Hi, all!
I am new to this group (and completely new to the wonderful world of
Letterboxing). I found Tom Cooch's virtual "Letterbook" last week and
now I am hooked.
My question is, are they any other Michigan Letterboxes besides the
one in Dexter (as indicated on the LBNA site)? My family and I are
going to find that this weekend. If not, my next opportunity to
Letterbox isn't until I visit my sister in Connecticut next June!
My husband and I already have plans to place three more in Michigan
(and our list of possible locations is growing). We'll announce them
when we do. I'd love to see this become as popular in Michigan as it
is elsewhere in the States!
Thanks for any input!

In order to promote the hobby in your area a few things you can do:
1) The best way to get it rolling in your neighborhood is to start putting
some boxes out. I do enjoy finding boxes, but I do have to say: it is
even more fun hiding them. I know that some people are simply hooked on
hiding the boxes. Then the real joy is when you go back to find who
came for a visit.
2) Take a friend or couple along with you who enjoys nature. If you are
able to get them interested in the hobby, then it will take off very
quickly. You will start to swap clues and find the boxes hidden by the
other.
3) Visit a local outfitter or wilderness club. AMC, Serria, EMS, REI,
etc.. I am sure they would love to hold a workshop on letterboxing if you
are able to get one of their members/managers interested in the
hobby. You will not believe the amount of advertising power this may
provide...
Just a few suggestions...
