[pct-l] question on marking boxes

[montypct]

Same
At Kennedy Meadows, after they looked twice, I found 3 or 4 of mine and 
Not-a Moose's boxes by looking myself.
Bright Pink Flourescent Spray paint on White Priority boxes.
I also taped a color sample to the back of my driver's licence.
Many of those looking for the boxes were grateful and some even thanked me.

Most of all i was grateful
