Does this mean all boxes placed outside America will be delisted or just their location changed? My solution would be to change America to be the entire world.

Ooh this made my day, the only thing I love more than a rest area is a rest area with a L’box and I’m taking I-10 all the way from FL to Texas!
And good idea about our slithering ‘friends’. We only have 6 venomous snakes in FL and 2 of those are only found up in the panhandle. I definitely need to be more cautious than normal and hadn’t really thought about that. Someone, I think it was martini man was bit by a venomous snake in TX? I’ve heard the story but forgot about it till just now. Thank you for sharing that safety tidbit!!!

Oh thank you for all of this advice and insight!!! Boquillas Crossing is definitely on the radar and I’m trying to decide do I walk across or take the “ferry” across the Rio Grande! 🤣😂 Decisions decisions! But I just learned from a friend who said it is taking hours to cross the border right now because Mexico is enforcing immigration laws and it’s causing huge delays. So that’s going to be the barometer, how long will it take?
Thank you so much for the Big Hill scenic drive tip, I had no idea and appreciate the heads up.
I’ve been to TX once for XX but we flew in to Austin and really never left the area during my 4 days there. Not complaining though, that trip started my love affair with Buc-ees and I got to see the bats at dusk but I’m really looking forward to this drive and excited to see more of your beautiful state!

no boxes outside America do not have to be delisted, we just need to change their names.

I'm guessing we'd better not post the box we planted in Cuba last week or the entire site may be DOGEd.

If you happen to be a Birder, Fort Davis State Park is a great spot to view Montezuma Quail. Balmorhea State Park has a natural spring that the CCC made into a pool decades ago. It’s a great natural oasis and good spot for a dip if you go that way. Starlight Theatre (restaurant) is a good place to eat in Terlingua and don’t miss the nearby cemetery. And there’s scorpions too.

Oh you had me at natural spring! I’ll check to see if Balmorhea State Park is on my route.
After Big Bend next 2 stops are Carlsbad Caverns and if time & weather permitting, Guadalupe Mountains.
Then finally to Colorado to visit my brother.

Maybe I'll move to Australia... I'd rather be considered a descendant of a convict. Hahaha

I believe under these rules, you'd be "It America."
Buttttt... We'd need to consult our overlord because I think the current administration may make the argument that we own the moon. If that's the case, you'd just be "It Moon."
Now that I'm looking at the "About theme" page, you are already re-registered as "It Moon". Congrats!

Considering Koalas are Australian, and we can't have that.
Plus, animal names seem to be Eagles.
I guess that makes my name American Eagle.
Looks like a cease and desist order will be sent to me soon.

A Trail Name change requires much thought...but in the spirit of cooperation: perhaps Blueberry Beach shall become Redberry Beach...3 miles north of Star-Spangled Shores, where you might find a letterbox in the guardrail. Happy Trails! :-)

American Flatbread
I don't think that'll be in compliance, since flatbread originated in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus civilization. Not Great at all!

It is certainly fascinating.
(I have hit my reading about WW2 era... when did THAT happen?)
I do have some vampire smut though on hold through the library. Of all people, my ex-sailor older cousin told me about it. As he put it "I'm done with military $*^!" my response was "So you found spicy book-tock?!"
