Well, sometimes rules are more fun when they're broken...

Being mostly an urban guy, distance doesn't become a factor (unless you're within 10 feet of a geocache).

This summer, I liked a location of a box so much, and knew the letterboxer, that I planted an entirely different one about 5 feet directly above hers, but completely out of sight, and unlikely to be accidentally discovered.

She was cool with that. Our reasoning was that we wanted to attract more folks to to this really neat geologically unique spot.

Hey, never let it be said that I won't let a guy be the top. :)

Seriously, the place is so cool and so easy to get to that I like sharing it with others. I figure more people to sign MY book as well! Besides, my stamp is so plain (since it was carved on the trail) that they deserve a better looking stamp such as yours for their trouble! lol

Little Falls actually has a lot of cool things going for it so it might be a nice place to have an event. Hey, did you ever make that Herkimer Diamond box?
