Hello all, am a new letterboxer and would enjoy hearing from other folks who
are out there. My wife and I travel thru out the USA with our horses and do
a lot of wilderness, national park, BLM land, type of thing, camping on the
road as to speak for 4-8 months a year, then writing about our travels in a
National Magazine called the Trail Rider (
HREF="www.trailridermagazine.com">www.trailridermagazine.com) This fall
we did a 7 day trip to Conn. Rhode Island, and Mass. Our host was a lady from
Voluntown CT, and help us find our first three letterboxes. We rode 6
different trails 2 each in the three states we visited. Its funny that we
should learn about boxing as we have been leaving our business cards and a
note in 35 mm film cans all over the USA. Just to see if anyone was cat
enough to open them up. We have ridden in 45 states and over two hundred
different places. I have a cork board map with pins in it for all the
different spots we have ridden. Looks like a you know what. I have talked
to the Mad Stamper, M. Klink and got into this group. We now plan on placing
boxes where ever we go, our first is in a state game management area near our
home in Horseheads, NY. Klink was or has, I haven't checked lately, going to
up date the web with our box. So how about some suggestions and a little help
for a couple new folks,
Garth & Kathy

WOW. from what I understand, this is exactly how letterboxing started a couple of hundred years back, with this guy leaving his calling card at Cranmere Pool on Dartmoor. Did you know that, or is this just an amazing coincidence. Sounds like you should be able to find a home away from home with us. A perfect fit, I'd say.
A question though; was the the town named after you moved there or did you choose to live in Horseheads because it just fit? ;)
I know lots of input on the list. Any particular areas you had in mind?
Any chance you might ride your horses up to Killington,VTthe 1st weekend of November? Tom C. has organized a little letterboxing get together at the Inn at Long Trail (www.innatlongtrail.com)
I'd love to be able to kinda follow along (virtually that is) on your adventures. Welcome to the hobby!
