I found it. That box has restrictions on it which means only people who have a certain number of finds or a certain number of plants can see the listing. Premium members can record finds on boxes that are not listed. On special days called hat days, when the theme page shows nothing but hats, everyone gets the privilege to record finds on unlisted boxes but those days have become very random and very rare.

Welcome to letterboxing!! Read through the info for lots of helpful guidance on the best practices of finding boxes and planting boxes. As Wronghat has said, the box you found can only be seen and logged when you have a bit of experience. Meanwhile, enjoy finding 'unrestricted' boxes, plant a few of your own, and log them as you go. Before you know it, you will be able to see additional boxes. Have fun!!

The last person that looked for that box couldn't find it, so you must have good eyes! Welcome to letterboxing!

She evidently found it by accident. That probably means it wasn't in its hiding spot. And for those of us familiar with Providence Canyon, that's a pretty daunting thought; it could have washed downhill and downstream from its hiding spot!

I'd suggest that the box owner should forward the text of the clues to this finder to confirm where it actually is.

Welcome to letterboxing! I did plant that series with restrictions but since you found the only surviving box (I actually thought that one was gone too) I'll take them off so you can log your find. Thanks for reaching out to the community for help. Happy hunting!
