and it gets dogeared or ink can bleed through it. the plastic, just wipe clean and all is good.

Do you mean on LbNA? There's not an option for that. Sorry. =(

Try hitting the Ctrl-F5 on the Canada map, not the page where you got the 404 error. The link did point to a non-existant page, but there weren't weren't any regions specified in the database so I just changed the link to point directly to the search results. That's the page that changed--not the 404 page which is still a 404. =)

I finally got it to work by clicking on Iceland on the map itself after getting to map of Canada/Iceland. If I click on the words Greenland/Iceland below the map it still gives the 404 error.
Thanks for the quick fix, but looks like there is still work to be done in the whole search area. Another reason for more people to donate to the cause.

Ah, I didn't realize the link was on the page two times. Sorry about that. Should be fixed now! =)

-- Ryan

You can't--that's a problem the owner made and, theoretically, can fix. But since they aren't active, I've gone ahead and done it myself.

No, if there's not a corresponding box on AQ, it would have to be an unlisted box on AQ. I have to admit, I never even considered that as an option! I was thinking if a box was on one site but not the other, it just wouldn't list a find at all. But you're right, theoretically, LbNA could list the find as a find on an unlisted box. (At least for premium members, since finds on unlisted boxes are a premium member perk.)


Not likely. Early in AQ history, they used to be listed in one giant list, but it caused a few problems. The queries that pulled the data from the database started running unacceptably slow as people started recording large number of finds which was the main reason that I finally had to split it into two separate lists. Even now, with the lists separated, those with 5,000+ finds are a bit hard on a database, often taking more than one full second to run.

I try to keep things running so a page could load in less than one second. Most pages run in a fraction of a second--1/10th of a second, for instance, but those with huge number of finds... the logbook pages often take over a full second to generate.

If you mean you've done a search and selected SOME (not all) of the boxes in the search - then use the MAP button at the BOTTOM of the page. The button at the TOP of the page maps ALL of the search results (well, first 100). However note that mapping is now a premium member perk.

I have always found it so much easier just doing screenshots of all boxes & clues I’m going for. Once LB is found & recorded I delete screenshots, usually when I get home. It also helps when I lose my AQ service out in dead zones, my screenshots/photo’s still work great. Tried the iPhone to printer a couple of times, finally gave up, just makes my head hurt lol.

Thanks. That all makes sense. Oh well!

this is an old thread for me. everything works just great now. I love mapping them out and navigating them as we go out on our road trips

I suspect a horse trail box would require special gear to deal with the road apples (sturdy wellies or hip waders, I suppose). Can't expect the equestrians to clean up after themselves or put on the old horse diapers. ;-)

BONK!

I just planted two in Hólavallagarður Cemetery in Reykjavik! You can walk to this location from the main downtown touristy area! I hope you have a chance to get them. The cemetery is really worth a visit - very old and atmospheric. Hope you have a great trip!

Actually, that is rarely a problem. Even the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon is usually "clean" enough for anyone wearing sneakers or trail runners. I won't recommend flip-flops, however. For those not in the know, the Bright Angel Trail is the path from the south rim down to the river used by dozens of mules each day toting tourists in exchange for a large amount of money.

A group of letterboxers, as recently defined.

What is your time frame? I plan to box there Friday before the event

Mystery 2501 now has three correct answers. That leaves seven more spaces to fill. Time for a summer school math pop quiz.

Clue 5 = The cube root of the number of squares on a chess board (Just the individual ones a single piece can fill).

I've put them on my list. There are a couple of other boxes in that same cemetery.
I'm going to be on a cruise and the cruise ship will be docked about 4 miles from the cemetery.
Hopefully, I can get to that cemetery.

Great - I really hope you have time to get to the cemetery!

There is a shuttle bus than runs from the cruise ship docking ports to Harpa Concert Hall, which is the last stop and is right in the center of town. From Harpa to the cemetery is less than a 20 minute walk.

Good luck! Origami Hen

Hello! ST-Ranger and I will be in the Longmont/Broomfield area July 16th to the 20th if any one might be up for a meet.

Hello! ST-Ranger and I will be in Torrey the week of July 20th and then down in Kanab for another couple days if anyone might be available for a meet.

Hello! ST-Ranger and I will be in Northern Arizona the last week of July if anyone might want to get together.

So we are trying out a new brand of carving material https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCQ358YT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Usual method of solvent transfer is not working, not even slightly! Very strange. Tried sanding first but no improvement. What transfer method works for this material?

Thank you! It's a really old box (20 years) in perfect condition and seems like something which might be more popular now that a clue is obvious. Finding historic boxes is fun!

I use these and acetone transfer works fine. I usually wipe them down with acetone first though, sometimes it helps clear any residue on the surface and makes transfers cleaner.

AQversay to Daytrippers54! And to many more... may your day be filled with sunshine and ink! Thanks for being part of our Maine family :)

10 years. Wow. Hard to believe that much time has gone by. Remembering Bucks Naked BBQ, and meeting you both for the first time. Little did we know then how lucky we would be to have the friendship we have established with you both.
Love ya and get ink today!
Hugs,
N n D

To Damselfly! We're so glad to have you in our Maine letterboxing family. Hope today is a good day to get out and get some boxes!
A.T.

Just 6? It seems like I've known you MUCH longer... may you get some inky fun into your day as well.
