Hello all,
I am not a moderator, I don't post often so some of you might not know that I am one of the original "gang" who founded this site and group. I read posts daily and am continually delighted by the diversity the talklist embraces. My perspective usually embraces concepts such as :
tolerance
be kind to one another
be polite, even when you disagree
some things are better left off-list
Now I am asking ALL OF YOU - Please drop the medical PLB thread and related content. Everyone needs a time out.
Please move on to a new subject. Perhaps? Have you ever returned to the same letterbox bringing friends with you?
Regards,
Susan

Yes! When my mom visits, she wants to visit some of the places that
letterboxes are planted and get the stamp for herself. It's fun to
see
the stamp again and read through the logbook. I also have a friend
who
can't always box when I can. When we do get together, we sometimes
go
to boxes that one or the other of us has missed out on. What fun!

Hi,
Me too! If I find a box that is absolutely delightful, I tend to
invite a few friends--people who've expressed interest in letterboxing
but haven't actually tried it yet--to join me "re-finding" the box, so
that they can see what a great hobby this is.
For me, letterboxing can be like going on attractions at Disney or
Universal. After finding the box and returning home, I often think,
"Oooh, I want to do that again!" But of course, it's silly to revisit
the letterbox on your own... so I drag along friends as an excuse to
go back, and I know that several of them took up letterboxing as a
result.
Thanks for asking!
Cheerfully,
Aisling

I have! We recently took new friends to our first
box. We were out on a scouting excursion and they had
expressed an interest in boxing on a previous
excursion. We hiked to the box, taking the long way
around. As we approached the box, they decided to
take a break and rest for a bit. Lo and behold, they
chose to sit on the very log where the box was hidden
and in fact, perched their rears right over it!
Imagine their surprise when I started rooting around
for the box right underneath them! They jumped up
startled, and we all had a good laugh. I remember
that feeling of being taken by surprise to find a box
so well hidden that you are shocked to find it's
there.
I've now also taken them to some of my own boxes as
well as to find boxes I've never found either. I must
say, I got a lot of pleasure out of not telling them a
box was mine, then reading the clues and watching them
follow them. Interesting to watch someone interpret
your own clues.

That's it. No more then. Sue has spoken. Please squash it. Not a person to mess with.

Have I? Shoot, I carved my daughter her own sig stamp for her birthday
so I'd have an excuse to revisit boxes... particularly my own. ;-)
I've accompanied two 'boxing parties on the series I created (link
below), and one of those expeditions led to the 4th box in the series
being their 100th Find! What a trip!
The other was a great time biking the paths with a former colleague
(but still a friend).

And, when I get a chance, I checkup on another box in the area whose
owner is out-of-state.

Hi Susan,
I just returned from a three day letterboxing raft trip and was
mother henning Cadenza, ABear, and JBear down the East Fork of the
Carson river near Markleeville, Ca. in their little inflatable kayaks.
All in pursuit of our solitary letterbox at midway point on the river
(One visitor since 2002). Needless to say there are many more boxes to
find in this part of the country now. Both Cadenza and ABear were
carving their brains out at camp creating some beautiful stamps, and
JBear was searching for fish. Now those that missed the trip, and you
know who you are, can either find the new letterboxes via raft or
kayak, or hike in 6+ miles. Will there be another one? Who knows?
Rafting for letterboxes is a wet thankless job, but someone has to do
it.

I know what a grand time you must have had! I have boxed with ABear and Cadenza myself and would certainly jump at the opportunity to do it again. Two great letterboxers and wonderful friends.
