This box was originally placed too close to a geocache and the stamp was mistaken for a trade item. Our bad - we didn't check for caches before planting. We have carved a new stamp and found a new, cache-free spot.
To find this box, you'll have to complete the word search below -- but you need to figure out what the word list is first! After you find all the words in the puzzle, read the unused letters, top to bottom, left to right, to find the location of the box.
General notes: The answers to the puzzle can be found online, although you'll need to access more than one site. When the answer is a number, we've indicated whether we're looking for digits or the number spelled out. The number of words and letters are indicated thusly:
(2 words-5,6) means the answer is 2 words with the first word having 5 letters and the second word 6 letters. If there is no indication, assume that the answer is one word and the number of letters or numbers is indicated by the number of underlined spaces. Hyphens and commas are indicated where pertinent. When you are searching for the words in the grid, ignore spaces, hyphens and commas.

Visual clue:
This can be a highly traveled area and you will be able to be seen by non-boxers. Please be stealthy and sensitive to the safety of the box when retrieving and replacing. You will be able to return to your car to stamp in, and we advise doing so in order to hide the box's location.
All the usual warnings apply regarding checking for flora and fauna before reaching for boxes. Please reseal bags and box completely to keep the logbook from getting wet, and rehide better than found so that the box is completely hidden from view and will still be safely hidden when the next boxer hunts it. If you box with kids, *please* supervise them in these activities so they can learn good boxing ettiquette.
Enjoy, and please let us know about your experience.
