After a full day of hiking/letterboxing, I see nothing lazy about
stopping in a pub for a well-earned refreshment, and if there is a
letterbox to be had while drinking, all the better. Though I'll admit,
many Americans (and possibly Dartmoor folks) can be lazy, I resent
being lumped into that category, and I'm sure many others do, too.

After we did the Dartmoor thing we took a multi day bus tour in
Scotland with several other folks. First time we have ever done this.
It was interesting to see what some of the folks ordered at the Pubs.
There were two guys that ordered Bud. I couldn't believe it at first,
but at every stop that was their choice.

Bud actually has alot of cachet in many parts of
the world outside the US.
In fact, a large Belgian/Brazilian brewer (InBev,
best known for the Stella Artois brand in America)
recently bought AB with the goal of making Bud a
worldwide, mass-produced, mass distributed brand.
I'm sure that is more than you wanted to know about
the global beer business. I personally drink beer
brewed right here in Chester County (Victory), and
only know of Bud's business as a result of my work.
I've always wondered, however, if I put Bud up against
cachet beers in a blind taste test, would casual beer
drinkers be able to tell? I'm sure those who know beer
better than myself may have done this experiment, or
could at least answer the question.

Well, consider yourself resentful then. And your "many others" too. :-)
You might have hiked a full day and then stopped in at a pub, but you still
nabbed a really nice easy box that basically required little to absolutely
no work or inconvenience on the part of a finder and, assuming the stamp was
hand-carved, it required only half the creativity on the part of the placer.

So according to you, every letterbox must entail a certain amount of
work and/or inconvenience to be worthwhile. In that case, maybe the
box in the pub requires the finder to score over 100 points in darts
before the clues are given. Or the finder has to buy a round for at
least 10 people before the box is brought out. My point is that just
because a box is in a place that does not require a long hike doesn't
mean it can't be creative or worth finding.
Now I'm off to do some actual letterboxing instead of debating it.

Buying a round for at least 10 people? Ooooh, now that's a box that's really
creative. :-) Scoring 100 points in darts might take time, and if the
finder is drinking, then it might take more time rather than less, but it's
hardly creative.
I'd say with both the placers you describe that the placer is more likely a
part owner in the establishment (or maybe a relative of the owner) and wants
folks to come spend some money. Hopefully lots of money. :-) That's the
only "creativity" in the examples you give.
Your post made ya thirsty, eh? Yes, by all means, go do some letterboxing
and buy some rounds. Buy a few of them. Remember to bring along a
designated driver tho please. Nah, you don't want to debate it. Debating
uses brain cells. Much easier to go find some easy boxes by buying 10
people a round and let the brain cells die in the alcohol. As I said, to
each his/her own.

In my personal experience I have found that indoor boxes are often much *more* creative than your run-of-the-mill trail box, both in terms of packaging and clues. Since it is indoors, it allows the placer to use materials that would not survive the elements and since there is not usually a lengthy hike involved, I have seen some very creative ways of delivering clues so as to still provide a fun and challanging experience for finders. Of course there are some that make no attempt at creativity, but this is just as true of trail boxes. This is due to the placer, not the place. Besides, there is nothing that says a letterbox has to be *creative.* Sure I love finding boxes with elegant handmade books and unqiue packaging. I love clever locations and clues and boxes with themes based on history, location, names, etc., but this is personal preference and creativity is really not a requirement when placing a letterbox, inside or outside.

Now this whole thread has made me laugh. Anyone who halfway knows Silver
Eagle knows that - first and foremost - he isn't a sucker for an easy box.
And secondly, they know that he and his brother, Baby Bear, are in large
part responsible for letterboxing getting started in Texas by planting many
boxes all over the state along nice hikes and remote trails. And in fact,
he and Baby Bear have taken off for a long weekend trip to venture into as
yet unboxed territory here in the Lone Star State to plant boxes (and I'm
betting the pub box or drive by box will be a scarcity amongst the ones they
plant) and find what precious few are already there. And lastly, they would
know that Silver Eagle hardly avoids a reasonable debate, but he rarely
makes more than a comment on flawed leaps of logic.

Not in a Pub, but close. This one is usually found by 1 out of 5
letterboxers that come into the area.

Can't say as I really care about knowing Silver Eagle. I'm sure he/she is a
wonderful person and maybe should be the focus of Wanda's next tribute. I
didn't think up Silver Eagle's examples. Silver Eagle thought up Silver
Eagle's examples. There are probably a lot of good examples of creative
indoor boxes -- those weren't two of 'em.
However, Springchick's ideas that an indoor box can be made nicer by a
placer since it's indoors and out of the elements.........to me that's just
drive-by postal letterboxing. Creative indoor clues would be a different
story however. But I've seen precious few clues in this area that are
creative for indoor boxes. Generally the clues merely consist of walking up
to a counter and giving out a password or waiting for the waitress and
giving him/her a password. There's one in a used bookstore in this area
that's much more creative with clues. Maybe will go find it one of these
days, if it's still there, but I prefer the outside elements. Indoors I
feel lazy........that's just me.
But when someone on this list -- this particular list of all places :-) --
attempts to say that they *resent* something, or that they're *offended* by
something, to me that's like nails on a
blackboard.............whine.......whine..........whiiiiiine.
State your case. Fergitabout the 'Ooooooh, I soooooooo resent ______ (fill
in the blank)!!!
And then there's always somebody who stands up, waves the flag, downs some
apple pie with their beer, presents Mom, and posts about how wonderful the
offended person is. :-)

I think any box whose clues take less than 6 months to puzzle
out is uncreative, those who find lesser boxes are lazy, and
judges other than myself who make these judgements less judgeworthy.

Ask any letterboxer from Texas to name the one person they respect
most in letterboxing. Nine times out of ten, the answer will be
Silver Eagle. That would be my answer as well.

Silver Eagle. That would be my answer as well.

I'm from CT and Silver Eagle would be on my short list of most respected boxers for sure.

Ask any letterboxer from Texas to name the one person they respect
most in letterboxing. Nine times out of ten, the answer will be
Silver Eagle. That would be my answer as well.

Randy, you are one of the most "creative" people I know. I'm working on 6 years for one
#$%@ box. I haven't given up yet.

Oh, I'm sure even Dubya speaks highly of Silver Eagle.
As far as folks standing up for me...........what's to stand up for? On a
matter as trivial as this, someone should feel I can't stand up for myself?
I'm not the one who was whining. I'm not the one who thought buying a round
of drinks for 10 people in a bar would be a "creative" set of "clues."
No, I don't think over something this silly that I need someone to stand up
for me. I might be embarrassed if someone bothered to. :-)

This conversation is now degenerated beyond what needs to be on the
board. How about you start another topic??? PLEASE!!
Something like...what to do when you run out of ink on the trail...
or... what happens if you spill water on your page of clues when you
are three miles into a good hike...
or... how to handle a large spider that has conveniently crawed
into your napsack and doesn't want to come back out
or...well, you get the idea.... change your line of drivel!!

I am now deleting all messages re this topic. I concur, enough is enough. I thought the letterboxing community was to bring people together, nt drive it apart. I realize we all have our own opinions, lucky for us as that makes for different stamps and different ideas. I just don't think it's necessary to air all our differences in this manner.

[LbNA] Re: newbie with distance question - Lazy

mind you), considerable computer time, and three reference books. The
box played at least a small part of my husband's argument for why he
needed a 4 wheel drive Jeep Wrangler. Pretty darn creative.
