I've been keeping quiet through this whole thing, but I will put in my 2 cents for what it's worth. I have a hard time finding time to letterbox to begin with. I want to plant boxes because there...

Sorry. I should have titled the post: Some Newbies make me want to vomit. My point is, some people come into an established activity and within a week they seem to think it all has to be changed...

I do something similar. I bring along the printout information sheet and stamp directly onto that. I then add any other interesting information about the hike when I get home. I also add pages for...

Hi Martel: I too, am disturbed by the negative and strange tone the talk list has taken recently. Usually we are a cordial, fun bunch with a common interest in LETTERBOXING, WHICH IS A REALLY FUN...

Regarding commercial stamp cleaner, I'd be wary because it is made for rubber. While it wouldn't immediately damage vinyl/polymer, an aggressive scrub with the cleaning pad might damage fine line...

Im just curious as to what everyone puts in thier logbooks besides the stamp and date. I've just recently started and put the name of the box, location, date. I also take a picture of the park...

So, how many of you carved your first stamp only to find out that the image reverses? *raises hand sheepishly* Anywho, I have a stamp carved and waiting for a hiding place. This is gonna be the...

Well then, allow a newbie to brag a bit.  Last Sunday, 4 Aug 2002, my son and I were the first to place our stamps in Ladybug's Scrabble Mystery Letterbox.  It was made all the more sweet by...

allo i think the "FIRST" certificate is a neat idea, but as far as encouraging other boxers, if the nifty "things to do" article in the local paper and encouragement from friends arent enough, the...

Speaking of being first, I stopped by and found the Pierce Riffle Nature Trail Letterbox on 7/21. It was in great shape, and, suprisingly, no one else has been there. It is a short distance of...

allo i think its kinda cute that lizardbutt's mom dad or other close family member is willing to type for her/him. i just prefer to know who i am adressing. take care spike

I was wondering how people felt about stamps being specific to where they are placed... Does anyone feel strongly about this?  So far, I think only one of the stamps I found was not really specific...
