[LbNA] New to the group...

From: carol pedersen (pedersenteevens@cablespeed.com) | Date: 2004-08-04 18:49:15 UTC-04:00
Hello All!

We're new to letterboxing... and new to Michigan after moving here from
Lancaster, PA this past February. We look forward to both finding
letterboxes in SE Michigan, and also planting some of our own!

Question for you all: Are there lots of websites for letterboxing
clues... or is it just the one at "LBNA?" The recent Time article on
letterboxing coverage and no doubt tons more devotees, eh?!?!?> stated that "more
than 9,000 letterboxes" have been planted around the country. Are there
that many on the LbNA site?

Thanks and happy hunting everyone!

Welcome Carol,

Good question. Well the LBNA is certainly one of the best & most
comprehensive sites for clues it is NOT the end of the road for
clues. There are boxes that contain clues to other boxes. There
are clues that are only passed by word of mouth (WOM). There are
clues that you must earn by collecting x number of boxes. There are
other sites where people post their own clues & do not bother with
LBNA. There are even clues that bounce from box to box- like hitch
hiking stamps. Search the web, join the group, follow the links &
eventually you too will have 30 pages bookmarked in your web browser
pertaining to letterboxing. But start with LBNA because it's a
great place to start. Do a yahoo or google search to look a little
deeper & let the fun begin!

Happy Hunting!
The Family

Other listings are found on the LBNA links page:
http://www.letterboxing.org/Links.asp

I strongly suggest you check out Atlast Quest and when in Maine, "Letterboxing in
Maine" - and there are of course, the unmentionables, the clues that are not on the
internet - ANYWHERE - the "word of mouth" (WOM) clues.

In the words of T.Cooch, "the game is afoot" so keep on your toes!
