rich5665 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 According to USPS Tracking the Box should be in the hands of af_tier. I haven't heard anything yet from him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rich5665 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 I think it is official. The Mystery Box has met it's demise. The box landed in California and according to tracking was delivered to the first name on the list. But I have not heard anything. This makes it the Third box to "Vanish". I'm now at a loss as to what to do. We had two new swappers that added some really great flies to the box. I was hesitant to send the box out fearing it would disappear. At this point I think I'm going to close the Mystery Box Revival for now. The cost to those who have contributed flies to the three lost boxes is not worth a fourth box being created stocked and then lost. If some one else wishes to try again please be my guest, the idea is a great one. Sorry Pat I tried to keep the swap going but fate had other plans. Trez and Mickey99 I'm sorry that you did not have a chance to get to see the flies. If for some reason the box does start to move again please keep it going and add a tracking number so we can follow it's movement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patrick carroll 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 rich I checked the date of the first entry for the "mystery swap", it was March 13, 2007!!!, so it has been running for almost 4 years. I am definitely partial to the format of this swap, and what a great group of talented tyers we had and have in this swap. A lot of dialog and fly tying sharing went on, we were certainly able to have awesome communication. hopefully, it can get up and running again. you definitely did a great job as swameister. have a good one pat carroll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AF_Tier 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Hey guys, just sent Rich a PM--Box 6 is back on the move, on it's way to Missouri I believe. I apologize for such a huge delay. Our training schedule lately has been NUTS, and coming home to a swap box kinda horrified me, once I looked at the delivery date! Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
