So many of you took the time to give their thoughts on 'advertising' our
great pastime. We've read all your good ideas and will take them to heart. I want
to thank you all.
Old Blue and I will discuss at length what we're going to say before the
reporter gets here and we'll be sure there's an emphasis on leaving no trace. We
both agree that the best thing about letterboxing for us is that it takes us to
places we'd never go otherwise, not being particularly 'outdoorsy' folks.
We've experienced views and marvels in out-of-the-way places like National and
State parks that continuously blow our minds. We recently made the trek to a
place I'd been wanting to go since I was a little girl but never did.
Letterboxing took me there!! These are the things we will emphasize to the reporter on
Thursday.
One really neat thing; A-Bear of Idaho was also interviewed for this same
article as she planted a box while passing through (California) recently. So cool
to all be in the same article!
We'll report on the piece once it appears.

Letterboxers take nothing and leave nothing
but good impressions. Sir B

I know it's been discussed before, but just to be sure . . . A good
piece of advice is to not mention national parks in conjunction
with letterboxing since we aren't allowed to leave anything on
NPS property. There are already a couple of maniacal (sp?)
NPS rangers out for a couple of well-known boxers--no need to
fuel that fire. :)
