There is a mention of Letterboxing USA in the lastest issue of
DVOA's Briar Patch (the magazine of the DV orienteering club --
circulation of about 650 :-)) under a column entitled "Things
to do where there is no O on the calendar". It says, "this is
big in England, but there is a little bit of activity in our
area. Check out [the web site] for more details".
AFAIK, all the letterboxes in our area are buried under snow and
ice right now, but there you have it :-)

Very cool. Targeted publicity, such as we're receiving in rubber stamp and
orienteering publications, is exactly what we need to get the word out to the
people that will appreciate this hobby.
Is it worthwhile to take the time to compile an informal list of special
interest groups who might have interest in what we're doing? My initial
suggestions are:
- rubber stamp and mail art enthusiasts
- orienteering groups
- hikers
- bicyclists ?
- woodcarvers ?
- off road driving enthusiasts (Thom?)
Also, possibly, anything targeted at people who travel around the country,
whether in a Winnabago, or on the back of a Harley. Any suggestions or
comments?
