Obviously I have never done this before. Sorry for all the redundant messages. I didn't realize the system sent out its own. Trish "red-faced" in RI

For any that may be interested in attending a gathering in RI in the Sep/Oct timeframe I have opened a poll to come up with a date. Don't forget to also indicate your preference for a Sat vs....

The Fish or Fowl letterbox is waiting..... This is on a easy, flat, 15 minute walk on a nature trail and was placed lat night inbetween event 3 (100 meter Freestyle) and event 23 (50 meter...

Does anyone know if the two Mt. St. Helens boxes toward the summit are still in existence? John climbed Mt. St. Helens the other day and wasn't able to find either of the two that are actually on...

here are clues for a new box i placed in Florida while on vacation in June.   i have actually lost the clues i wrote out at the time of the hike but have a pretty good idea about where the box is....

   Before you guys go all gung ho on this bear guard, maybe you should pick up a back issue of Backpacker magazine, or hit up their website.  They did a review on it a few months ago, and found that...

hi everyone - believe it or not - we carry an extra pair of shoelaces since we are always getting snagged on something in the woods, and more often than not, an extra pair of socks in case of mud...

Wanda and Pete,  Congrats on the new boxes.  I am flattered that you would use the name that I coined for the race I created on that trail nine years ago.  If anyone runs and is looking for something...

Just a reminder that we will be picking our first Pooch Patch winner this Sunday, 7-15. Anyone interested in summiting their letterboxing dog's picture for a free go at it is welcome. Just send us...

We pack some extra items, although not essential, they can make the hike a little more enjoyable. 1) A pocket knife - If you need one, YOU NEED ONE. 2) A small lightweight camera - We love to take...

I figured that the heavier the pack the better the exercise. My pack has been slowly getting heavier as time goes on because I'd like to have Cory Everson's legs. Hey...it could happen. Aili ---...

Unfortunately, I am going to add pepper spray for when I go alone.  I hate to think there may be a need but last time I was nervous out in the middle of nowhere by myself.  I also carry a...

I have posted the clues for the Black Hills Letterbox 1 on our website http://members.tripod.com/lane.t/grid1.html This box is placed below the summit of Harney Peak (7242 ft), the highest mountain...

I am sooo glad to see this! I am really hesitating on starting to carve a stamp for my first letterbox! I did manage a VERY primitive personal stamp, which I took to the Otis Redding box, but when I...

You guys are so prepared, I'm impressed. I am lucky if I remember my stamp book. I carved the Riverside stamp on the spot and then forgot to stamp it into my own book because I didn't have my book...

Hey Gang, I just wanted to let you know that I am about half way done with my clue site. I just finished my Homepage, and am now working on the clue sites, which is obvious by the links on the...

I like your template idea, Mischief. I think I'll give two sets of times - tortoise and hare. For instance, our 10k loop on Mt. Mitchell (the highest point east of the Rockies at 6,684') takes me...

As many of you know, Pete and I have had plans for putting in a series of letterboxes close to home on the Vin Gormley Trail for a very long time now - from even before we introduced my...

After doing my first Letterboxing trip (Who Let The Dogs Out), I was wondering; what do you put in your personal log? Do you just stamp? Do you write notes? (what kind?) ... or do you do it more...

What Glen no MARSHMALLOWS with all that fire power! And they hardly weigh a thing. Maybe next trip .

There are now letterboxes to be found in North and South Dakota. Knowing that there would be a "gold rush" mentality about being the first to find the NoDak box ;-) I have posted the clues on my...
