I'm a letterboxer -- I'm Okay
I carve all night and I hike all day.
My mouth is dry and my feet are damp,
But I'll trek through Hell to find a rubber stamp!!

Aaaarrgghh!!!!!!!

If you touch this box with bad intent,
your eyes will cross and your head will dent...

Hi All

I might be wrong here, but it seems to me that your boxes are in mostly very public areas. Dartmoor although public has very few visitors except for a few well know areas. As boxers we tend to put ours away from these areas.

Plugging a box is now one of the most common ways of hiding a box over here.

This consists of making a hole in the ground (normally a bank) the size of the box by cutting a hole out of the grass (keeping this part) putting the box in and then covering with the turf. I took a friend to cranmere last Sunday and i told them there was a box by a lone rock, They could not find it and were amazed when i pulled up the turf.

If you cut your turf deep enough the grass will stay alive.

Summary

I think you need to get your boxes of the beaten track a bit.

Adrian

Hoping not to be taken the wrong way.

P.S I have an idea who is going to get out the first State Box. I.E the letterbox of Vermont. Just a copy of the state emblem. Is Dan keeping numbers for the boxes in the order they go out. May not seem important now but it will be i assure you it will be.

Who had the first box was it Eric\Susan.Should it be box No. ONE

Could then have your first series. The State Box of Vermont, Texas,Alaska etc etc
