Night Letterboxing?

From: scoutdogs107 (DogScouts@hotmail.com) | Date: 2003-11-30 04:37:11 UTC
When Wanda was visiting our area, we were inflicted with "Just one
more box" fever. We went for a box that was 'not too far' from the
road and did manage to find it in the dark.
I found out later that a body was found a few feet from the letterbox
about a week after we visited (apparent suicide that was about a day
old).
I carry a flashlight now :-)

Hey!

Jonathan and I go letterboxing at night all the time. I find it to
make the letterboxes much more challenging. We went to the point of
buying a different stamp for our night letterboxing exploits but
decided it wasn't a good idea. No-one would know who we were ... we
would be a regular "LegerDeMaine". We settled on a little bat stamp
to add to the books when we do a box at night.

Wanda and Pete are also avid night boxers, we went until 12:30 one
evening so that Jonathan could hit F50 in ONE DAY! Gotta love it! :)

My one suggestion to all people that letterbox ... Buy an LED
headlamp. Those trails will look like you are walkin' on sunshine!
