Single Plant or a Series??

Hello! We are planning a small road trip to cover a few different states. We wanted to plant a stamp specific to our state in each of the states we visit. What is the best way to log these stamps? I saw one person created a series for theirs and another created a new log for each. Thank you for your help!

I'd do a new log and listing for each per AQ definition of series: https://www.atlasquest.com/about/glossary/s.html#series

When listing a letterbox, a series is only a group of letterboxes that you would expect people to get in a single outing

Shutterbug 2012 just traveled east from Arizona and labelled her visit stamps Picture: Statename but each had a separate listing and a separate log. Snakedoctors' are all labeled as Flitting through.... but each has a separate listing and log. Teepee-AZ did the same and labeled hers "Greeting from Sunny Arizona: State Name" https://www.atlasquest.com/results.html?typeId=1;name=Greetings+from+Sunny+Arizona;sort=1;title=Planet+Earth;rad=15

If you want the box to show up in an area search, then each one needs a separate listing, and therefore, a separate location. If they can't be found in an area search, then very few people will find them.
Wronghat's naming suggestion will work just fine to tie them together as a group.

On AQ they should be listed as separate boxes. I had a similar situation with my boxes along the New England Trail, and put all the clues on one page, with the AQ listings separate for each. Everytime someone clicks on a clue link, they are brought to the page showing all the clues, so they understand it's a series of boxes. http://boxingthenet.blogspot.com/p/clues.html
