I've got 50+ letterboxes out there and hardly anyone finds them because I'm in a letterboxing no-man's land.

what you need to do is do a couple letterboxes to send to other areas to be planted and taken care of by other folks. it could still be YOUR box and it is SUPER fun to see who find your box way across the country.

I've been thinking about that --
If I decided to go this route, how would I go about finding someone else who would be willing to hide a box for me? I kinda wonder about it, because offhand I'd expect most folks would be unhappy about it because if they were going to plant something, they'd rather it was one of their own boxes.


simply ask :)
there are lots of folks out there willing to plant boxes in their area that are done by others...
especially when they have an event coming up and are in an area that needs new stuff...etc.

I've had so much fun with the GAQHHE06 that I think it would be fun to do a GAQLbE07.

Yes? Anyone? Anyone?

Wait, wait, wait!! Could some kind soul please explain exactly what this is? That alpha-numeric soup didn't immediately translate for me. I think I get the 07 and the E (since Dixie said something about exchanges), but I'm not sure about the rest. It sounds like fun!! LOL!

Lb's instead of HH's? I hope somebody's going to post guidelines for participation for the benefit of those of us who haven't done this sort of thing before!

oh...
I was explaining to Kirbert how he could send letterboxes to other places for other people to plant when we got off on exchanging letterboxes instead of HHs. I have done it before...I have boxes in a few places I have never been to. so
it was suggested that we do a Great AQ Letterbox Exchange 2007 (GAQLbE07)

Oh no that's just me looking out for myself and my Posse. Koko and the other Maine boxers can fend for themselves.......Let me plant in RI and him have to find it. He needs help with his Fcount anyways(this is a joke). LOL

I'm so glad he does not read these posts. Um... he doesn't...does he? Off to hide.

Me too, or me either.

I think there needs to be a pin up south of the Mason-Dixon line. :)

See? I knew it sounded like fun!! :) Thanks for the translation, Dixie!! So, I guess that the other exchange was for hitchhikers? I guess I missed that one. Maybe next time!

Okay...I'm up for it. Maybe LibraryGrrrl can give me a heads up as to what I'm up for! Everyone who wants to join up AQ email me. Also...if there are any particular requested exchanges, also make note of that. I'll try to accomodate as best as I can. Though...unless Lock Wench is planning on sending out numerous boxes, there will only be one lucky person will be getting a pin-up!

I'll start a new thread on the Letterbox board for this!

I have signed up for this, I think it is a great idea. I'm located in Canada so if you want to plant a box up here I'm up for it. I think if you just send the "guts" of the box and let me worry about the physical box we can keep the costs down nicely. There are many great places to plant boxes here so I would be willing to exchange with several people.

I also think it might be nice to exchange photos of where the boxes are planted so you know where your box is now living.

Just some ideas, change or reject them as needed! lol

I did recommend that only the "guts" (stamp and logbook) be exchanged unless there was some special box someone had their heart set on including. There seem to be a few people who would like to exchange several boxes. I say...GREAT! More fun!
