Dear Eric,
Nice to hear from you. There has not been a whole lot of activity in
any state other than Connecticut/Rhode Island, where Jay Drew is
preparing to plant his 100th letterbox on New year's Day. This
reagion is really becoming the Dartmoor of North America.
The clues for boxes placed in Florida are handled by Mitch Klink. He
is very busy as a student at the moment, and there is a backlog of
clues waiting to be posted. But send your clues to the group, and we
will hopefully get them up by the millenium.
Best,

[LbNA] Florida Letterboxes?

Hey y'all
I have been away from letterboxing for quite sometime due to other
committments (as may be apparent from the letterboxing.com site being
down for several months). I recently received a postcard from a lady
named Pam from Oregon (don't know if she is on this list) who found two
out three letterboxes I have placed in Florida. She couldn't find the
third and I need to go out and see if it has gone missing in the course
of the bad weather we had this summer/fall (near hurricane brushes). I
went to the letterboxing.org site today in the hopes that perhaps there
were new letterboxes in Florida besides my own. Alas, it does not
appear to be the case. Anyone out there going to place some boxes in
Florida? I sure would like to search for some besides my own ;-)
As an aside to Graham and others in England- yes I did arrange to have
a letterbox placed over there (double stamp at that) though I have not
yet published the clues. Since I probably won't be able to get my site
back up for a little while, I am wondering where I might post the clues
to my box in England. I could either send the clues to this list if
folks think it is appropriate, or I could just mail them to whomever
may want them.
I am also planning to place a few more boxes in Florida over the next
month or so, but I sure would like to find someone elses boxes down
here. I will certainly be willing to post the new boxes on the
Letterboxing NA site but will need to know who is currently taking care
of doing that.
Regards,
Eric Mings

Tom,
Good to hear from you also!
Do you know if any of the awaiting clues for Fl letterboxes? If so, could
someone send them directly to me. Wow 100 letterboxes by one person, that
is impressive!

Eric,
I'm fairly certain that none of the 'unposted' boxes is in Florida.

Eric:
Good to hear from you.
As you can see, the LBNA site has grown nicely - I'm not sure if there
is any accurate count these days. But it is growing.
I guess you'll just have to recruit a few boxers to get any Fla.
challanges.
Good luck, best wishes for the stanon!
