Closing Statement

“I am Moosey Antlerston, a genuine moose with genuine moose values. Choose me as your mascot, and I will bring honor, enthusiasm, and absolutely no stamp‑related baggage.”

Skippy the Flying Squirrel --
Your Résume is BRILLIANT!!!
Of course, I only have time to read
the one résume, and I'm not on the
Personnel Board, either. Good luck!

I was at first a little taken aback by Mr. Antlerston's interest in this position, as I found it hard to believe such a suave, erudite, and devastatingly handsome fellow would be interested in a mere mascoty role. But then understanding broke forth like a golden ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, that this would give him an unparalleled opportunity to work with ME. And I can certainly see the invaluable advantages in that. ("in", not "un").

He gets my vote! Huzzah!

When I travel internationally old historic cemeteries are my favorite places to hide a box. Not only are they interesting to wander through but many have areas that can easily hide a box for decades without being muggled. As a matter of fact I was just looking at cemeteries in Chile and Bolivia for my upcoming vacation. But I agree, 70 boxes in one cemetery is way too many.

Hi ToriKisu,

I have taken one of your butterflies, but I usually leave the first finder prizes for others. I want others to have the fun surprise also. Depending on what the FF prize is, I will often leave it, thinking someone else may get more pleasure out of it since I have years and years of first finder prizes. I hope that makes sense.

I used to do first finder prizes, but I've let that slip by the wayside. Maybe again someday.

First finder prizes I still enjoy (just my opinion): LTCs, pathtags, letterboxing patches, letterboxing related stickers (paper trail has created a really awesome one), or something unique or unexpected (once I got a North Country Trail hat!!).

So don't take offense. Add FF prizes if you want. They will get taken, but maybe not by the first finder :). The hobby is different for everyone.

In the meantime, enjoy planting and finding!

If I could tag you all who responded, I would. I was a bit overwhelmed with the response yay lol. I appreciate all this feedback!! 😊

I think I will just remove the “first” that way when someone doesn’t want it, someone else can grab it. *Maybe* they weren’t taken by the second or third finder because it said “first.”

I just know I got keychain once and i treasured that thing haha

Thank you everyone.

Honk honk!
Brilliant!

I know that this was all done in fun, but it hit too close to home. My mother's maiden name was Marjorie Quackenbush.

Even a blind squirrel can see that this candidate is head and shoulders above the rest!

My understanding is that Green Tortuga resides in the Pacific time zone. However, wherever he may be at any time/date is quite variable.

I would think that the fun at the first of April would wait until at least all of the contiguous home country would be in that day.

Splashmaster definitely has our endorsement. I don’t really know what “stamp interrogations” are but he never once considered removing his sunglasses during one. How could you not respect that?

Per this Reddit post, a damaged letterbox was found in Laurel Lime Ridge Park. I'm not able to find anything that matches what was posted, but I'm also not entirely certain where this would have been listed, when, or if there are restrictions my account doesn't meet to view the listing. I'm sharing here as a signal boost on the off chance someone more local can weigh in.

This listing

mentions the park name, Laurel Lime Ridge, and indicates the box is under a rock ledge (where the poster says they put the box back). Maybe?? Anyone know SuziSquirrel, the planter?

BREAKING NEWS: Reports of Marjorie Quack’s demise have been greatly exaggerated — mostly by Marjorie herself.

In a shocking twist that absolutely no one should be surprised by, Marjorie has returned, slightly singed, mildly offended, and loudly proclaiming that she “meant to do that.”

According to eyewitnesses, she dramatically burst through a pile of trail maps shouting, “YOU CAN’T GET RID OF ME THAT EASILY!” before demanding snacks and asking who approved the memorial kazoo solo.

She would like the community to know:

• she is alive
• she is well
• she is considering suing the synchronized swimming judges
• and she expects a full apology from anyone who cried, laughed, or bet money on her cause of death

Happy April Fools Day from Marjorie Quack — the chicken, the legend, the menace, the survivor.

In honor of her return, we've commissioned another song celebrating her unexpected return: Marjorie's Back! (Start the Honk Parade) MP4 MP3

The let party begin only after the last guest has arrived. *nodding* =)

-- Ryan

Conducted approximately 14 minutes after her dramatic reappearance

Q: Marjorie, the community is shocked. What happened out there?
A: “I was testing a new zipline technique called the Feathered Comet. The dust devil was not part of the plan. Neither was the synchronized swimming team, though I must say, their form was excellent.”

Q: How did you survive the ordeal?
A: “Pure spite. And also I landed in a pool, which helped.”

Q: Any thoughts on the memorial service held in your honor?
A: “The kazoo solo was disrespectful. The corn buffet was acceptable. George crying into the birdbath was dramatic, even for him.”

Q: What are your plans now that you’ve returned?
A: “Snacks. Revenge. And maybe a new letterbox series titled The Chicken Who Lived.”

Q: Any message for your fans?
A: “Yes. Stop doubting me. I will outlive you all.”

HAPPY DANCING IN CONNECTICUT!!!!! WOO HOO!

In Tulsa, Quills’ boxes have intricate stamps. All of mine are handmade. “There Can Be Only… One? “ is probably my most intricate one. It should not take too long to find if you follow the clues exactly. Mike the Moose has been overlooked by most so far, but I thought it was a good stamp. Papertrail, The Woodshed, and others have left some good plants here. Flaneur’s Bob Dylan is not to be missed! Honestly, there are just some really good stamps in the Tulsa and Sapulpa area: just search for the active boxes with “good” findability.

Hooray!! So glad Marjorie is back! ❤️

Very nice to see your name pop up on the boards, young lady!

I whole heartedly would have endorsed you for this prestigious position, but, alas, since Marjorie has appeared from her recent "adventure", the point is moot....

Sincerely,

Jaxx

We have a few FF prizes we found over the years. Pins, patches, coupons, dollar bills. We've pretty much kept all of them.

We usually put a scratch off lottery ticket as a FF prize in our plants. We do have to be careful that the ticket is from the right state, lol!

Redefining Normal
One FF at a time

I know I'm the last one to know these things...

But every time I change pages the theme changes. Whazzup?

And just so this thread isn't a total waste of pixels, (question 2) what is the Gargoyle Preserve planning group about?

I am guessing it's part of the "rest of Marjorie's shenanigans to roll out over the next little while" to semi-quote what was said ...

Marjorie Quack has been a member since 2017. Her signature stamp is adorable. However she has done NOTHING. No plants, no finds. She needs to live up to her image.

As if I would use my public persona for that sort of thing. I use aliases for my own privacy!

-- Marjorie

Is it time for ***confetti, balloons and cake***?

I was posting boxes for an event today, and the ever changing themes was so very distacting!!! LOL What a hoot!
