I definitely second that! Are you listening SALAMANDER?! LOL

If Franzsolo had not said hi to Team Min Dawg & I, we wouldn't have had the
opportunity for all that great boxing we've been doing.

Go for it!

I would say most letterboxers are friendly and don't bite so its
O.K. to approach them.... just don't feed them! All kidding
aside, and as a new letterboxer I would definately say hi. You'll
probably put a name with the face and get a stamp in exchange. I
think if i came away with one thing from Patrick and Amy bringing us
to the CT Kids day last October, its the fact that pretty much
everyone is extremely friendly and equally excited to meet people on
the trail!

Anyone else share this sentiment???
