In January, no less!
So, all this talk of 'findability,' along with a missing box report, prompted Obimaster and myself to do a little boxing and box-maintenance in the winter sunshine. Excellent life choice! Getting outside in the fresh air and into the company of trees, feeling the soft trail beneath your feet, is something I highly recommend.
First, to check on those missing boxes - yep, sure enough they were gone. Boo. And I certainly appreciate the heads-up by a responsible boxer. Even though I was disappointed at their disappearance, it does give me the opportunity to re-carve and replant, hopefully better this time. Always in search of a better hiding place. We also checked in with Kurt to replace the full log; this place ALWAYS has visitors. Amazing because it is out the way, tucked back in his old neighborhood.
And then a sad discovery - one of my newer favorites was gone. It was a HIPS (hide in plain sight) box. That type of box can go missing rather quickly sometimes, but other times they seem to hang around indefinitely. Thankfully, this one had quite a few finders, so I feel alright to retire it. Besides, I have an idea for another HIPS box not to far from the location of the missing box. Keep watch as I continue my quest to lure boxers out to the Washington Coast!
In the midst of all those discoveries, we decided to snag some drive-bys along a stretch of highway we had not explored before. It was a fruitfully sunny endeavor, I am happy to say. I snapped a few pics you may enjoy:

| Easy planting always leads us to cemeteries, but they are beautifully peaceful |
 |
| Historic cemeteries are interesting; bonus points if the box is focused on a particular person or aspect within the cemetery |
 |
| I love trees, and cemeteries sometimes have giants! |
