After leaving the Lady Bug Peak area, we continued our journey north towards the town of Safford to find the Safford Cotton letterbox. Great stamp, but odd place to hide a box.
This box caused us to have a discussion about the places that letterboxers choose to hide letterboxes.
We tend to like hunting for and placing letterboxes in unique, special, enjoyable locations. Locations that are interesting and mostly pleasant to explore.
It seems some letterboxes, a number of those we found in AZ, are placed in areas with no respite from searing heat, on non-interesting, boring walks. Or worse, in ugly, dirty, locations with nothing interesting to look at, oftentimes protected by biting, stinging, scratching, sharp plants or critters. And at the very worst, letterboxes that are placed in these types of places, but also include a very, very long walk, but could have been simple, easy drive-bys instead!
Just a few letterboxing peeves we have been festering.
