Leaving things behind

Top Secret!

I’m not sure what part about being “told off” by newbies (and others..) has been MOST offensive lately and exactly, but here are a few to pick from:

The watching “them” plop down right in front of pre for the very First Time in-person, by way of "introducing themselves", then asking/demanding more info about one of my private boxes (labeled as such, I might add…) right in front of a group of a folks (and pre!) at a gathering/meet...that I spent hours and hours putting together or arranging to attend…

Or the subsequent names I have been called when I said no because it was clear that the concept of keeping secrets is a foreign one.

Or the insistence that I don’t PREtend to know my history, etiquette, relationships about this hobby…

Or that I didn’t know it was supposed to be FUN! Hellloooo!?!?

Or that I haven’t purposefully set up experiments to see who is Paying Attention…

Without placers of letterboxes, there is is NO Game!

At this writing, I have the most fun as a Placer (put YOUR creativity into the game and some more fun might be around!)

PREsents to be enjoyed…by myself, firstly, and to be amused by others secondly. It’s ok, I can wait….

If you want to play along…Or not… Dat's how pre plays the Game....

Welcome to Pre In A Box

...in a box, in a box, in a box.

Scavenging for Yummies

From the green dumpster near the Shelter, spot the boulders at 80 degrees.

Hunting and Gathering

Sometimes the thrill of finding a clue surpasses that of finding the box!

Hey Guv

From where the second picture is taken, look left for another bench.

Then beyond and below it, look under the 6th stone "step" from the bottom (south) of the "stairway" not too far from the tall wall which runs N/S.

Look in the gap behind a small brick piece and a handful of small stones (leaves also tend to collect naturally here.)



















The clues for this box are restricted (congrats for finding them.) You may not share them or discuss this box! Shhhhhhh!

This is a VERY urban box, with security cameras in the area. Plan on sufficient time to wait out your moment and consider bringing some kind of diversion technique with you.


If you can't or won't exercise EXTREME caution and stealthiness, as well as keep my secrets, please DO NOT attempt this box.

Camo mini box (about 4"x4"). Two handmade stamps and handmade logbook. No ink or pen in box.

One's 'boxing etiquette, trail behavior and participation are ALWAYS being observed, don't ya know.

How you doing? (enter Joey voice if you must)

Getting Lost

I can't believe Pittsburgh, PA isn't on this list!
