and we would have YEARS, I believe, to address the situation.
Well thanks for that, really. I know it wouldn't just fold the next day but not having AQ or LbNA around is a chilling prospect.
Thus spake Green Tortuga: (Printing them out seems like overkill to me, though.)
Yeah, I thought of that as soon as I posted it, better to store them electronically (on a flash drive, maybe?)

Lovely little British independent film. Really enjoyed it. Free on Prime. Starring Carey Mulligan, Tom Basden and Tim Key.

I have hard copies of all my plants. After the zombie apocalypse we’ll be burning furniture for warmth, reading by candle light, and stocking up on ammo.

I do that also. When I first started planting, I printed the clues, a map with the route and spot marked, made notes I thought I might need to know for future reference, and then stamped the image on the sheet, in case I might need to re-carve and replace it. A bit obsessive, I know, but since I haven't planted thousands, it was doable for me, and I enjoy looking back through them sometimes.

GT, you are welcome to add me to the list of those who may be able to help should your time come before mine. But I'm older than you, so... I would not be helpful on the server end, but I am fluent in php, js, html, css, and rusty in SQL but could pick it up again. That being said, be careful out there! We don't want to lose you!

Hi! Sorry I’m late getting back to you. I’ve been in touch with bluebutterfly who had also tried to get in touch with her last year and again more recently. Beach Bum TX has had my traveling letterbox, The Gypsy, for 2-1/2 years and I’m just trying to get it back. I’d love it if someone could communicate my mailing address to her. Of course, I understand she’s taken a break but it’s been a VERY long time and I’m hoping she can just package it up and send it to me so we can get it back in circulation. I’d even reimburse her for postage.
If you are able, can you ask her to mail The Gypsy logbook and stamp to:
Amy Walker
1551 Milowyn Pl NE
Brookhaven, GA 30319
Thank so much for any assistance!

My husband and I use the same trailname, therfore we use the same account. If he saves a list of boxes on his phone, I cannot access it on my phone, even though I'm logged into the same account. And vice-versa, he can't see my lists. How do we fix this?

Hey all! Brand new here. Someone posted about Letterboxing on FB and it was so intriguing that I bought a stamp carving kit, created a trail name, and even wrangled three of my friends into it! We have yet to go hunt down our first box, but I’m excited for them to choose trail names and go adventuring with me.
Well met!

Hi Ryan! Hope the apartment retrofit is going ok!
Quick question, is there a way to put a column on our published and unpublished plants for the AQ #, so I can quick reference the AQ # for each box?
Just a suggestion :-). Hope you and Amanda have a great holiday season!

When is that exactly, I need to pencil that in on my calendar. Also, I guess I need to stock up on wooden furniture!

We must be era-twins. I turned in my trays of punch cards to the wizards who took them behind closed doors, to the massive machines, and back came yards and yards of green & white striped paper, less if it stopped part-way through the cards because there was an error. Fun times . . . NOT!!

When you at the CT boxes, there are numbers 1-10. Look at the end (after 10) and you will find an arrow to the right. Click on it, and it takes you to the rest of the boxes. Windham Is there. You are only seeing about half of the listed boxes. Pages 1-10.

When I searched for Windham county and included archived clues, I ended up with 5 pages of boxes.
I exported to CSV and then filtered by Active=NO.
I ended up with 144 boxes.
I just emailed the excel spreadsheet to you.

I loved Fortran, but punched cards, not so much. One typo and the card was ruined and you had to start over with a new card. Pretty expensive since I was paying my way through college at the time and boxes of cards weren't cheap. Today I still marvel at being able to just backspace and retype mistakes online.

Yes, Clue Tracker stores its lists of boxes on your phone or tablet. There is no way to have the lists stay in sync automatically across two or more devices, but you can share a list from one device and import the data into another one (even if the trail names are different). Please see our FAQ entries on sharing:
