There's a quilt block swap going on at Atlas Quest! Liisa

Robb and I are going to test-ride a couple of recumbent trikes on Sunday. We'll be meeting up with the person who sells these at the parking lot near Sutro Heights/Cliff House. And I, of...

Hi, I just had an idea. As I mentioned in the email I just sent, I'm planning on taking Feb 5-9 off, & devoting 1 day to Letterboxing during that time. Anyone want to go with me? Last Jan, I had...

How'd I miss the annoucement of that? Was it announced here? Oh, I guess it was. Oops. Well, I've been so swamped with work for months that I guess I missed it. But, I'm finally taking some...

This, of course, makes me think of Princess Lea's excellent Lunar New Year's series. Plus, it is weird as all get-out! http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2150217.html?menu= Lisascenic

Congratulations to the TrimFam, newbie letterboxers in the Sacramento area. They were the FF's of our High Time letterbox! Great job, TrimFam. This wasn't easy with the cryptic clue given. C of...

Hi all! We want to extend a BIG thank you to those who emailed with your recommended boxes. It helped immensely when deciding on which boxes to hunt. Even though our potential finds didn't add up as...

I have friends who are serial counters. Every summer at the Opera, my assistant Sheila and I would play a silly game of "who saw more deer?" She took this way, way more seriously than I ever did. ...

Hey folks--we've been secretly planning and conniving, and that's why we've been so quiet. After many attempts on the Ravenclaw stamp of our Hogwarts series, it has indeed finally gone missing (a...

I hadn't done any letterbox finding since the Vacaville gathering until yesterday. I got over to Huckleberry Preserve in the Oakland Hills and found two of Blackbird's stamps. I messaged Blackbird,...

I've been in a bit of a funk, with regards to carving. Pressure at work, a two-week long cold, that sort of thing. But I have to say, I'm in the midst of a carving project, and I'm really really...

Sorry if this gets posted twice. I had just pushed SEND when the page timed out for some reason or another. I've waited for more than 30 minutes to see if it posts, so now I'm sending it...

Hi all, I know I've been exceptionally quiet of late, horrible project at work that is finally almost done. In my few spare moments, I notice the new(-ish) LbNA Basement link on lb.org. What...

We're hoping to go out to Lodi this weekend, and wondered if anyone might suggest some particularly tasty drive-by letterboxes for me and Robb. The only Lodi letterbox we have is Lodi...

Robb and I wish all of you joy in the New Year. Lisa (scenic) and Robb

Just wanted to know if anybody picked up my traveling letterbox, the Victoria Ship? I went to check on where I left it and it was missing, looks like someone cleaned up the area. Hope some...

Hi all! (sorry if you get this more than once, it's a multiple post) We are traveling to Phoenix this Christmas and would love your suggestions on not-to-be missed letterboxes. Here's our expected...

We've had a stamp carved and the box ready to plant for a while but no time to get out to place it. This past Sunday, we decided to put it on our "must do" list. We ran into two problems. First...

Hi Folks! Princess Lea suggested I post the announcement for this gathering here too to make sure everyone hears about it. We have a listing on Atlas Quest for this gathering, but am happy to...

Dem XXX Men and I went on a little expedition, to see if we could hop the newly erected fence that is surrounding the site of my Art Deco Oakland letterbox, and rescue my stamp. Alas, the building...

So I have a question for everyone... I recently recently ran across a situation when looking for a letterbox, and I found it completely destroyed (in this case by wildlife). I was able to identify...

Might anyone be interested in seeing the Day of the Dead show at the Oakland Museum? It closes this weekend, and I hear from an exhibitions designer that it is a really wonderful show. Lisa

Congratulations to Lisa and Robb who have new wheels. What kind? What color? How will we recognize you when you are breezing past us to the next letterbox site? After months of living...

The slow-moving letterboxing team is slightly less slow. We bought a new (to us) car, and are no longer stuck in Alameda County. Who knows? Maybe we'll even do some letterboxing, soon....

I found a place to get the lock n lock boxes. Lots of sizes to. http://www.organize-everything.com/lolofostco.html Messages...
