I am preparing my first box for placement. What is your opinion for the best letterbox container? Ammo boxes seem very sturdy and waterproof, but are they mostly used for geocaching? I've found...

ATVs

I agree with Ted's statement. I don't have a problem with ATVs when they stay where it is legal. I believe most of the "problem" ATVers are kids whose parents bought them then don't pay attention...

Ok, so letterboxing really is not about the count for me...it's about getting out and seeing new places and finding pretty stamps. HOWEVER. Since there's been so much discussion about F-counts...

F1, F100, etc

Started by Pamela Smith (smith_pamela@verizon.net) | 5 messages | First message: 2006-09-04 | Last message: 2006-09-04
I can see using the F1 in order to keep a box out of general googles, but not really as a restrictive thing. If it's widely known that if you log one find, you get access, I don't see that as a...
