Hi there, The stamps that we place are actually hand drawn but made by a professional stamping place... where does that place them?
Anyway, I love the adventure of searching and finding, some people are SO creative with either making or buying appropriate stamps.
I confess, I am an addict, but a happy one!

In the same class as the Dartmoor folks, I think. Not an entirely bad
place to be. :-)
With an eye to the dream of a someday-trip to letterbox at Dartmoor, I
was looking at some of their websites last night. Perhaps because of
the nature of the location (the whole USA vs a large, but not
country-sized moor) the hobby/sport seems to have evolved differently
over here and a lot of the things people here say tick them off are
commonplace there. Stamps get registered and re-registered every 5
years now - if it isn't re-registered, it's apparently removed from
'the list' since it can't be confirmed to be active. Stamps seem to be
hand-drawn, but commercially produced in most if not all cases - and I
found at least one website where the author expressed the view that
*all* Dartmoor-placed stamps should be Dartmoor related or not be
placed at all. Even the clues have a different feel.
Before anyone gets hot, I don't think either way is better or anything
is wrong here or there. I enjoy 'our' style of letterboxing as it is.
Just found the differences interesting. And I am now even more
interested in going since the game is a bit different over there.
