thank you mark and mark....... is there something about the name mark that
is synonymous with polite..... :)
run of the mill letterboxes are good....i often box with my daughter and her
5year old and 10 month old, not to mention my 9 and 13 year old so the
easier ones are good for them. (and yes we do try to be responsible
letterboxers.) the thrill of that first mystery box however makes me yearn
for more. i am always up for a challange.......
what part of the country is red bunch's mystery in? tried doing a search for
it but not having much luck.

Welcome to the group!
I just couldn't help and respond to your post. It's great to see the
excitement that this hobby brings to people.
The first mystery is the best!! Now, you may not want to do the normal, run
of the mill letterboxes!
Have fun!

I'm so excited i found 3 letterboxes this weekend and i even carved
a stamp.I did see that there were baggies in the letterbox so i took
them out after reeding all of the letters on this chatlist. This is
such great fun. This so much more fun than geocaching. I love it.
Thanks for all the help i have been getting.I have a question about
the count thing and i think the f is for finds, and the p is for
placed? is the x for former, like in x husbands? or does it stand
for something else? Wher do you keep tract of your finds? Is there
many others letterboers in LA?

I think if I am reading your post right, did you remove the baggies from IN
the box? Those are good. In my opinion you should not alter some ones box
unless asked to. The baggies on the inside keep logbooks and stamps dry, it
is the outside bags that everyone is talking about. I outside bag my boxes
and would appreciate it if they were left that way. X means exchange, when
you meet another boxer and exchange your sig stamps.

Wait, you didn't really remove the bags from the inside did you?! Yikes! I never change anyone's boxes but you do relize that the bags that everyone is talking about are outside of the box, not inside. The inside ones are much safer and are needed.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If the bags were *inside* the box, protecting the logbook and protecting the
stamp, they were definitely likely meant to be there. I always double-bag the
logbook in each of our placed boxes, single-bag the stamp separately, and
then if I include an inkpad (which I haven't been doing lately) that's also in
it's own separate baggie. So my boxes will actually contain 4 bags.
And some placers *do* bag the box itself and want it that way.
A good rule of thumb might be, rather than change anything drastically, when
you get home go to the letterboxing.org website and click on "contact placer"
on that particular box's page and let the placer know when you found the box
and what condition it was in. Then they can decide if there's a problem or
not.
I used to think it might be better to just put it at the end of the clues as
to how the box should be put together. I know sometimes after stamping in
it's hard to remember exactly how the placer might have had something, and one
never knows if the boxer before them put it back together properly or not
anyway. So I thought it might be better to put it on the clue sheet. But when I
did that, a lot of folks didn't seem to pay much attention to it anyway.

I label the bags themselves with a Sharpie marker. I found a box that
was done that way and it was so helpful in getting the right bits back
into the right bags that I picked up the habit.

Eek! Those little baggies need to get back to their homes right away, before the next
storm. They were certainly meant to be there to protect the logbooks.

When you meet another letterboxer, it's customary to exchange the image of each of
your signature stamps. I, for one, have never kept count and don't have a clue how
many I have but some folks keep a runnung tally of these exchanges and call them
their X count.
> or does it stand for something else? Wher do you keep tract of your finds?
Once again, this is optional. If do you choose to keep a record of the boxes you've
found, you can officially log them on Atlas Quest. Only boxes which are posted on
that site will show up in your count. Otherwise, it's up to you to keep the count in
your own logbook.
Be sure to have a look at the FAQs on several of the excellent sites to be found on the
web regarding letterboxing, such as: www.letterboxinging.info , www.atlasquest.com
, www.letterboxing.org Good luck, Funhog
