Found #2 just as described - still tucked away, logbook is wet - wish I had brought a fresh book and baggie. Tried #1 and #3 - found both locations and looked diligently - appear to be gone.

Thanks for helping me explore this nice park more than I previously had. Found the location, but sadly Box #1 wasn't there. Box 2 is damp, but happily still there! Added a new baggie on #2. Unable to find #3 today.

Logbook 3 is still full but added some paper for a few more stamps. Couldn't find 4,5, or 6. Found the tree for 5 and dug around pretty good around base, but didn't see it. Beautiful park!

Logbook for #3 is completely full. #5 was a film canister in a plastic bag only. #1 and #2 were dry and in good shape.

Boxes are in DIRE need of maintenance. Water has gotten into all but 1 of the 4 that we found. 2 were missing and Box 5's logbook is mushy wood pulp it's so soaked. I had run out of replacement items, or I would have tended to this for you.

Also meant to include...there is a letterbox at #4. I'm not sure it was originally part of the series or not. But there is one there in the location mentioned- even though it's listed as retired.

Box 1 log book is full, 2 & 5 are very wet. Pretty much ruined:(
We couldn't find box 6 but we were tired so we could have just overlooked it.
Loooove this series! My kids and I picked a perfect weekend and just enjoyed ourselves completely.
Beautiful AL carvings:). Thanks for sharing!

I was bummed that my little assistants were too tired to finish the series, but we all enjoyed the three we found. Box #2 has a wet logbook and the box seems a little iffy. Thanks for the fun!

It took me two years to return to find the last box now that it has been replanted. A beautiful fall day with many colorful leaves!

This was my first attempt and I found it all quite fascinating. I look forward to finding more and creating my own. Some were almost ruined due to water damage.
