After doing my first Letterboxing trip (Who Let The Dogs Out), I was
wondering; what do you put in your personal log?
Do you just stamp? Do you write notes? (what kind?) ... or do you do
it more like a journal?
Just looking for ideas. =)

I put the date, who was with me (if applicable), whether I was the first to
find it (happened!), and notes about the approach.

I do miine like a journal - I put the stamp in the same place
on each page and describe the day, the scenery, my blisters or
anything else that comes to mind. I also describe for my own
reading pleasure 'a rating for the hike'. My ratings tell me how
tough the hiking was and how good the clues were. This helps me
the next time when the same "Author" tells me it's just a mile up
the road and it's really more like two. Some people have longer
legs than I do. ;-)

My logbook is like a journal. I glue the clues in, stamp, and then write
the date and a little about the hike. Interesting things we saw, or
anything at all about the hike. A lot of times I take a picture somewhere
along the hike and I also put that in my journal.

My logbook is like a scrap book. I indicate if I am planting or hunting a
letterbox with one of two stamps that I have carved. I include a copy of
the clues, pictures that I've taken on the trail, the letterbox image, and
the signature image in the color that I used on the trail. If I have a
hunting or planting companion I include their signature image to. I write
notes, anything that comes to mind, including the date the box was planted,
by whom, and of course the date that I found or placed the box.
As you can imagine the Logbook is big so I don't bring it with me on the
hike. I take blank paper with me or a very small sketch pad. When I get
home and the pictures are developed I cut everything out and paste it into
the book. Personally I think this is way too much effort. But in my
enthusiasm when I started letterboxing this is the system I started and I'm
too lazy to change it.
Life is Good, Wendy

I too keep a logbook with lots of little notes in additin to the stampe images I find in the boxes. In England, most letterboxers use cards to collect their stamped images. The take severla imressins of the stamp. That way if they mess up the first time, they can do it over. The cards are easier to handle than a book. They can re arrange the stamps anyway they like: alphabetical, by date, by geographic location, etc.SpaceTraveler

I am like Wendy Gault, My log is like a scrapbook. I paste in the
clues to the box and write all kinds of things about the weather, who
I was with, what the hike was like....how hard it was to find the
thing (or how easy)
I also take pictures on the hike and paste them in the book
too...although, my book is not that big (I do a lot of cropping)
I carry it with me on all my hikes and after only 25 stamps, it is
starting to look a little ragged, but I am very attached to it
now...I think I should be able to fit 100 stamps into it!! and that
is my goal right now.

It never occurred to me to try a scrapbook-type thing - I have YEARS of
pictures in boxes next to stacks of empty photo albums....
When I knew I was going out for my first stamp, I bought a small handbound
leather notebook with handmade paper. It's sort of rustic looking, and ties
with a leather thong. It fits in the lower pockets of my cargo pants. It
is mysterious-looking, very old-fashioned, and the stamps on the unbleached
paper with natural edges make the whole thing seem like an ancient treasure
piece.
One friend I've been trying to interest in letterboxing seemed rather cool
to the idea until he saw my logbook - he handled it like it was a precious
antique, and I know the stamps inside intrigued him. We'll see....

Subject: Re: [LbNA] Your Log Book
It never occurred to me to try a scrapbook-type thing - I have YEARS of
pictures in boxes next to stacks of empty photo albums....
When I knew I was going out for my first stamp, I bought a small handbound
leather notebook with handmade paper. It's sort of rustic looking, and ties
with a leather thong. It fits in the lower pockets of my cargo pants. It
is mysterious-looking, very old-fashioned, and the stamps on the unbleached
paper with natural edges make the whole thing seem like an ancient treasure
piece.
One friend I've been trying to interest in letterboxing seemed rather cool
to the idea until he saw my logbook - he handled it like it was a precious
antique, and I know the stamps inside intrigued him. We'll see....

That log book sounds so cool. I couldnt find anything like that here.
I ended up get a medium drawing pad. I'd love to one day see your
logbook. And hope one day in the way future to find something just as
interesting myself.

Judi, are you and your sports-car husband returning to the Glen this
fall ? You may have noted that there are a couple of new letterboxes
nearby - on Sugar Hill and on the Finger Lakes Nat'l. Forest. I
haven't returned to yours since I found it last fall; want me to
check it for you ? (It would not be inconvenient for me to do so.)

the stamps anyway they like: alphabetical, by date, by geographic
location, etc.

Bob
We will be up for the vintage festival. The other
SpaceTraveler races a 1966 Lancia Fulvia HF that he has restored himself and
raced for the past 9 years. I am looking forward to hunting your boxes when I
come to visit. It would be good of you to check my box at the Glen. If I have
time, I will plant another when I come up.
