Letterboxing Northern California - Yahoo Groups Archive

We've had several notifications that the box and stamp is missing from the Eastern Waterfall Series Box #4 (Tribal Falls). Gary Kat carved another stamp, just in case, and we headed out to check on...

I will make a dozen or so log books and donate a few containers for prizes, and I could be persuaded to throw in a roll of camo tape as a grand prize. I will wait and see what others may volunteer...

We're a bit "wishy-washy". We agree that Bay Area Shoreline Shindig (BASS) is great but are also considering the carving possibilities of using Hot August Nights and Hot August Delights ....cars,...

Hi all, Scratch that part about not hearing from anyone for volunteering - Kathy has offered repeatedly to help out, so I've asked her to work on heading up the Potluck. Hopefully she'll be able to...

Sing it to the tune of the Otis Redding song: Boxin' in the mornin' sun I'll be boxin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm...

Just read in our local paper that the location of our Proud Poultry Mystery Box is to be closed early in 2007. If you've been thinking about looking for it, better do so soon! Several of our...

Hey Northern Californians, I just planted my first letterbox - Cicada! I hope some of you can swing by and check it out. If you have any suggestions for improvement, let me know. Kathy Team...

Princess Lea made the suggestion of an embroidered patch for our list. I think this is a great idea. I still keep meaning to get my LbNA & merit patches, but haven't gotten around to it. ...

If there's another LB gathering on the same day, with possibly a similar theme, how about we do an event stamp exchange with the other gathering. Either each gathering would make 2 copies of the...

we're talking about names for the big event... how about: urbal essences (a completely organic experience!) urbaLB or how about something referencing oakland's fine sports teams the a's or the...

I understand the concerns around planting in an urban setting that one isn't familiar with; will it stay, what will happen to my stamp (hard work/time/effort), etc. But what about the urban boxes...

I was coming up with names for the gathering this morning, maybe someone can spin off and make one more cool? Oh, and these were inspired by the "think like stealthy urban 'boxers" comment. --Urb'...

Hi all, Looks like there are lots of varying opinions... so in lieu of an executive decision, I created another poll: http://www.ballot-box.net/service/poll.view.php?poll=70711 This is just one...

I'm short on time today but wanted to throw this out there: Lea makes a good point about trees and hiding spots, and especially the longevity of boxes and being able to leave them somewhere. I love...

Totally out of the blue, we offer an alternative theme for the gathering. Bump City Boxing Celebration - AKA BC2 One of Oakland's nicknames is Bump City. This would allow for boxes on any Oakland...

How was the Stargazers Gathering? Nothing short of stellar, of course! About 90 miles east of Portland, OR, this venue was decidedly out in the boonies begging the querry, "Where in the Sam Hill...

In checking the "Events" column at Atlas Quest, I see there is a "Dog Days" gathering in Michigan on the very weekend ours is scheduled in Oakland. Perhaps if we change the spelling/name to "Dog...

Hi all, This is a completely off topic post, but as we are all craft-oriented here, I thought some of you might appreciate this: There is a bead artist named Anne Choi who works in silver. ...

Hi all, I promised news soon about our August gathering. I'd like to go ahead and finalize the date as Sunday, August 27! I'm also going to take Doublesaj & Old Blue's excellent suggestion and...

My doc has encouraged me to get out more, and I've fallen behind on my weekend walks/hikes. I'm a slow walker, but I have a fair amount of energy. :) I haven't done any East Bay boxes yet (though...

Anyone willing to have me along as a letterboxing companion? I feel like I need to get out and stretch my legs in the next few weeks. Lisascenic

Don't worry about the Latin. After all, I *want* people to find my letterboxes. Lisa

I can't believe I did that! I had it in my head that I was writing to Lisascenic only. Sorry Lisa and everyone else who read this! On 6/29/06, Lisa Lazar wrote: > > Maybe we shouldn't be...

Out of curiosity, how are you doing your Latin translation? I had a Latin teacher (letterboxer) work this up for me. I know *nothing* about Latin! (And my Pig Latin box went missing, boo...
