I also want to thank the webmasters for spending so much of their free
time keeping letterboxing.org up and running. Without them boxing
would still be in the stone age in our country. I think a lot of
folks just don't realize the amount of work involved in maintaining a
website, especially one that size...and it is Big. So, thank you
webmeisters of LbNA for keeping the well maintained and easily
accessible center of clues. You guys are doing a great job.

about, at the end of the day it is all about being out on the trail,
or moor, or wherever you prefer to box and having fun. Its not an
olympic sport....yet.......and neither do we get paid for it, our
reward, as stated by alwayschaos, is something which many people in
this world live without.........the freedom to just go out and do it
when we feel like it. Letterboxing is all about being outside, not
sitting at a computer talking about it or trying to figure out the
meaning of life. Sometimes we take ourselves to seriousley. You are
very lucky to have a group like this, we in the UK have very little
apart from some very good personal sites and a well put together MSN
group, but talk between us brits is limited (which i feel is a poor
show considering that this is the home of boxing). Testamony to this
lies in the 2 days i spent with the Bakers Dozen, the most fun I've
had letterboxing to date! and thats what it is

happens to letterboxing on a daily basis - boxes go missing, people
steal stamps and yet we simply replace them and carry on, its all we
can do, and no amount of finger pointing or swearing will change that.
