I said to replace the whisker value with the hinge value:

maumnf_plot<-boxplot(log_loads~ind,data=nfmaum )
# only need the data to get the stats

maumnf_plot$stats[1,] <- maumnf_plot$stats[2,]
# Replaced whisker row with hinge row
# The graphics arguments to bxp need to be in the second call. 
# They won't be carried over from the sats

bxp(maumnf_plot, , horizontal=TRUE, notch=T, outline=FALSE, whisker=0, 
main="Maumee River Near Future Climate Scenarios", ylab="Log 
Load",xlab="Climate Scenarios")
