If you guys haven't thought of it recently, it's really wonderful to
note in your clues if the area is handicapped accessible and/or pet
friendly.
I run a greyhound adoption group, and encourage my folks to letterbox
too. It's a really great thing to find boxes in areas where they can
go WITH their dogs-- it encourages family participation and all that
good stuff.
Also, with a handicapped family member, there are precious few things
they can do from a wheelchair. I realize it still takes someone with
them to get down and actually GET the box from it's hiding
place....but boxes that are placed in areas they can get too are
wonderful.
Just a suggestion if you guys haven't considered it. :-)
I am.....

I would like to take a moment to shamelessly plus the Letterbox Rating
System I created a few weeks ago and offer it once again to the Letterbox
Community.
The generator and decoder are available at:
http://www.myndworx.com/modules/LCAS/diff_gen.php for the generator
http://www.myndworx.com/modules/LCAS/diff_decoder.php for the decoder
It uses a letter system, much like the currently accepted 'PFX' count we
letterboxers use. It covers just about anything you can think of in
describing the difficulty level of a given box, yet doesn't give anything
away. It has specific areas for Handicap, Stroller and Pet friendly, along
with clues, location, trail and accessibility.
I encourage everyone to take a look at it and make use of it to rate your
own boxes with. The interface is very easy to use and it creates a segment
of code you can paste on a webpage to create a link back to the decoder so
that people can instantly find out what your box is rated at.

My dear Mr. Haus,
Lady Prisspott would like to take a moment to shamelessly point out
that immodesty and self-promotion are not flattering to one and
suggests, at best, a poor grasp of social graces. We must beg the
forgiveness of this vast audience, of course, for her Ladyship's
public admonition, which, as we have stated, is shameless, but
perhaps others are not dispossessed of similar sentiment.
We are reminded of an earlier era in which social graces were more
important to ones standing and position in society and the words of
an English nobleman, the Earl of Roscommon who said; "Immodest words
admit of no defence, For want of decency is want of sense".
Such quaint doggerel tripping easily off the tongue and delighting
the fancy of the enlightened intellect is effortlessly recalled and
provides a pleasantly received lesson that is well heeded by all.
Perhaps the Earl recalled the cunning words of Dear Mr. Shakespeare
who employed his prodigious wit in Falstaff to make a similar point
when he wrote:
The Prince but studies his companions
Like a strange tongue, wherein,
to gain the language,
`Tis needful that the most immodest word
Be looked upon and learnt, which once attained,
Your highness knows, comes to no further use
But to be known and hated.
With warmest regard and begging the most gracious indulgence of
those upon whos ears this unsolicited message has fallen,
