Atlas Quest does not require that people include their location when signing up for an account, so there is no systematic method to search for letterboxers based on where they live. Someone might choose to list that information in their profile, but since there is no standardized form for entering the location or error checking to insure Atlas Quest knows where a specific location is, it is not very useful for sorting or searching purposes. Additionally, some people may prefer that their location not be so readily available to everyone else.

Thus, there is no system available to search for letterboxers based on their location. You can, however, guess the area where someone lives based on where they plant and find letterboxes since most people tend to plant in areas they live or visit often. Additionally, if you hold a gathering in the area, most people who attend likely live somewhere within easy driving distance. Or, a more direct method of finding out is to post a message on the state board where you live as ask where everyone lives. It will not get you a complete listing of all letterboxers in your area, but neither is any other method of trying to figure out who lives nearby.

With a little time and experience, you will be able to figure out who lives in your area, or at least who the most active letterboxers are.
