I'm another one who came to this sport from geocaching. I found geocaching because I
am a big fan of the books/movies Planet of the Apes. While reading online info about the
Tim Burton movie, I found the special geocaches that were being hidden with movie props
and moved from there to geocaching.

I've enjoyed geocaching, but I often find it frustrating. Either I"m not very good with my
gps, or every other one that I look for is hidden in a spot with large trees where it's hard to
get a lock.

Once I found the letterboxing site as a link from someone's "other treasure hunting" sites
list, I found my real place. I'm MUCH happier, not finding a letterbox because I couldn't
quite figure out what the clues mean, than I am not finding a geocache because my gps
will only give me "accuracy up to 120 feet" (that's a BIG circle!)

Besides, now I'm branching off into the carving aspect of it all and THAT'S enormous fun.
It's really cool to carve something and think to myself, "Wow! I did that!"

Howls,
