[L-USA] The goal?

Regarding the 'goal' of letterboxing, I thought
I'd share with you the reasons I love the hobby. First it gets me onto Dartmoor
and secondly, finding a letterbox that someone else has hidden especially for me
to find is still a thrill even though I'm approaching 2000 boxes.
I guess it's only the number of boxes we have
over here that makes the real difference between the US and UK
letterboxers. I know that wherever I go on the Moor, I'll find something,
but I try to aim for the more remote ones which are less easy to find. We
have a whole variety of boxes and clues. Staright forward clues with a 6
figure grid reference and bearings off landmarks, clues with a 4 figure
reference and bearings, clues with no grid reference but bearings, and then, the
hardest, just a few bearings or cryptic clue. Of course there are also
thousands which have been put out with no clues at all. So there's
something for eveyone.
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned letterboxing gives me a reason
to get on Dartmoor.
