Speaking only to my experience, getting our find count up, opened up a lot of boxes (relatively speaking). One required 100 finds.

We keep our restrictions very low usually in the 2-5 range.

Well, I’m not worrying so much as curious. 😊

Local folks: If anyone was waiting to find the Sesame Street series in Hopkinton until after I fixed the problems, it's all set! After work today, I glued the two broken stamps to foam backing, and I also moved the Big Bird box to a different intersection that should be easier to find. (The previous intersection's location on the map didn't seem to match reality very well.)

Also, Troop 80085 recently worked on their Plant Science Merit Badge at the same location, so you may want to look for those boxes, too. I'm sure the boys (Willy, Peter, Rod, Dick, and Frank) would appreciate your support!

But, don't any restrictions at all remove it for contention for a purple diamond?

Very true:

Also, any restrictions at all remove a letterbox from participating in the state counts for PAL day.

Great!! My sister and niece live about 10 mins from Hopkinton so we'll get these on my next trip north!

We were traveling and happened to be in Las Vegas. We were able to make it to their third event of the day at New York-New York. Ridiculous security and police (in riot gear) presence but mostly they stayed out of the way. The rest of us enjoyed being together, engaging walkers and drivers passing by, and seeing everyone’s great signs (and costumes!). It was good to be with people who were like-minded and helped us not to feel so isolated.

If I understand correctly, no BOTW for a box or series which is restricted to AQ members only? Really disagree with this nonsense. if true. No more BOTW for us now! Oh well.

Not really relevant to the thread, but yes.

If your niece is little, you may want to read the troop’s clues first. Those boys are a bit naughty! Their stamps are always G-rated, though.

We are going to a show next week. I think it may be hard to hide there. Grounds are very open and there are so many people. Maybe a microbox?

Look at your AQ mail.

Remembering the massacre in Las Vegas a few years ago, it's no wonder.

Over time there have been a number of boxes on the east side of Lancaster - check also LBNA - but it's been a few years since I last checked.

Saw this earlier today. How bizarre. Can you imagine walking down there to fish and running into McCartney? No one would EVER believe you.

How random! I wonder how many folks DID come across him there ....

I live 2.5 hours south and am ALWAYS begging people to come here...or I can go there to letterbox!!
~SD~

You are probably correct...it just seemed overwhelming after we've been to so many protests and not seen any police.

Love it! Maybe that's all it is, Portland's froggy resistance! 💚

We keep our plant restriction under 12 and find restriction depends. We have used the dates we have planted boxes as restrictions. One of ours does have a F 100, P 100 restriction.

Do you mean like if the planting date is 10/24, you might set the restriction to boxers with 10 plants and 24 finds?

yes. & keeping plants at 12 or less lets a boxer we know in the area find the box since they have only planted 12 boxes.

The Marketing Dept where I work.. no, really, the ACTUAL Marketing Dept... must have had some sort of temporary mental incapacitation. They asked ME to put together a couple of "promotional videos" for a Trade Show I will be attending next week, and post them on LinkedIn.

They have nobody to blame but themselves. And me.

So now you (LinkedIn users) get to suffer as well:

Thanks for sharing. It seems like a safe bet that your videos are much, much more exciting than the product info that people will receive in Vegas.

I've never understood how marketing makes people want to buy or attend things just because some celebrity or humorous actor tells them to, but your promotion made a believer out of me. Wassa and Vegas, what could go wrong!

That is much too sane for what we expect from our fearless moose. ;-)

How did I know it would involve fire??!! At least it wasn't your nipples this time 😂😂

You are on fire, Wassa (as usual). I bet your booth will be flush with visitors.

I wanna go just to meet that handsome hunk in the video! =)
