Well, I have finally installed my latest box. Actually, my husband did the installing. I have been working on this one for over a year. I found the location and it just asked me to put a box there. Nelson and I immediately knew where and how to install this one. I knew exactly which cipher I wanted to use to encode the clue. I knew exactly what to carve. I transferred my image to my PZKut and it sat on my desk for 8 months. I was totally intimidated by it. Thankfully, in the meantime, I went to St. Louis for the LBCon and took an excellent needle carving class by RaqsEnigma. After completing a few stamps by needle carving, this stamp didn't look so intimidating anymore.
Once the stamp was done, I was ready to find the right container and logbook. Wouldn't you know it, but that week's mail brought my NC Treasure Hikers raffle prize. Inside was the perfectly sized Lock N Lock and logbook! I assembled it all, and handed it over to Nelson. He took it from there and with my dad as lookout, installed the box yesterday.
Sometimes I push too hard to do things too quickly. I get impatient when I'm excited. I'm glad I took my time with this one. It's one of my favorites.

No sense in rushing a good box. Sometimes they take a while to get just right. I know what you went through! "X"
