I have posted clues for a series consisting of TEN boxes located in central Alabama. The series is named "Treasures of Tannehill" - clues posted at LBNA and AtlasQuest.com.

I posted my clues Sunday, and tried again yesterday. They showed up in the email list but they still haven't shown up on the site. Does anyone have any idea on if this will be resolved soon? ...

Let me say, I am so glad I live in an area where new boxes appear at a moderate rate. If I lived in Connecticut, I'd have to be out every couple of hours searching for all the new boxes that...

Sticking my head up out the swamp to reply to this one. Although I agree Boxes should be kept up to date by the placer a mass removal by moderators isn't wise. Speaking from experience, I was...

I'm not sure if all the chatter re removing missing boxes was a direct result of the overloaded system and/or my discovery of the letterbox-basement. If my two cents is worth anything today, I'd...

Can one of the moderators or webmasters give us an update on the site status? There are definately issues with entering clues. Thanks

Be on the lookout for John Ashcroft. He must be a bit restless with all the free time on his hands. Last seen in the area of Washington DC, making sure that local letterboxes are free from the...

Just wanted to say hi. I just discovered letterboxing two days ago, and I'm hooked. Since Sunday, I've gotten six stamps and I'm carrying one hitchhiker that I'll drop off at the next location...

So, if you're chanterelling about the trail sniffing out fungus- encrusted letterboxes, like a hen-of-the-woods, and acting a bit suspicious, blame it on the fact that you're a 'truffle' bit...

Since we're always looking for ways to act discreet- here's an idea. We found a box today with this written in the logbook "We were hunting for mushrooms when we found this. Cool. What is...

Just tried to add two boxes we just placed in Long Grove, Lake County, IL this morning and the site still won't add 'em. So anyone who might want the clues to these, lemme know, and I'll send 'em...

Maybe all those letterboxes in Connecticut are finally starting to breed due to their close proximity! ;-) And now that they have become sentient, they are starting to log themselves in. Run...
