Quote I'll tell you what Letterboxing Mecca is.

It's when you go to a location, and whether you find the box or not, you look around at one moment and think to yourself, "My God, this is one of the most beautiful/amazing places I have ever seen, and I never would have seen it if I hadn't been looking for the box."


Oh Jaxx. I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks to Funhog, I went to a beautiful little park not too far from where I live. Never knew it was there until I went for her box.

I notice you live in NY. I need to visit one day and see all the wonderful LB sites there. If you're ever going to visit Oregon, let me know. It is simply a beautiful state with a variety of terrains. I'd love to have you see it!

I've barely scratched the surface on my Island here, much less the rest of the state, but since I travel for business, I've been lucky to see some other wonderful parts of the country.

You'd like NY...from the Island to the Falls, it is varied and wonderful, as I'm sure your state is, too.

YOU SAID IT! I completely agree... we've said that a number of times since we began letterboxing. Moving to a new area 18 months ago.. we've seen more beautiful places in our area in the last three months than we did in the previous 15!! This hobby is a fantastic way to see beautiful places that would have been "hidden" to us otherwise.

Thanks for putting in your two cents.
