I thought it a great idea too-I saw your apology and recognized your frustration of so few San Jose boxes. I have introduced mySan Jose sister to letterboxing and she even carved a stamp. But then when she went to find any they were all missing or really inconvenient to bring her children too. I told her I would see what I could do about it (not much living in GA). But I have been sending her info about all the new San Jose boxes I have seen posted.

Thanks so much for encouraging the idea, despite any naysayers,

I was so dismayed when Aahz came under attack for his attemps at increasing the number of letterboxes in his region. I had a letterbox planned for San Jose anyway, and made certain that I got it in place in time for our Big Day of Letterboxing.

And do you know what? This has been my single most visited letterbox, ever. It has been in place for less than two weeks, and has seen more traffic than I ever would have imagined.

I'm pleased that Aahz encouraged us to add letterboxes to his area. And doubly pleased that the local letterboxes came out to find the newer boxes.

In Alameda County, we've got so many wonderful letterboxes that it is hard to find time to scoop them all up, so as a result my boxes don't see anything like the traffic that this one San Jose letterbox does.

Hurray (or is that "huzzah?") for Santa Clara County letterboxers!
