Besides traditional letterboxes, what other types of letterboxing activities do you participate in? LTC's? Postal trading?

I used to participate in both Postals and LTC's, but haven't really had the time to do these extra curricular activities in the past several years.

AWESOME - who knew I had so much power.......well, you obviously. Thanks.

Great Lakes Letterboxing Bingo!

I log it again so there is a record of where it has been. I try to always include city and state in "Where Found" when logging so there is a trail of where it has been. Apparently some people like to put the actual box where it was found for "Where Found" but I think it's more fun to list city/state which better illustrates the travels.

And then I hang on to the HH until I am farther away from home so it does not boomerang again! Since we travel a lot this usually means waiting just a few weeks.

I also tag all found HH with the silver whistle tag which I have labeled HH Tracker. This allows for an easy search to check up on the HH I have found in the past and see where they have traveled to! It's helpful to sort the search results by "last found date" so recent activity is displayed first. This might be a premium only feature, not sure.

Finding traditionals are my favorite, but I love events as well. And, as Dawnkey said, Great Lakes Letterboxing Bingo is a wonderful way to spend the winter months.

I make LTCs, participate in the Monday Night Carving Chat sessions on Zoom, and attend/host in-person events

If you are above 39 degrees latitude and have clear skies go outside somewhere dark and enjoy the show. Viewing may be possible as far south as Alabama.

And you don’t even have to live in the Great Lakes region to participate!!

Wait.. what??!?!?! Is this true??
Oh, I might need to sign up next year!!!

Hey you Mainers, did you see the Aurora Borealis tonight?

nothing here in the middle of California.

It was spectacular! Awesome purples, pink, yellow and green dancing in the sky, something to see.

My son also saw them in northern Scotland while visiting. I am so envious! I have tried for years to see them but never have.

We just bought it too!

SudokuCrazy is celebrating her AQversary today with a whooping seventeen years -- and probably countless adventures -- in the game. Happy Cake Day, SC! 🎂

Happy AQversary!

Dartmoor collectors? https://www.ebay.com/itm/186437879849

Wow that’s interesting Albums full of stamps. Lot of history there

Amanda from Seattle.

IKR. I'm surprised it's not up for auction. If it wasn't for the shipping, I would have snatched it up.

They were visible in the suburbs of Austin, TX! Fabulous!!

I planted this box on a recent trip to St. Louis. First, I'd like to apologize because it was a rush job and not my best effort at clue-writing, so I'm afraid the clue is too vague to easily find the box.

So I'm asking for help. If you're thinking about going to look for it, please contact me first, and I'll send you more specific info so that you can actually find it. And if you do find it, maybe you can suggest an edit to the part of the clue that is currently too vague. Same goes for if you've already unsuccessfully looked for it and didn't leave a comment.

I think the clues are find through "the letterbox that stood out front." It's the next line with "swooped right across the grass to a small 3- or 4-trunked tree" that is problematic.

Again, apologies, and thanks in advance for any help.

Almost feels like this should be on display at a Letterboxing museum

I met a gal who is eager to learn about letterboxing and would like to meet a lady in the area who can help her get started.

Ok, who bought it?

Wow is right! Yay for Sudoku Crazy and all her wonderful contributions to this crazy, wonderful hobby/obsession! Looking forward to many more fun adventures with you!

oh no, it was gone before I could see it ;/

It's still there, scroll down.

Now I'm wondering how someone got this in the first place. The cairn must get full over time but who has the rights to take the books? Rangers?

I was thinking the same thing. Someone took it and then put it up for auction. Seems kinda sleazy to me.

Very Very Sus.

There’s nothing amuck- just someone’s collection of images from Dartmoor letterboxes. Some people here do the same thing, stamping on index cards and putting them into albums. They went to a couple events and got patches as well.
It would be interesting to know how they got to the sale, but it’s not exactly what burglars would grab in a break-in. More likely downsizing, a storage unit auction, or the person passed away and their heirs were too muggly to care about stamps.
