I came across an article in a magazine about letterboxing at my
dentist's office, but failed to take down a lot of the informaton.
Where do I start?

I just sent this exact answer to the Newboxers list, so I'll repost
it here, while it's handy! You may want to join that Yahoo group...
they're really good about answering
questions. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newboxers/
I'm not sure how in-depth the magazine you saw was, but there's a ton
of information that they probably didn't cover.
Some of the most important aspects are to be stealthy so that people
do not see you retrieve or replace the boxes; put the box back in the
same place you found it and cover it up really well to make sure it's
not visible to people who do not letterbox; be nice to the
environment; close up the baggies and boxes tightly to protect from
water damage...
The best thing to do is read a lot about it first. Here are a few
good places to start...
http://www.letterboxing.org/GettingStarted/
http://www.atlasquest.com/aboutlb/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newboxers/files/
Once you've read up on things and poked around those two first sites,
you'll be able to search for clues in your area. A lot of planters
list their clues on both of the sites so there is some overlap, but
there are also plenty who only use one site or the other.
Have fun!

I'd also recommend Silent Doug's site, letterboxing.info . That one and dot org where the ones I had at my disposal as a newbie and all they answered all of my questions.
