Hi
>Kokopelli (John Chidester)
WELCOME TO THIS GREAT AND HAPPY HOBBY FROM ACROSS THE POND...
I loved your posting..so nice to see every new letterboxer on the site
saying Hi..It ceratinly cheers me up a heap to see our hobby grow.....
I guess the answers to all your questions should come from LbNA folk in
the USA but a Brit would say "Yeah" to all of em...
Put a name or email or whatever on your personal ..It's "YOUR" personal
stamp after all !
And of course ...put out boxes the way you would like to find em ! In
walks or ones ..with cryptic or plain clues ..but always with enjoyment !
As a crazy old letterboxing Brit you are at liberty to ignore all this and
do you own thing..that is a part of the fum imvho !
The main rule is, however, to enjoy !
And.... I loved your lighthouses website...I am a lighthouse fan...
They are "places at a boundary" .. and magical things always happen at
bounadries...(Wizard's Lore !
They are at the boundary of modern technology and ancient seafaring, and
the boundary of architecture and folly ..and remote and yet so cosy...and
of course on the boundary of land and sea....Phew !
With all those great things going for them, they are wonderful topics for
and places for hiding Letterboxes imho !
Sadly we have closed all ours down !
One day I may take you up on one of your trips...
Sincere Best Wishes !
