So for the two or three years I've been carrying a traveler, I've
told people to count it as an "F," not an "X." And, I've counted all
the travelers I've been lucky enough to find as f's as well.
Just another example of the flexibility and individuality of this
amazing past time. The few people who keep the mysterious fun alive
add immeasurably to the intrigue and fascination of letterboxing, and
are truly more Dartmoorian than the whole open/internet Yankness
we've evolved here.
