Same here - We've just recently gotten hooked via the Wash Post
article and your boxes were the first we've found. Thanks for the
great stamps! We can't wait to start placing some for you to find.
Happy Hunting!! :)

I am also new to what I call My New Addiction, thanks to the
Washington Post. The heat has kept me at bay, so I've been learning
all I can about letterboxing and geocaching on the internet.

TO fireflylight: Thanks for Columbia and Elkridge boxes. Finally
something close by to hunt. I have a feeling my post went to your e-
mail. I'm still learning how all this works.(talking on the computor)

The Washington Post article got my family started as well. We've only gone to three so
far due to this horrible heat but we can't wait to get out to more. We've started on a
letterbox of our own and will hopefully have that out soon. : )

Squirrel,

I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the hunts for
your boxes in particular, and I'm sorry that you had been
discouraged. I truly look forward to searching again for more of
your boxes in the fall or whenever you can get them out there. If
there's anything I can do to help out with your MD boxes, I'd be
happy to do so...you could mail me a new stamp for Lake Frank
Turtle, for instance, and my family and I could put it out there, or
something for any of the other boxes. We're in central Montgomery
County, so those would be no trouble. Yours were the first boxes we
found, so we'd feel pretty special to be able to help out. Just let
me know! :)

Happy Hunting,
Mama Frog, of the Forest Frog Family
(talk about a silly hobby...I love our name!)
