I know that many of you have located and even planted virtuals. I
recently found the Kimball Library letterbook online, and was curious
as to the practices of more ... seasoned LB'ers!
It appears that some folks track this type of thing, and some folks
dont. If you dont ... why not? If you do - do you put the computer
images of the stamp you receive into your book? I chatted with David
Shelley and he does use his letterboxing journal as a scrapbook of
sorts to record all of his letterboxing adventures - even those
online (which can be quite difficult!)
Just opening up for discussion about this interesting topic.
Virtuals can be a good filler when its pouring rain, or there's lots
of snow in your favorite hiking grounds.

I did the CodyBCleo Sun series of virtual boxes...it was
fun! I'm really not that good with them though which is why I have
not done anymore of them. Plus websites change and I think you need
to verifey the clues all the time if you do an online virtual box.
And yes, I did print out the different stamps on my color printer
and put them in my logbook - Its nice to see what you have
accomplished and makes people who look through the book want to go
find them!
All I did was cut them down to size and use a glue stick to affix
them.

First of all, my name is David Salley, not Shelly. No offense taken,
just correcting the mis-spelling. I've been signing logbooks as "The
Pirate of Otter's Cove", a phrase which has significance only to
me. :D
I received a Unicorn Journal
[http://www.runningpress.com/bookstore/product.asp?sku=754] as a
birthday present from a friend of mine several years ago. I didn't
know what to do with it until I started letterboxing. As Kat
mentioned, it's a complete journal, not just a stamp repository. My
eventual goal is to have something like Indiana Jones' father had in
the third movie. :D If I've used a map, it's in the journal.
Drawing? In the journal. Cracked a secret code? In the journal.
(Never know when you might need it again, right? :D) Weather notes,
virtual letterboxes, commentaries on the hunt, etc. It's all in
there. I can't be the only one. What do you folks put in your
journals?

Virtual letterboxes kept me sane when the snow kept falling outside! I
think they are a lot of fun. But, I do agree that sometimes the websites
change and the clues get out of date. I know this happened on one virtual
box. I could never get past the second entry because the words they said to
look for were no where to be seen!
We also just print out the stamps and glue stick them in the logbook. We
keep a journal of all the clues too. The virtual clue pages are my
favorites because they are covered with notes, trials and errors (especially
the MooMahh series [Deb is very helpful and understanding!])
It's cold and rainy outside today. I wish there were more virtual boxes to
hunt! BeMa
