I have added a Letterboxing section on my Ink & Feather forum:
http://pub111.ezboard.com/binkandfeather and would be happy to add a section
for Abandon Box Clues. It's no problem.
My new website will be up by the weekend: www.inkandfeather.com We're
carrying journals, pens, quills & ink, stamps & ink pads, tea, cups &
saucers, gifts and I'll have some letterboxing supplies like carving tools,
etc.

>> Other suggestions? We welcome them! Here are some from me:
>> -Print out clues and share them at Gatherings as Word of Mouth
>Boxes.
>> -Box over, the way MusicWoman recently did at Gay City in CT.
>> -Adopt and maintain.
>> -Adopt and never visit. It's perfectly okay to adopt just the clues
>> for safekeeping without ever actually maintaining the box. Cut and
>> paste the clues from the old site to the new and just put a little
>> disclaimer along the lines of "clues adopted by Funhog, waiting for
>> StampinHeron to return to her nest."
>> -Contact the placer and encourage them to get back into the fun.
>> -Let them compost. The ones you're aware of can be your own
>personal
>> touchstones, kind of like a certain RI box is to WarriorWoman.
