Letterboxing Northern California - Yahoo Groups Archive

I need to add my thanks onto the pile for the organizers of the GRR. Having been on the planning committees for the last 2 events, I know how much energy it requires - I was *so glad* to just be...

We had a WONDERFUL time visiting with the many Northern California Letterboxers at the Gold Rush Romp. These are incredibly talented people w/their clever clues and AMAZING stamp carvings. Also...

Howdy! I just wanted to say Thank you to Sierra Sally and everyone else who organized and worked on this wonderful gathering. (Homemade ice cream! All those boxes!) I had a great time, and...

I second the request for the recipe for the raspberry bars. They were really yummy. Inspired by the multitude of box styles, I ran amock at the dollar store in SF's Japantown. Sadly, at least...

A number of people commented on the plastic boxes I used with the locking clips on each side. They are from a company called Lock & Lock (www.locknlock.com) out of Korea. There's a huge variety. I...

Several people have asked about the camo duct tape we use on our boxes. We purchased it at Wal Mart. It is in the paint department. C of DKK

Thanks to everyone for making such a wonderful day in Old Sac on Saturday! My only regret is that I was afflicted by a terrible case of zombie-boxitis...

I just wanted to write and tell everyone how much I enjoyed the Gold Rush Romp. You all made me feel so welcome, which meant a lot to me, since I only discovered letterboxing two-and-a-half weeks...

Glad to hear Eureka hadn't disappeared. I think the back is probably a safer spot for it anyway. Also, since Doublesaj naturally has to be a little modest regarding her other half, I will say that...

Yesterday was great! I know a lot of work went into organizing and executing the event. I truly appreciate all of the work everyone did (from the planners, to the box planters, to the attendees)....

Thanks for everyone that told me my Eureka letterbox may be missing. It was where it was supposed to be, it had just be shoved back far enough that it was under the back of the pillar, not the...

Thanks to everyone for a great time! I enjoyed finally putting names with faces. What a talented group! We enjoyed ourselves a lot and will look forward to another event. Thanks to...

What a WONDERFUL event we had in Old Scaramento today! About 50 Newbie to Avid (to obsessive) letterboxers gathered in perfect weather to find the 27 boxes hidden for this event. Because this area...

Howdy! This is very last minute, I know. I had hoped to plant a box for the GRR this Saturday, but I wasn't able to get out to the area early, and in looking at photographs of the site, it didn't...

We noticed a small parking lot in the alley at L St. and Front St. It is $10.00 for 10 hours. A little less for fewer hours. If for some reason you need to have access to your car, it may be easier...

It's getting close.... we're all getting excited. Please send your clue sheets to me as soon as they are available. I will also provide maps of the Old Sac area. You can email the clue sheets...

Hi fellow letterboxers, We knew we wouldn't be able to make the GRR this coming Saturday, but we intended to plant our boxes in Old Sac today. Unfortunately, a family emergency called us to San...

How wonderful...Tuesday morning is the day I allow myself a few hours hiking time and there is a new series in Petaluma. I hightailed to Putnam Regional Park and got the set. Very nice! And...

We had a lovely walk today in Rancho Cordova and left off a few natural delights along the way. Check out Riverside Rambles. Happy Boxing. Grumpy Grinch

Hello! I'm back from my unexpected trip to New Mexico to attend to my mother's affairs. It feels good to be back. I've just planted my Sweet Dreams Series. I think the stamps are pretty cool,...

I'm one for sitting and chatting and drinking lemonade or sasparilla (sp?). I don't want to rush the exchange process either. I'm VERY excited about meeting Mim and 'Sage/Blu and Black Cavalier,...

So now grumpy grinch has another excuse to come visit us here and snag Dudley and the tooth fairy pals. http://www.letterboxing.org/BoxView.php? boxnum=14665&boxname=The_Tooth_Fairy_et_al. mim
