You can set how long they show for you with the "Oldest boxes to display" in your widget. Click the pencil to customize it.

If there are ‘No New Boxes’ to list, why not leave the last new boxes up for an extra week at least, or until Newer boxes pop up ?
I see lots of boxes listed in the Newest Boxes list on the Home page. If you want to see more on the My Page widget, though, you can edit that to your heart's content. Expand the location to show all boxes instead of boxes just in your region, or include boxes for longer periods of time (although 99 days is the limit), or whatever. It's really up to you!
If you want boxes to show up in the list longer because they "get taken down so fast", just expand the time frame for them to show up and maybe expand the list to include more boxes.

Is anyone else who attended back then still active besides you, me, and Baby Bear?
Corazon was there and I think she is still active since she is signed up for TALE 23.
A lot of good boxes were lost in that Bastrop fire, but the ones I miss the most were the O-Knots series by Eoghan. You had to use an orienteering map purchased at the park to find them near certain control markers. I remember driving from Sugar Land two separate times before I found all four and I was ecstatic! They were a right of passage for Baby Bear and I in the early days, along with the Wraith of the Woods box Eoghan also placed. I've always lamented the fact I never met him.

That's so cool, I love stuff like this. We were so impressed with you and your organization at the TALE we attended. So nice to see you had it together even way back then.
Stans is gone, but the building is still there (according to Google Street View):

I have just started “Obitchuary:The Big Hot Book of Death”, by podcasters Spencer Henry and Madison Reyes.
Fascinating and at times a little stomach turning but always informative with plenty of humor thrown in.
It comes for all of us. Might as well have a few laughs about it.

>>I forgot about the ice!! I FOUND all 6 but could only get 3. It was so frustrating. I could SEE them, but unable to dig them out.
Generally after a hike of a mile or two, you'll have a supply of warm fluid for melting ice handy.

It was a "Word of Mouth" box.. just had to ask for it after the presentation.
Are you familiar with Homer Lake? Presently the Interpretive Nature Center is being remodeled so we were able to meet at the Salt Fork Center which is a beautiful building many ppl rent for weddings and family groups.
If you do plan to be out this way near Homer Lake or St. Joseph, I can meet you with the box.

Thanks for posting this! I'm one of those dummies that thought, "Okay, Crown Hill Cemetery's open in the winter! So the letterboxes here are snow-friendly."
My apologies to folks I've annoyed and I'll be going through my boxes to label them with a bit more common sense. :)

Good morning Georgia!
A quick note to say THANK YOU for the Stone Mountain hospitality! We are home now, unpacked yet still have a smile on the face. This had to have been one of the most epic 4 days of boxing I’ve ever experienced. It had Everything from the scenery to the trails to the carves to the planters to the new friends we made. Ok we could have gone without the 23° weather but the upside to the freezing temps was no ticks or mosquitoes 🦟 and it proved there is still a lil bit of mettle left in these bones. To anyone who is even remotely interested in making the pilgrimage to Stone Mountain, just do it!

Has anyone heard of the events where a dog or cat adopts a human, not the other way around? I keep seeing it on YouTube and it's so uplifting!! Most of the animals are rescues from bad homes or found in a bad situation. When they find their human, they all, pretty much, do the same thing... jump on laps and give big hugs ♡
I love the idea in general and would love to find out more info on who the companies are and where they hold the events ♡♡♡
