Does the data include boxes that have been recently found but not "checked on" specifically?? I see some on there that I know have been found recently.

I was wondering what that meant. Sounds good. Thanks guys. Hoping daisyflower and I can escape up there again really soon! The German kitty is definitely on my list. Thanks Hawkeye!!

OK, OK, Is it that I just can not see "The German kitty"?

Thank you. I did not get that was the name of the box the first time. Doh!

does anyone still check this board? anyone want to night box this friday night?

Still check the board but wont be in town this Friday. Hope you meet up with another boxer and have a great time!

CR

Always follow this board. But I planted most of them so I can not find them. :) Bet some one will go with ya!

haven't had any takers. i'll try again soon. have a great friday everyone!

Next time try the ga board...

Say early November 2019...called either "day of the dead" or "bring out your dead" with a temporary series with clues released only after a day of box first aid for existing boxes?
Advice/concerns most appreciated, co-host(s) very much desired, talented carvers absolutely needed. In exchange you may park at my house (3 blocks from the west gate ) and never pay to enter the park again (at least not for the walk up trail side of the park)

I’m interested...

I don't carve, but I can help with maintenance.

Yay! Pretty sure I couldn't do it with out you both. Can either of y'all think of local planters that I should contact first?
I'm pretty sure Bebo Bear is okay with it, but I haven't gotten t-rex, brew hiker, or runs for beer on board yet, and they are such prolific planters that it wouldn't make sense to do this without there consent...who am I missing?

It can be managed without consent, by controlling who is maintaining which boxes. The last time we did it, we set up lists that limited each person helping with the maintenance to boxes they had already found. That way, they knew where the boxes were (at least in general terms) and we weren't giving away any secrets.

Agreed Artemis! Good point!

If I'm able to drive down, I don't mind coming to help. It's a worthy endeavor and I know many appreciate the effort and motivation. I can carve too but honestly, if it's for box maintenance, you may only want to have an event box b/c otherwise it's just too much to plan coverage to coordinate for folks that haven't already found boxes. We had a load of very experienced SMP'ers and still only scratched the surface.

I guess you'll need to ask yourself the motivation. If it's just for servicing the boxes existing at the park, you really should try to have folks maintaining in areas they've found boxes for so they know what to look for and if something isn't right. If it's for finding new boxes, you could have a few locals plan a guided hike and bring maintenance supplies so that can be found and maintained but you are only focusing on smaller areas per outing. Over the years, guided hikes helped me a TON when it came to boxing at the rock.

I like the November idea? MUCH more doable considering heat and humidity. Either way, your initiative is much appreciated and I will help out if I can get there in any way you need as I'm sure many others would as well.

Awesome.
I think we have decided to plant a series (probably outside the park) and give out the clues at the end of the official event (if folks want to informal gather the next day to look for new boxes great, if not that's okay too) after a year we will post the clues for everybody who didn't get to the gathering. Defitnately still trying to figure out logistics, and I need to get to a gathering or 8 for sure.

There are some old boxes of mine that are on my list to remove anyway.

If there are boxes you do want checked let me know, otherwise I'm likely to omit them from the checklist. (Although folks who have already found the boxes may chose to vist them them during the event)

If they are still active and not marked as retired - sure, go ahead and check on them if you want.

Cool- I havnt had much luck finding yours yet, but I bet hawkeye, and buttercup have.

Just checking the water temp.? Anyone interested?

Nothing big. Potluck, camaraderie and socialization with some new boxes to hunt of course. Been over 10 years since there was an event at the park

I’m in

We might be able to add ourselves to the list of attendees. If you make it they will come.

I have a couple of boxes need planting. Do you need a HIPS box? Yeah, that one.

I have heard people think this is long and hard. So, I was wondering if there would be interest In a "guided tour" meet. I know I missed a turn without my clues. Any takers??

Brown Cow and I had planned on getting this series last week but heavy rain forced us to cancel. We still want to get these when our schedules allow. Would be fun to have a guided tour.

What boxes are you talking about? We're hoping to be back soon.

This is a series of mine at Tribble Mill not Stone Mtn. The trails are not blazed and you must follow the directions to stay on correct one. I was seeing about a small meet for "tour" . Out the post on "The Big Rock" because same group of folk would be doing either area. Just something informal.
