I especially agree with the "sticks behind the tree" thing (It seems I've been finding LOTS of these lately!). Really though, I'm a snob about a good clue and a great hand-carved stamp. It's my drug...my own little piece of crack. Hey! I admit it! :-) Great observations, and I too have been guilty of some and have been pulling some of my boxes because of this.

I think I agree with all of them, and yes, I'm guilty of a few, as well. Recently we've been giving these, and other points, alot more thought as we seem to find alot more poorly planted boxes and hikes. As for point 2, I think there is a linked contradiction. A 4 mile series of 4 boxes will be less popular than 4 drive-bys in the most random areas (on a map or otherwise) even if it requires driving around and about for an additional hour.

I am also guilty of having a few neglected boxes - I don't have near as many plants as you do, but some of my far-away boxes need more attention than I'm willing to give. I've retired a couple, and there are some more on the chopping block. Great observations! I agree with everything you said!

I'm glad you kept your perspective and still enjoyed the day on the trail! Sounds like a discouraging trip - but all too common findings.

We had been waiting for a lazy Sunday afternoon to go in search of it. Would love to see it brought out of retirement. Thank you for all you do.
