Description

As many of you know we lost a dear member of our letterboxing community this year. Preboxed was well known for her witty banter on the boards, her trademarked Snort and for promoting urban plants. Her birthday was April Fools Day, a holiday which she embraced. In memorial to her, I thought it would be a great idea to plant urban boxes across the country and beyond or her birthday. There aren't too many rules here. Try to plant and list your box on April 1, 2011 (or close to that date). It must be an urban plant. The theme could be anything; but, I think it would be nice if it was themed on something pre liked or that reminds you of her. She loved to make you work for her boxes, so harder clues would really make her smile.

Sep 23, 2010: A Message from Pre's Family
*Pre's family posted this message on the boards in regards to this event. I thought it would be a good idea to add it to the tracker for those who are trying to decide how best to honor her memory with their plants.

Pre's passions included: jesters/jokers, geography, urban quirks and obscure history, lesser known, off-the-beaten-track places, and of course, tough clues with double entendres, and humor!

Thanks to all who are honoring her in this way - she would be proud to know of it.

-Eric and Milo (Pre's brother and nephew)
