Why you should check LbNA before you head out to box

You might find a series of boxes that nobody has found in 8.5 years! In Connecticut, of all places!

For those who are curious, the series is Scarborough in Patchaug, in North Stonington. I'll add comments about the series when LbNA is back up.

I just checked, and The Compass Cuties haven't logged in to AQ in 3.5 years. :^(

But yes, it was absolutely the highlight of our day! And the hikes, though fairly short, were pretty and also interesting.

Here's the link to the series, along with my comments.

When I saw this part:

Pack a lunch or snacks for a good 2-3 hr "Tour" with a little stamping, sight seeing and browsing.

I was thinking of another 3 hour tour, a three hour tour. My problem is deciding where to plant such a series. I've got an island I can use, but how many letterboxers will be willing to charter a boat, with the risk of "the weather [...] getting rough"? Perhaps someone with a "fearless crew".

Thanks for letting me know! I'll ask Choi if he can make them visible, since the owner is inactive.

The part about "comments" was quoting from the post I was replying to. However, because you wrote "smile" I'm thinking that you know that and are just having a little fun. I'm also smiling right now.

uneksia (or anyone else), before I contact Choi, could you please confirm that if you're logged in to LbNA and look at the box listing, my comment doesn't appear after you click Status? Thanks!

hummm......... if i login and click on the link it shows me as logged out. if i login again it doesn't stay on that page and so clicking the link again just logs me out again. if i copy and paste the link and use when i am logged in it still does not show me the comments. if i search for the clue by name and go to it that way it will show me the comments. must be a glitch or error somewhere.

I remember having this problem a while ago- I'm almost positive that deleting cookies fixed it.

Yup, and I just found a box listed only on LbNA in Connecticut that had not been found in six years, and it had a hitchhiker trapped inside all those years.
