Hi, This letterbox is always getting things put into it. Seems like a lot of geocachers find it and put things in it. The same thing happens to the one on top of Overlook Mountain. It makes it extra special to pass some of the things around like a harmonica that was once in it and a "Where's George" $1 dollar bill. Who knows where they end up???? Fun for every one! Peace&Love...... budster of the Catskills.... Max our PUGGLE too!

I bet those boxes are close to Geocaches?

I am a Geocacher and the geocaching.com site has a type of geocache
that is also a hybrid letterbox. I know of one letterbox here in Iowa
that is listed on both sites.

Unfortunately, sometimes geocachers don't know that the box is a letterbox
(and not a geocache) and take the stamp & leave something in it's place. I
had this happen in two of my boxes in the same park--lost the handcarved
stamps and gained a bumpersticker and a keychain. :-( But, how are they to
know if they don't know about letterboxing? So, now I mark all of my boxes
very clearly as "NOT A GEOCACHE!" as well as the usual letterboxing info, in
the hopes that it doesn't happen again.
I think the hybrids are great--introduces both hobbies to each other. I've
even passed a long a "Hybrid hitchhiker/travel bug" from one hybrid box to
another. It's great the geocaching.com has a special icon for this type of
box!
