Well well, Im thinking the only way to attempt to put
some letterbox right in D.C. is to use microboxes.
How do these usually work? Im thinking of using a
film container, but what do I use in terms of a log
bog. Of course it must be a small stamp too.
help!?!?

Check out the photos of GeoFlyFisher's "Mini Letterbox" and Microbox in the
LBNA Yahoo! group site:
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/letterbox-usa/lst
(You'll need to log in first.) The Mini Letterbox is a double film canister
-- I think it's 2 canisters taped together end to end, the stamp goes in
one side, the log is rolled up in the other.
You don't need an inkpad. Just think small!

Funhog's our resident miniaturization expert. She just came up with
a prototype that's 2"x2"! Flyfisher has used film containers. Both
have put up pictures of these box types in the files/photos section.

Thanks for the link to the photo of a microbox. Very clever using a
roll up log and two film canisters. I may have to try this tactic
myself sometime. Thank you for sharing.

I found a letterbox with no box, just zip lock bags. This might be easier
to hide in a crack or under something in the city.
I'm from DC by the way and am very intrigued by "urban" boxes.

Sorry to all if this is a repeat. Tried last night and didnt' seem to post.
I'm trying a seemingly new technique, the LimpetBox. Might not be a true
letterbox as I haven't put in a log (too small). The limpetBox uses the
plastic 'spare-key' box with magnets people use to hide a spare key under
their car. It's big enough to hold a rubber eraser I carved, and is held by
the magnets to the bottom of a pedestrian bridge. Requires the retriever to
be very discrete, but opens up great opportunities, especially in urban
settings.

What a novel idea! How about the key holder designed to look like a rock?
I can only foresee one problem though. Keeping the contents dry
