I'm from LI but would be interested in your boxes that use the GPS. Where
are your clues?
I just got myself a letterbox name Star:W=S+DRRand I have placed my first
two letterboxes. Now I have to learn how to post the clues.

budster was wondering if a letterbox is good enough for a geocache site?
No prize, just a stamp and a great " hidden from the general public"
location. If so, then "hidden pond" will be placed at the geocaching
site. Thanks for the info.

OK I know that I am probably over doing this but I want to share this
great "hidden place" with you all, geocachers & letterboxers. For sure
there are numerous other great places in this vast land we tread but this
is place is one of our favorites , though very hard to find : HIDDEN
POND - Be careful, there are all kinds of obstacles along the way! A
rough 3 miles. (slippery rocks, posion ivy,snakes,splits in the path are
some of them) Four specific points along the way are marked
(waypoints)

The new search capability of the new letterbox site make it
easy to find the place which has the clues.
( only a letterbox to be found there - with a pad, stamp
(Spider) and pen )

Thanks Wes and to all the other people not mentioned that made
this hobby so much better.

The only thing to be careful of would be placing it too close to the geocache site. If a geocacher finds it, they might take the stamp and leave you with something else.
