I have to agree. Without the Family Circle article years ago, Silver Eagle and I would not have started this crazy game. I have been asked to do multiple interviews, but have been very selective...

Way back when (98?) I read the letterboxing article in Smithsonian Magazine & was amazed by the whole concept...but I never contemplated it being in the U.S. Then in 2004 one of my sister's friends...

Maybe I am misunderstanding a lot here. I joined this group as an extension of a new hobby. I have many other hobbies and the groups that I belong to because of them are full of wonderful people...

Hi! While looking for the first box (the turtle) we found two milk snakes in the stone dam facing thepath. Be extremely careful when looking on or around stone walls or dams. Happy...

Why would this community not jump up and down about the idea of adding to the ranks of letterboxers out there. We just started thanks to a tiny little mention in an MSN article about fun things to...

You know, I felt this way, too, always do, for a moment when I hear about national exposure for Lbing. But then I have to stop and remember that the reason I've been doing this for five years...

The Today Show just had a brief mention of letterboxing during a segment on "things to do." They showed the main page of the LbNA web site, as well as the U.S. map on the Clues page, but I didn't...

Thanks for all the congrats, folks! Not having home internet access often limits my response time, but I'll try to tackle at least a few of the many questions that came up regarding that post later...

Been a long time since the Early Bird clan went boxing, and sadly, we had no luck on this one. All five boxes are gone. We are certain we had the right spots for boxes 1, 4 and 5, and 90% sure on...

After taking my grandsons to the BMX track, we headed to Naugatuck to snag the What's the Scoop? Ice Cream box. Mountain Girl (she'll always be Just Beth to me) has done a stupendous job making this...

While I'm also in the "don't-give-a-damn-about-numbers" camp, I certainly understand how this can be an intriguing aspect of the hobby for some people. Somewhere in the early history of this hobby,...

We will be headed to Jacksonville soon and I wondered if there were any "family friendly" boxes in the surrounding areas that we shouldnt miss. 8 & 10 so they are not totally helpless, but not going...

Also sent to the Moderators directly: I realize that one of the moderators is involved in this current melt down, but even so may I respectfully suggest that all of these people be put on temporary...

I am not the first to not want someone at a gather! If there is a problem with what I did, complain to Ryan for offering up such an idea! Not that this is his problem. I did it due to the padding of...
