Planted Boxes |
| These are boxes I have planted.
Some are standard boxes, while others are mystery boxes and traveling
boxes (hitch hikers and parasites). All have
been hand carved. I also have other stamps that I have created
posted here.
There are a few
general things you should know about all of my boxes:
- No boxes have ink, please bring your own.
- Most parks are pet friendly, but please check with the park before you
go.
- Park hours are typically 8AM to Sunset.
- All compass readings are to magnetic north.
- Paces are Roman Paces and counted as two steps (about five feet, give
or take).
- Not all boxes are family friendly, and nearly all take you off
trail. Please read the clues before you go and only box to your
ability.
- Have fun and be safe. Please read my waiver
of responsibility and disclaimer before setting out.

Coney Island
Mermaid
Planted: Coney
Island, NY on June 24, 2006
I went up for a day at Coney Island to
ride the rides and enjoy the famously strange Mermaid
Parade, so I
decided to plant a box in honor of all those wonderful mermaids.
This is one of my tiny micro boxes, and the scanned image here is
actually bigger then the real thing. Lots of photos of the parade
can be found HERE.
A trip report is in my Trip Reports
section.

2005 LbMA Fall Gathering Event Stamp
This is the event stamp I carved for the fall
gathering at Knoebels Amusement Resort on September 24, 2005. This
stamp was actually a lot more complex then it even looks. The
entire stamp is actually four stamps, one for each color, which you
stamp together to make a block print and thus the complete stamp. |

Bunny
Hunt Series
This is a special series of boxes
specifically geared towards the use of DVOA
Orienteering Maps, better known as "Bunny Maps" Each box
in the series is going to use a different map. Some clues will be
posted right here, while others you will have to find. Some hikes
will be easy, whiles others will be long treks through the forest.
There will also be special mystery bunny boxes where you will have to
figure out what map you are going to need to find the box. |
