My secret handshake will be.....

I don't know about them being obvious. Frostpup and I passed a few
people at the Accotink Wildlife Refuge, Fort Belvoir, Virginia and
couldn't tell if they were seekers or hikers - we don't think they
were boxers.

We also passed some more folks at the Rock Creek Planetarium and
Nature Center whom we thought could be, but weren't - we think.

I'm going to start sporting a handkerchief/bandana from the green
color family.

So if you see someone trekking in the wilds with a green swatch
prominently displayed on arm/neck/pocket/backpack/or elsewhere it's
me! I think I may stitch a poison ivy leaf on it.

I have only made one exchange. How I figured out that
the other people were letterboxers was they looked
like I did about an hour earlier. They were walking
up the trail reading the letterboxing clues, saying
things what does a yellow birch look like and did we
bring the tree identification book and did remember
the compass. I often wonder if other people on the
trail are letterboxing.

Maybe I should try practicing my morris dancing steps
as I hike the trail,that would look like a Monty
Python silly walk.

Boy, I'd sure like to run into someone doing morris dancing steps
along the trail. But Rick, if you just wear the costume, that will be
enough for me!
