We found a box yesterday that had self addressed and stamped postcards in it, to send to the Planter who lives out of state. I thought it was a neat idea. Has anybody came across this or similar...

During this whole thread about poorly planted boxes, I can't believe that nobody has brought this up yet...but Why do we assume that just because we can't find a box that it's missing? Maybe...we...

I have deleted "Earth Laughs With Flowers - Spring Is HERE Series" from AQ. (This is one box) This box is in Bowdoin Park in Wappingers Falls, NY. I noticed the duplication when I was looking at...

I haven't really participated as actively on the list since I moved to Wales, but I really had to get on after meeting up with the moor-tourists (or was it tor-ists) in Dartmoor National Park...

Barefoot Lucy has eloquently told the story of how he was "caught", but you may wonder how he knew about the gathering in the first place. As I said, we started leaving boxes as bait hoping to...

For those of you out there who detest store bought stamps, I give you fair warning, Avoid all of my 112 Bike it or Hike it Letterboxes. They ALL contain store bought stamps. Furthermore, every new...

...Fall! My poll I just ran last week on my blog asked "Which Season do you do MOST of your boxing or caching in?" and 68% of you preferred fall as the time that you like to letterbox. I was a...

I must admit I find this cloak & dagger aspect of the game intriguing, but only if a small percentage of letterboxers practice it. If nobody exchanged, I guess it would be intriguing if a few...

I've only been letterboxing since June, and joined this list fairly recently. It has been very interesting. I'm forming my own opinions - which will remain my own - on stamps, clues, etc. I'm in...

So if a person can draw, but not carve, and has their original, one of a kind drawing made into a stamp, is it considered a "store bought" stamp? Daniel T --- In letterbox-usa@yahoogroups.com,...

Disclaimer: I am going to ask for opinions. I know full-well that I will agree with some and possibly disagree with some. I've been thinking about Exchanges lately and just heard of someone...

If I could ever find a Mapsurfer box, I wouldn't care if the stamp said "What A Loser". Silver Eagle > My question is: How do people feel about hand-carved stamps that > make no attempt to be...

I'm heading to the San Diego area from December 22nd to December 31st for my wedding and would like to meet up with some boxers in the area. Bluebird will be with me during the morning of the...

Oh Randy, Get out of the mundane and jump into the exciting world of: pigment vs dye inks!!! BostonRott

I have mentioned in passing here once or twice about a box Whitey and I found that had a missing stamp. This was kind of sad, but I got over it. It looks to me like the Planter has stopped checking...

It was your tone and that of others that made me feel like being a newbie was a bad thing. Its very easy sometimes to get the wrong impression via the Internet. Now that I know it wasn't...

I haven't seen any poorly carved stamps yet. I don't think its possible to do a poorly carved stamp. I think one can not put a lot of thought into the actual image of the stamp. As long as it is...

We've had one box so far where the stamp was missing. I was frustrated about it only because I didn't know -why- it was missing. Was it stolen? Did it get broken? Did it get dropped in the brush by...

Hello, I am contemplating putting out a letterbox series based on The HitchHikers Guide to The Galaxy. I was thinking of doing something different. I was thinking of basing the concept of the boxes...

I didn't really identify at all with the disappointment of finding a store bought stamp in a LB---untill I found one! This was a hard box to find---up in British Columbia. We were just driving...

Hi there from the moor! The Moor Tor-ists are here in Dartmoor and what a great time we're having. The group is as nuts as I thought it would be! After a 3 hour delay in Logan for our departure,...

I noticed that somebody asked about this. I haven't planted any boxes, but I've found a lot, and found a lot to be missing. So I may not have room to talk, but I have room to bitch :) The missing...
