Box Tracking
This page is set up to coordinate tracking TGIMBOEJ boxes on their trip across the internets. That is, where ever a box goes it leaves a trail of blog posts and pictures. Here, we collect and track the progress of boxes across time and space.
When updating the history of any individual box, please include your name (possibly with a link to your site), location, and the date. New boxes should be added at the top of the list.
