I agree!  And I, too, met Kebbie and Flower Lady today at Northwest Park.  Fun to meet them and to get an exchange on the trail! :)  Ended up finding all of the boxes there, and then moved on to find the Keep on Rollin' boxes, then Johnathan's Dream in West Hartford, and then Cute Cluckers and Cream of the Crop.  Whew!  I think that's a personal record for one day's worth of boxing!  Lots of fun, and very little rain...weren't we supposed to get some today?  Can't scare me with a little rain...I'll be out tomorrow, too!

The times we have met other LBers on the trail, there is something about their activities that indicates they are LBing.  Such as searchng around stumps and trees, or taking compass bearings, and usually holding papers in theor hands.
 
Today we met Flower Lady and Kebbie on the trail at Northwest Park.  We asked, Are you letter boxing?  Thats all it took.
 
What a great weekend to be out and about!!!!!

How about a "secret password" that letterboxers can use when they see
others who might be letterboxers on the trail? It would have to be
something that wouldn't make every person with a backpack think we've
lost our minds. Maybe a question to ask, that another letterboxer
would respond to a certain way, but other people would treat as
ordinary conversation. Any ideas?

sounds weird, but if I am out and I see others who I think might be
letterboxes, if I am not comfortable just going up to them and
asking, I shift the pack around so that the patch shows. It's
brightly colored for its small size, so stands out against my black
pack. It is fun to run into others and exchange stamps and friendly
hellos, but caution always comes first.

out alone, trust your gut and if it feels wrong, try to remove
yourself from the area as quickly and safely as possible.
