That didn't work out so well. We accidentally followed the wrong trail numbers for Lovebirds and Laika and couldn't find the right places. The place that we thought the Strongheart box was hidden was still frozen solid and we couldn't get in.

Comments: Awesome stamp! I really gotta learn to read clues better! I missed a major one and started from the wrong place. Found a weird tree with a bunch of shoes thrown into it. We eventually found the right starting point and found the box. Nice walk. Check out the sweet trees back here when you go. Very interesting! I don't think I've ever seen these kind of trees before. I don't know what they are, but they're cool looking.

Comments: Nice, easy find. Hugest box and baggie I ever saw! Saw a corner of the plastic bag sticking out, pulled it and it kept coming, and coming and coming! Half expected it to start changing colors and have a big red nosed clown attached to the end. Hard to be steathly with this one! LOL Luckily no one came by!

Comments: Very cool stamp! Another set of trails I didn't know about. I don't know what trillium looks like and I don't think it was out at the time of year that we were there, but we found it anyway. It was a little hard to figure this one out.

Comments: I found this box by myself and I was the first finder. Yeah! It is at an establishment and you have to figure out where that place is, so it's kind of a mystery box. Very nice stamp and the place sells an excellent "live" version of this stamp. Yumm. If you go check out this box, go to the pasty place across the street and slightly east and say hi to my friend Andres. Buy some of the Yooper specials for dinner!

Comments: Very cool stamp! We had to fight a garter snake for this box. Had a little trouble finding it, but the clues were very fun and inventive. This box was completely flooded when we found it! Stamp was cracking pretty bad, too. Lukcily, the log book was still dry and safe! We did our best to clean up the box.

Comments: This was my first find! I'm very proud of this find because it is a mystery box. The clues are pretty much all pictures. We found this box at a completely different time of year than the time it was planted. The area looked much different with the plant growth so it was hard to find some of the land marks. Had to brave poison ivy and patrolling police cars for this box.
