Dave and I got a very nice letter from a fellow letterboxer. You've heard us lament over the loss of "A Major Award HH"? Well, they found the logbook at "Celebrations" down in Mouse World in...

I bought it at a Better Value hardware store. I keep it clipped to the outside of my bag. Only once have I ever felt it might be needed in my multitude of loner hikes and had plenty of time to...

Hi All, Some people might find this box SEXUALLY OFFENSIVE, and for that I am APOLOGIZING in advance. It's a Beautiful stamp and is in the perfect spot. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!! The Engraver

Your warning is well heeded. Trust me, I am respectful of the law and careful with the spray. It is in a carrying case and I practiced getting it out and pretending to spray. Wouldn't want to be...

Hi All, I will be traveling on business the second week of July and staying downtown right on Ceasar Chavez. Are there any letterboxes in that area? I've never been there before. I won't have a...

Hi All, Everyday I go to the letterboxing.org website and click on "what's new" to see the last 25 boxes placed. I then do a "search for boxes" by state just in case more than 25 were planted at...

Come and get it!!!!!!

In response to the pepper spray idea.... we're lost. Why carry it IN your pack? I'm going to guess the boogie man will not wait if you say "hold on and let me rifle through my pack for my pepper...

Hey, a question for the group. I have created a PLB that's really fun, and I've already made arrangements for it to travel to an event in PA in July. I'm thinking of holding on to it so that it can...

on the subject of pepper spray... i was one person away from being purse snatched at the grocery store a couple days ago... ( i feel REALLY bad for the lady three feet from me that the guy picked...

Besides the obvious needed acoutrements, I always carry water (in a Nalgene bottle:-)), my compass, a watch which clips to my bag, a whistle, pepper spray, Kleenex, paper towels, ziplocks and a...

Get some steel wool...some matches ... and go out on the driveway and try it! Steel wool will actually burn, quite easily in fact. Makes camp-fire lighting easy should you get lost, fall into an...

This might be a question for the newbie group, but I'd like to hear from the more experienced 'boxers on this subject. We all know you need a personal stamp, an ink pad, a compass and a journal to...

FYI....there are three boxes actually shelved in the Jamestown Philomenian Library. Kudos to the von der Insels for some greast clues and even nifitier boxes! ;) There is also one box shelved in...

I've done a bit of map surfing and now here I am halfway across the country. I was held captive for quite a while at the Governor's lofty estate and while the view was great I was really itching...

What I'd like to know is...Do General Hardass and Miss Janet appear in any letterboxes? Or perhaps in a PLB? Or dare I add, do they hitchhike? She Who Plants > The above references to General...

Thanks to everyone for your tips and whatnot. Hikers and Hounds, I am considering going to the event you mentioned, but just don't know if I want to attempt it without my husband's help. My two year...

Traveling to Clermont Co in 2 weeks. This is going to be the quickest trip ever. Me and my peeps are blowing through. Would love to exchange. There are 5 of us with stamps. So if you're into...

Howdy campers, Plans for the August 7, 2004, Southeast Gathering is beginning to come together. It will be held at Stone Mountain Memorial Park just east of Atlanta, GA. Please check the...

I also live in RI and know of a couple of libraries that have boxes in them. I haven't been to find them yet but I've heard good things about them. I don't know of any plans to include all...

It was a breath of fresh air to read of your l.b. adventures. ( I don't get e-mails but scroll through recent posts) Thank you. Catlover/teacher/gardener (living in the letterboxing mecca-Ct.!)

I think Team Dakota and I were each waiting for the other to post this, so... Last Saturday, I sent TD an e-mail stating that I would be letterboxing in their neck of the woods. They cleverly...

Hello everyone, I've never had poison ivy. I've never even seen poison ivy! But after the Woe Is Me posting, and subsequent stories, I have begun to educate myself...because I don't want to get...
