I have no idea what to do

A woman posted on a lb Facebook page I follow that she had found a lb that belonged to someone whose trail name was birder, and who has passed away. She's anxious to try to get the stamp to someone in birder's family somehow, but I have no idea what to do! Any ideas or suggestions?

Has the family expressed specific interest in getting it back? Because if not, having it remain in the wild seems a much more fitting memorial to me.

I don't know, but she said she wants to make sure no one wants it before she puts it back.

She found it in Oregon, and she took it home with her to Arkansas. They were traveling and she didn't have enough time to do anything with it.

Is there a reason she removed it? I mean is she new and thought she was suppose to move the box? Just wondering...

I happened upon that post as well. It appears that the person found this box along with a hitchhiker. It was not in good condition (broken container if I recall correctly) and she took it with her from Oregon to Arkansas, temporarily forgot about it, and then 'rediscovered' it. Perhaps they would be willing to ship it out to another letterboxer. Maybe you could post on the Oregon board to see if anyone would be willing to replant it. It seems the owner is still active as well.

Calli k has assumed ownership of Birders boxes. I would get a hold of her.

Just curious, how did the issue resolve?
