I know this has been talked about before, but I would love to know of letterboxes that are within a few minutes of major highways. I would be more than willing to organize said list and host it on my website if assisted with the gathering of information. For instance, if I were to be driving to visit my college roommate down in Stratford, CT, I would be traveling on 495, 290, 90 and 84 in MA, 84, 91 and 5 in CT. To turn one of these long drives into a letterboxing blitz would make it so much better.
So, I suggest this. If you have placed a box within a few minutes of a major highway (primarily East Coast for now), would you be willing to email me at letterboxing AT bluejena DOT net with the following:
1. The name of the box
2. The link from the main site to the clues.
3. Major highway, exit number, and approximate distance (miles/minutes) to the box.
4. Actual town and state the box is in.
5. Optional: if there are any landmarks of note nearby (say, The World's Largest Collection of Dryer Lint, or the childhood home of Bob C. Schmoe, etc.) that would be worth stopping to see.
I will attempt to take on the task of organizing this material.

i did not place these boxes (they belong to Matt the Rat), but "castle
rock" and "bell mound" are
right off I94 heading westbound through WI. Bell Mound is, in fact, part of
a highway rest stop - and Castle Rock is seen from the highway. We did both
of these on a trip from Milwaukee to Minnesota.

http://www.bluejena.net but there is nothing on it related to letterboxing yet, so I'm not the ring.
