Just thinking while I wait for the snow..........
You know those posters and t-shirts "Everything I've ever needed to know I learned from my dog (some say cat or gardening, etc) and then they list all sorts of things "learned" How about for boxing???
Everything I've ever needed to know I learned from letterboxing!
One man's pace is another man's step.
What the word Esker means.
How to look inconspicuous (yeah right) while trying to smuggle a rubbermaid box under ones jacket .
What the word cairn means.
You can bury a man in a large keg of rum.
The small town of Mansfield, CT is keeping the Rubbermaid corp. alive & well!
No matter how well you think you're explaining the idea of letterboxing, people are still going to look at you like you are nuts for running around in the wood hunting treasures hidden by a dog named Molly and people called Butterfly or pychomommy!
Falling off the side of a cliff is not a good excuse to exchange with letterboxing nurses. Give it time and you can meet them on the trail.
Wal-Mart actually having index card notpads in stock can send you into a shopping frenzy.
A large mountain of pudding could kill you.
Don't take short cuts across large lakes of mud unless you have your hair and make-up done just right so you will look good on the evening news.
I just came up with these while sitting here but I could come up with a million, how about you???

These are great!!
I learned that if you are going to try to be discreet have an excuse ready for why you are looking suspiciously in tree trunks!

I've learned that a camera is a valid and believable excuse for any
and all suspicious activity in the woods, parks, etc. And also that
a camera bag makes a nice little place to discreetly transport a
letterbox in locations where a backpack would look out of place.
I've also hands some hands-on-training with poison ivy and its
persistence.

I tried that once. When some guy asked me what I was doing, I told
him I was searching the park for explosives to make sure it was safe
to walk my dog there.
He didn't bother me after that. =)

I imagine you took him into your confidence and gave him a glimpse of your
letterbox, explaining it was a defused bomb, and told him that you heard
similar boxes were placed in the park and, if he spotted one or something
similar, not to touch it and to quickly tell you if he spotted any!

Thanks Chuck & Leaader of the Pack for answering. I hadn't been back on line.
