an interesting outing.

Hi all am new to letter boxing have found a few and posted a few
already. I have a question tho, is there a certain distance you have
to place your boxes from other boxes? I kno with geocaches they have
to be like .01 miles but couldnt find anything about box placement.

thanks!

I pretty distinctly recall there being no rules about placing new
letterboxes in regards to where others are, but you do want to avoid
saturating one area with boxes and like Baqash said, have them far enough
apart to make it interesting.

if there are rules we've had to break them for our Lighthouse series. We do however believe that if the reasoning fits and it's still an interesting outing there's no issue. Some are close some are far, It's the adventure that makes it good!

But how do you know whether or not there are others within the specified
radius?

The best we can do is be aware of what is planted out there. Do the finds in
an area before planting there.

But what if you only enjoy planting, and don't care to do all that
much finding. Sounds like a rule against such to me.

Can't imagine a boxer not wanting to find. whatever

You can still be aware by looking at what's there unless they are mystery
boxes. Not that hard.

I think you have to 'think outside the box' to imagine these
possibilities.

On the contrary, it is hard. Some web sites, for example, require that
you have logged so many finds on that web site to see all the boxes in
a particular area. Given that, how is it possible for non-users of
those web sites? May these non-users not create boxes under your rule?

Not only are you suggesting a rule, you are therefore suggesting the use
of specific web site(s) and levels of performance on those web site(s)
in order to comply with this suggested rule.

Hard indeed.

JMHO, of course,
Cheers
Randy

No one made any rules, just a reasonable suggestion that one should make a
reasonable effort to not saturate an area with boxes, which remains a
reasonable suggestion. It seems like you're pointlessly being pedantic and
oppositional, particularly considering Baqash and I both very clearly stated
that there are no rules.

Not at all. I don't think the suggestion is reasonable, that's all. If
everyone felt it was reasonable, it would not be an issue of contention.

You can't say 'don't saturate an area with boxes', and then say 'you are
not making rules', especially when the rule is pointless,
unquantifiable, and unenforceable.

Its just someone's opinion of how the letterboxing world should be to
them, and I disagree with it. And I'm entitled to rational
disagreement. Calling me names won't change my opinion of the
wrongheadedness of the "suggestion".

Cheers,
Randy

A suggestion is not a rule. There are no rules, as has been stated. I'm
not going to engage in this nonsense any longer.

A few years ago I would have concurred with this suggestion... other than WOM boxes, there was one place where most publicly available letterbox clues were listed, the number of boxes in a given area was something one could wrap their arms around, as well, it was not uncommon for a letterboxer to know, or know of, most of the local letterboxers. It was feasible to think one had a pretty good handle on the majority of boxes within their immediate area. To avoid saturating an area and to spread boxes to unboxed areas, I did take into consideration where existing boxes were located. But with various places to look for clues, and as suggested, restrictions for even seeing some of the clues, and just the general increase in numbers of boxes and boxers, it would be pretty difficult to have this kind of awareness in many areas now. Not to mention, boxes come and go so quickly, people list boxes that are "coming soon" and parks get saturated overnight by an event or an 18-box series, etc. that I pay far less attention to the location of existing boxes when planting.

I think more importantly, one should strive to find an interesting location and a secure hiding spot and come up with clues that provide an interesting and/or challenging adventure. If each box provided a satisfying letterboxing experience, it wouldn't matter to me if there were several boxes within close proximity to one another, as long as it posed no undue environmental stress to the surrounding area.

An interesting discussion...

My two cents: in these days of high fuel prices and efforts to reduce our carbon footprints, I'm happy to find boxes in relatively close proximity!

That being said, I once planted a box in a wall apparently immediately under an existing box. I was unaware of the box, because it was a part of a lengthy, multi-town series, listed by a different town. One of these days I'm going to find that series!!

Beyond the fact that there may be a mystery box or three in any given
area, why should anyone really worry about being close to another box.
If you are clever you can write clues that will lead one to the box in a
totally different way. And if the finder is clever they will figure out
they are in the same place. Try thinking outside the everyday step by
step clues.

Its a classic frame of reference problem (my allusion to

clues, especially those in states with really long names.).

For those wanting to plant regardless to proximity of other

Absolutely! Make sure you advise us prior to the visit. Best time is
Spring or Fall as Summer is way to hot and we leave for cooler climes.

I missed the first few mails on this question but- when placing a box I usually only worry about geocaches. The trick is to keep a little distance from them. Since I will hunt for them, too, I understand the problems that crop up for that crowd. There are some truly evil people that create caches that cause one to think of murder (I'm kidding, I'm kidding...). Cachers with that kind of experience will range out widely to get their fix.


I'm not worried about saturation, it just more fun. For example, the State of Connecticut placed a box roughly eight feet from one of mine. I highly doubt they checked-so what?

Hey new type person- distance? Do what you want.

Yes, and it can sometimes be quite boring.

I've always liked the fact that Americans tend to play their own game. Just
personal taste.

I grew up with them and never much got into letterboxing at that time
because I found them boring. My sister, on the other hand, was kind of half
& half. Half bored, half enthusiastic.

I found that most letterboxers who liked the boxes located in the pubs
basically liked the pubs. Not being a drinker, I never drank enough to
appreciate the boxes in the pubs. :-) Food was often halfway decent
however. In a very simple way. But things like bangers & mash, and
shepherd's pie suit me just fine.

To each his/her own. :-)

Ah ales...........I've found that a boxer's interest in indoor pub boxes
increases in direct proportion to how much ale they intend to consume.
There's a box that's inside a bar here only a few blocks from my parents'
house and I haven't yet found it. Altho I haven't found any inside boxes at
all to date.

Yes, Dartmoor as well as America succumbed to the lazy. Why have just a
drive-by box when one can have an easy box and drink at the same time?

This whole thing about distance is unnecessary (in my opion) I
recently planted a box very close to another and the original planter
was very happy to have another box in her area to find. If you have
any questions about planting near another box, simple write to the
person who planted the original and ask if they mind. Otherwise, I
think it's perfectly OK to plant wherever you decide. As previously
stated, there are no rules regarding this topic and if the person who
planted the original is OK with it, go ahead. --- In letterbox-
