allo
i helped a fried of mine plant a letterbox my 3rd day into the chase,
and while i didnt think it was entirely appropriate for the place it
was laid to rest, i think it was cute and worth the walk. and it
still hasnt been posted. i shall bother her about it.
most of the stamps i have found have not been consistent with their
location, and one of the three that was, was damaged. i think the
underlying theme is that we are being tricked into some form of
ewxercise and that, i cannot in any way, argue with. anyways, i have
not been truly dissapointed in any of the stamps i have found and
actually have found 3 hitchhikers!
so if it's a great stamp and location, i give it a 100%.
if its a great stamp and poor location, i give it 75%.
if its a great location and poor stamp, i give it 75%.
if its anything else, i shall simply choose not to comment on it.
as thumpers daddy said, if you cant say anything nice...
your comments?

Spike,
Can you explain what you mean by "most stamps you've found not being
consistent with their location....? Does your statement refer to
problems with the clues or choice of location considering theme of
stamp? Just curious....

Some boxes have stamps that relate to the box's location, others have
random themes. If you can think of an image that fits the place--and
if you have the skills to carve something fancy--great! If you just
want to carve a particular image and use that image in your next box,
wherever the box may go, that's fine, too. Some of my stamps relate
specifically to their box locations, others don't. One of my most
popular boxes--This Little Pig in Amherst, Mass.--has no relation
whatsoever to the hiding place, yet people seem especially drawn to
it.
Do whatever you feel like doing. I have yet to be disappointed in any
handcarved stamp that I have found. They are all great, whether
highly detailed or very simple. I just love seeing the images that
people make.
I must admit I am a little disappointed when I find a box with a
storebought stamp. Of course it's fun to do the hike and decipher the
clue, but I feel a little less excited about those boxes.
