I was enthusiastically talking up letterboxing to a stamping enthusiast the other day, tellling her about all the great stamps! I ran to get Be and Ma's journal and began flipping through it... ...

Hi Jay, the new link for the Canonchet's Water letterbox is wrong. It goes to your Borders Boxes II when I think it should got to Borders Boxes III. Janet

Folks: Suppose you were in on a plant. The box disappeared. The planter carved a new stamp and hid the box in a slightly different location. You were not in on the plant this time. If you find...

I have arrived in Pearisburg, VA. About 620 miles from where I started and over 1\4 of the way done! Over 1\2 way to Harpers Ferry I might add... Within a couple of weeks, I hope to start...

...new info sheets. The box was wet inside, although everything inside the baggies was fine. The only info sheet disintegrated when I tried to pick it up and dry it out, and ink on your contact...

After many, many miles of driving, I discovered that the crucial clues to finding the Kentucky First box do not work. Directions are fine until you are to see the Bison Trailhead 3/4 mile on the...

Hey Wes - I tried to send this info to you off list but I got a delivery failure notice. So I'm trying again this way. I've been busy planting boxes in a bunch of new counties that you can now...

Yeah! Letterboxes delivered to your mailbox rock. Anyone remember Leger's wonderful Flutterby? What ever happened to it? P&W had a mailout hitch hiker a while back as well. There's also Found Art...

This exact variation on letterboxing has actually been going on for quite some time. But, perhaps the more the merrier and a nice surpise for those who have few boxers and boxes in their areas. If...

I hereby bequeath the Order of the Purple Heart Letterbox to Nina and her master Rustypuff. For her efforts to protect and defend her master from an incompetent dog walker. May she heal well to...

Jokes about poison oak aside, we got an amazing reward today while out tracking down boxes at a local nature center/park. They had closed down a section of trail (yes, right where the box is hidden...

I have been doing some Geocaching lately and have found a lot of them in the middle of urban areas. Most of the letterboxes I have seen have been in more rural, wild or park-like areas. The...

When emailing a box's placer, you need to supply YOUR email address. Not the address of the person you're trying to contact! Also, if you email someone with your normal email program and your...

This is off the subject but since the area around Hale Homstead has quite a few letterboxes I thought some of you might find this of interest. On Father's Day, June 15, Sunday (Father's Day) from...
