Letterboxing Northern California - Yahoo Groups Archive

You know, I think the Bay Area should pay to keep me from going to New York. Last time I left, Berkeley Rep's scene shop burned down, and this time the the freeway collapses. My goodness! I work...

I'm looking forward to getting back to Oakland.... Spent a lovely evening with Bandaid, Music Woman, Kreepy Kelli, Too Many Shoes and uh, uh, uh Someone Whose Name I forgot. David, who is a...

Today we planted the Bay Area Bug hitch hiker. It is a low impact hitch hiker. When you find it, I don't want you to curse the letterboxing heavens that you found another *^$%@ hitch hiker; there is...

I just arrived from Boston and now living in Oakland. I have come from a bunch of over achiever boxers of the northeast, so I am excited to see how the west coast compares. It sounds like you all...

Hello fellow boxers! I am new to CA, a recent transplant from the Northeast Coast. I must say I love the weather! I found my first CA box last week. I am excited about finding out the ingenious...

Being that this is a relatively crafty group, does anyone know where to get the "print your own" inkjet decals? The kind you soak in water & then slide onto plastic models & things like that? ...

My grandson, Justin, aka Doughboy, of the mtnbikemanns had a mountain bike race at the Glory Hole Rec. Area in Angels Camp yesterday. Since we were going to be up that way, we thought it would be...

We had a little picnic yesterday at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, and saw the *oddest* thing. The park had erected life-sized photo-blowups of coyotes, which we imagine are intended to scare away...

ahoy..thanx thanx thanx. i am back home in Alaska with way over 100 finds in my logbook WAHOO. i couldn't have done it without all your clues, all your stamps and all your love put into this hobby....

Hi All- While on a trip to Tennessee last week, I stopped to find a letterbox in order to drop off a CA hitchhiker I had picked up. Lo and behold, there was already a hitchhiker in the box, just...

If anyone able to check on this letterbox for me? I've gotten a few "can't find" messages, but am not going to be down in San Jose anytime soon. Lisa

Does anyone have any thoughts of where we could see great spring wildflower displays this weekend, near-ish Oakland? We're looking somewhere that Robb could use his trike, so a hard packed trail...

So at No Foolin' there were some cop cars (and helicopters) later in the day. You may have had your license plate number taken as you exited. Contrary to popular belief, these had nothing to do...

I've posted some photos of the Low Key Egg - Stravaganza on AQ, and also on my blog. We had a great time! Lisa

I'd like to add my thanks to Renee for organizing an incredible event, but I'd also like to specifically thank her family for all their work. I don't know if they really box or not, but every time I...

Have you noticed that on the Yahoo page of this discussion forum there are a number of questions that Yahoo thinks could be answered by the members of our group? Have you noticed that they are ALL...

Hey everyone, I wanted to extend an invitation to get together, hang out, and learn to decorate Ukrainian Easter Eggs. I'll be hosting at Berkeley Rep's Scenic Studios, this Saturday at 2pm. The...

Where are the clues from the April 1st gathering? Were tjey all WOM? We had to miss the event but we'd love to search for a few boxes. Grumpy Grinch

Thanks from Anna and the kid(s) for such a great time at the event yesterday-- To Renee and 3Catfam for hosting a Martha Stewart level event(did you see those table runners???)-- every detail was...

I cannot imagine a funner, or better organized letterboxing event than No Foolin! All the flourishes and thoughtful details just boggled the mind. The table runners! The excellent name tags! The...

We missed today's gathering, too, though our reason was much happier than that of Team Tysonosaurus. We were babysitting 3 little grandchildren all day. We are eager to hear if any albinos ran...

I'm so, so sad that Team Tysonosaurus will be missing the gathering today! We've been hit by some icky nose-running, coughing virus. I'm not one who generally looks forward to big group events, but...

As the official spokesperson of the albino compound found in Alum Rock Municipal Park, it is my duty to inform you all that you are mocking not only our pigmentation (or lack thereof), but also our...

Hmm, just as I thought, the American River Gathering in September is the weekend before Talk Like Pirate day (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html). Could I suggest a Pirate...
