Hello All,
hi, my name is Jenni and I just discovered Letterboxing yesterday! I am an
avid rubberstamp and paper arts artist.... (collage, assemblage, altered
books, mail art, artistamps, etc.) I regularly get the various magazines
about rubber stamping and paper arts... well, in the latest issue of "the
rubber stamper" there was an article on Letterboxing... a few hours reading
on the net and here I am! this sounds so great! a chance to get out and hike
:) see wonderful spots I would never know to find otherwise :) and bring my
art with me!! :)
as of yet, I have not seen a box, lol. but I am raring to go! any advice
anyone can give a virgin letterboxer? anyone have any idea where to find
some clues specific to the SF bay area CA? (I'm in El Sobrante) what is the
etiquette on placing a box if you have yet to find one? (I'd love to place
one, hehe) any help on anything would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome!!! Lizardbuttsfamily is in S.F.Bay area. I'm sure they
can help you. The biggest complaint about that area is the lack of
letterboxers. Everything is high tech so geocaching seems to be the
thing. I personally feel it's "cheating". I like the thrill of the
hunt. Besides I'm just a slow learning old Easterner.

Hi,
Jenni,
I'm
fairly new, also. Just saw the article in the Rubber Stamp magazine shortly
after finding my first box (less than two weeks ago. My husband and moved to
Oregon from the Bay Area four years ago. You've got some great places to plant
boxes. I come to CA several times a year. Next trip in late September.
I'll have to look for any you've planted when I'm down.
I hid
my first box last Monday in Klamath County. "Mt. Mazama's Treasure". I'm a
jewelry designer in my other life, so letterboxing gets me away from my workroom
and out getting some exercise in the sun. The art of carving stamps, making log
books and clue writing just rounds out the fun!
Hope
you have a great time LBing,
The
Sherbet Cat
aka
Kathy
