Today Carter wanted to try his hand at carving (a scary proposition for a 5 year old!) but he had fun and didn't chop any fingers off! He wants to plant "his letterbox", which is so cute. i'm trying to decide how to put it out there for people to find, but not have them disappointed to find a stamp carved by a five year old!
Also today, we realized there was a geocache just down the street from our house and we decided to go look for it (our first "geocaching outing" without any coordinates or a GPS and found it! woohoo!
We also went to check on a box we'd planted not even a month ago...one we really liked in a cool place ("A Prickly Spot") and it's nowhere to be found. I know everyone who plants experiences this, but it doesn't make it any less sucky. Not sure what happened to it, but the last time i checked on it, the most recent finder hadn't done a very good job of rehiding it, which is really annoying. not sure if that happened again or what, but very disappointing. We also came to the realization that a box we planted in Frisco, Colorado ("Are There Bears Out There?") has gone missing as well. We'd hoped that the first person to email about not finding it was just in the wrong place, but shortly after two more said the same thing, so i'm sure it's gone. we changed the status on both of these to retired. Sand ending to a couple fun plants. We hope they were fun for the few people that had a chance to find them.

Hey Sha,
I know what you mean - it is sucky when one of your boxes goes missing. Each of my boxes has a special meaning losing a box is never easy. But please don't give up or let it get to you. I hope to get to the Waco area to find more of your great boxes.

I once had a box last less than 24 hours. That was definitely a low-water mark.
Sometimes, you realize that you've made a poor choice in some ways...others it's just the bad luck of the draw.
Keep at it. We definitely would like a trip to Waco to find some of your boxes.

Missing boxes are always disappointing, even though I have come to semi-expect it. My Canyon Oasis box on Canyon Rd. just went missing because they redid the ancient stone wall it was placed next to. No fair!! That wall was there forever!! ;-)
Anyway, glad to hear Carter is carving, that's terrific.

With the way "Dr. Hogg" hides geocaches in Waco, I bet there are several more right down the street from you =)
