I use 2 stamps stamped together as my signature sign-in. My cat one shows a cat looking into a goldfish bowl. It has just plain worn out and ink does not adhere to one section of it. I just saw a...

I've been all over the net this morning, and cannot find thorough directions on how to sharpen my carving tools. I've found directions on the flat blades, but the one I use most often is the...

Hi All! I will go and coordinate a bulk order. I figured I will be able to order the medallions and send them out for $3.35 each. I anticipated the possibility of having to pay the $10 fee to...

I just received an email that a stamp was left in my Brazos Bend letterbox that looks like it belongs to the "W" family. Not sure who that is but thought I would post it here in case they are...

Here's a 10 cent question for all you boxers: What do you do with old log books that get full in the boxes you have placed? Obviously add a new book, but do you leave the first book in the box or...

Hi again! I had originally intended to reply to you off-list, since this place is just a little too riled up for me right now, and I see that the first response to your inquiry is just a fuse to...

Hi all; I hope this doesn't cause a lot of controversy as I know there has been quite a bit of debate about a placers intentions of boxes etc. But I have adopted an unclaimed box in NH. It...

I've been letterboxing in the dark, though it was entirely unintentional. It is especially easy to end up in the dark if it is this time of the year, you get a late start, and the lure and...

When Wanda was visiting our area, we were inflicted with "Just one more box" fever. We went for a box that was 'not too far' from the road and did manage to find it in the dark. I found out later...

HELLO BUTTERFLY ! WHILE OUT BOXING ON THIS WINDY DAY,I FOUND YOUR "SMILE" LETTERBOX AND THE LOGBOOK WAS SORT OF FULL SO I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. HOW CAN I GET THE OLD ONE TO YOU? LET ME KNOW. ...

I'd be interested in a winter gathering as long as it is not on the 1st weekend in February. And preferably on a Saturday. Bell Lady

Finally back from their whirl wind tour of the west coast are 5 new presidents at Hop Brook Lake in Middlebury, CT. I haven't gotten the clues typed up proper for the board but I have the clues to...

(received in my inbox today) > Man, what's with all this whining on the main list? > People need to take a serious chill pill. If this applies to you, please lighten up :-) (its only a...

I have read some entries in letterboxes that mentioned they were found at night after dark. Are people doing letterboxing at night? I am just curious, and I DO NOT want to debate the ethical part...

A great suggestion for a meet title/theme. Stamp theme? Arielle in NoVA :-> > 3. RE: ICEBREAKER- aka the winter gathering > From: "Kerri" >

>>Why don't a few people create letterboxes explicitly with children in mind?<< You have given me some good ideas, thanks. I have been toying with the idea of creating a series for kids based on...

Has anyone actually gotten all the stamps from the letterboxes in the CT State Forests and then gotten a hiking staff for accomplishing that goal? Kevin

Congratulations to Lenny and Kathy, The NeeDeeps, on hitting the 1000 find mark. A tremendous achievement. I wonder how many miles and miles of hiking that took? Very glad to see you hit that mark....
