Well, yet another one of our boxes has gone missing. This time a series. Two of the four boxes of the series "Around The Campfire" went missing almost immediately. We finally were able to get out there and check for ourselves. We decided to retire the series(never did get to look at the log book). Just wanted you all know in case someone was planning to go for them this weekend. Thanks to all who went and got or attempted to get them.

That's disappointing. I'm sorry to hear that. I've only had a go at one of your boxes (Smells like low tide) Obviously, I haven't found it yet, but at least I'm in good company! LOL.

We did get to get two of them. Sorry for your loss. We just lost a box and I was PO'd. So much work goes into them. Kris

Yeah, I also just lost two boxes of a series where the boxes keep going missing. It's a very difficult park to hide in, and I was going to just retire the boxes and all the sudden I got a blue diamond - my only ones, so what heck do I do now, retire or recarve? One of the boxes has actually gone missing once before and I rehid it in a different spot. I found the stamp lying in the woods a few months after it went missing the first time. So I think I have that...somewhere...

Sorry for your loss. The kids and I got two of them, while we were camping. They get really disapointed when boxes are missing. I planted a box for my siter and her dog. We were POed when I took her out to find it and it was gone.

We found three of them on July 19th. We did find the log book though. It was a fun series that we really enjoyed. Sorry about them being missing.

You said you were not sure what to do with the series that is partially missing, but now has a blue diamond. If the log book is still there, I would only retire the missing ones. We decided to retire our series because the box with the log book is now missing.

I agreed with you 100 percent. A lot of work goes into a box as well as a handmade crochet Boxing Buddy. A person really can get PO'd when they think about the host not sending their Shirley Temple BB back.
A year has almost come and gone since you received Shirley Temple.
What did you do with her?
