I've found many Geocaches this way. I like to check for geocaches in any
locale that I'm thinking of planting a letterbox. Sometimes you can find
trinkets in side that you can use as stamps (cleaning it afterwards of
course).

Hey, John,,,

Thanks for the link! I didn't realize that about cache boxing,,, and
I did find a geocache the other day under the same tree that a
letterbox was in. I thought it was maybe another letterbox 'till I
opened it... LOTS of different trinkets, etc. Think I'll go back,
and visit that place,,, :-)

I started carving "cacheboxing" stamps to use as trade items in case I run into a geocache. (Hey, they beat Happy Meal toys....)
