This idea is probably an airball, but I'd figure while were talking
about naming, suggesting "Letterboxing North America".
Like others, I dislike some of the nationalistic stuff. So, replace
a political entity with a geograpic one.
One could argue that it tries to "take over" other countries in
North America. I don't look at it that way, in part because I do
not look at things nationalistically, and because to those who do,
its a welcome for other locales in North America to become part of
it. I certainly intend to place boxes in Canada someday; there are
too many geographical nooks and crannies to pass up ;-)
Oh, well, my two cents :-)

I've been thinking about this issue for quite a while, but felt perhaps
we'd been using "Letterboxing USA" for too long to suggest a change.
However, I also can forsee placing a few boxes in Canada, and, as
likely, we might just get a few Canadians involved. I work close enough
to Canada (greater Burlington area) to have 3 commuters (albeit on
weekends) from north of the border.
If this can be accomplished, I'd be in favor of the change.

I suppose Letterboxing America would be out of the question as too broad. By June 2 there will be at least two letterboxes in the Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica. Perhaps that's something for the International Letterboxing Club page though.

That would be outstanding for a listing in the ILC catalog! Please do
list them. As I mentioned, I will be reworking the catalog (over the next
week) to make it very easy to list your boxes. Thanks!

I can't help but agree with Randy. I too will be traveling some in Canada
and probably south of the border.
The Canadians are avid nature lovers and hikers. When I am up there I
can't tell the difference in the borders except an occasional "eh"!
They in turn I expect will travel through the U.S. to collect our boxes.
It will be a pleasure to satisfy my goals of salting B.C. and Edmonton in
the next few years.
I'm just a continent loyalist here in Kansas City.....
