This brings up another thing I was thinking about. I read on
someones site in the webring that it was a good idea to bring a
wipe to clean off the stamp you find.

Do you guys think its a good idea to bring along extra baggies in
case the one you find has holes or is torn?

The reason I ask is The Flame of Hope box, tho in great condition,
the baggies are getting a little worn out. I was sitting there writing
in my journal and thought of this.

I found an interesting tip on Mischief's Letterbox site that listed
items to carry in sort of an "emergency repair kit" including extra
baggies, etc.

Here is the link to the home page:

And the link specifically to the repair kit list:

http://home1.gte.net/res0fpfm/letterboxes/tips.htm#Repair%20Kit

I thought this was a great idea and put together a little kit with
general first aid supplies and letterbox repair items that I keep in
my "letterboxing backpack."

A word on the wipes... just be careful when cleaning stamps,
especially hand carved stamps... wipes can be brutal on delicately
carved eraser rubber! Never rub the stamp, rather stamp against the
wipe like it were a piece of paper to remove the excess ink.

I don't think that the owner of a box would mind if a baggie is
replaced. Who ever placed the box wanted it protected and the baggie
is part of that protection. We would hate to send some one out to a
box to replace a baggie if we have extra right there. The stamp, ink
pad, and log book should NEVER BE REPLACED WITH OUT STRICT
PERMISSION!!

I can totally understand about the stamp and logbook, but why the ink pad?
Just curious :)

Hi Amanda,
Good question. Here's an example for you. At Amy's and Mine
(sorry about the grammor, and spelling) 100th box we launched a
hitchhiker call Centi-bration. The ink was gold, on purpose, as a
way of saying "Hey we made it!" The owner of a specific letterbox may
have had a reason for the color left with the stamp. Another example
for ya would be, I know of a stamp that's an ambulance with the color
blue, again a specific color for a stamp. So I wouldn't want to
change the feel of the letterbox by changing the ink pad without
permission.

Again that's just our take on it. Have fun
Patrick and Amy

Not as of this writing sorry. With my work schedual, Amy's work
schedual, and my school schedual it's tough to put two moments
together. We were aiming at getting the stuff needed tobe replaced
on friday night(tomorrow) and replacing the boxes saturday after I
got out of school. The other problem is the park is being updated so
at least one of the boxes is going to have tobe moved slightly, and
we're going to have to submit new clues for that box.
If we don't get it out in time for you, again sorry, there is another
box in the park that we planted that's still there that's eazy. Or if
you want Leader-of-the-Pack has planted quite a few in the Mansfield
area that are eazy, and all the stamps are execlent.
The apperently to slow,
Patrick and Amy
