I started years ago letterboxing making my own stamps then started geocaching got back in to letterboxing after running across geocaches with stamps in them making them dual use I like those but geocache uses coordinates more than clues..lol. Amazon is loaded with stamps or hobby lobby I think still has some.

Hey there, I was really involved in letterboxing for several years. I carved my own stamps and had a lot of fun planting. However due to circumstances I am no longer active in letterboxing. I am cleaning out some stuff and have a lot of letterboxes that I created but never placed. I am located in Jacksonville and would love to pass on these letterboxes to someone who is still active and would like to place them. They are ready to place with the bags and the logbooks and most of them even have some first timer LTC’s that I made. So if you are interested, lmk when we can meet. They are free…don’t want to just throw them away and don’t have the time to place them

Username checks out. 😉
I guess it's a good thing I didn't ask what color it was.
blue/black - white/gold?

JB !! - We miss you and your boxes. I don't know if we ever met in-person but I have found many of your boxes and still love to find one out in a cemetery or somewhere. TALE is coming up in a couple weeks and I would be delighted to share your boxes with others in the community.
I would be willing to drive to you in Jacksonville or meet you some where in between. Just let me know!
Thank you for reaching out. NLW

Exactly the type of response one would expect from AI, well done :)
I think ZDZ nailed it.
Here's what my AI says:
"It's stylized bubble graffiti, but it looks like it says "Gixxie" — the exact letters are hard to read because of the artistic style.
The first character is a G (with a star inside), followed by rounded letters that resemble I/X/X/I/E shapes.
Graffiti tags are often artist names rather than real words, so it may just be a tag name."
Gixxie, if Snow Shoveler doesn't work...
Edited to add: For what it's worth, I post that pic on the Reddit Graffiti board and the consensus over there was that it says "ANKE".

Seems like a couple of others are closer to you than I am in Denison. I have found a couple of your boxes though. 😊🗺️
Do you also do geocaching? I have some pathtags from a kokopelli, and I’m wondering if that’s you.

The California clue posted today and unfortunately it’s in Southern California (like I was suspecting) and at least a 5-6 hour drive.
We’ll just have to settle for watching the premiere next week.

I'm in Conroe, but willing to drive up to you in Jacksonville. A Letterboxer is always up for a good road trip. I probably could come up this weekend, it that is not too soon? Let me double check and get back with you.

I would like to see a memorial page added to AQ where we can voice our love for this kind and loving person.
It's been added at https://www.atlasquest.com/people/tributes/obit.php?memberId=2872.
I don't think I ever had the honor of meeting her in person (at least not long enough to do an exchange), but find myself saddened by her loss anyhow. =(

Thanks GT. She would have been at the TALE you attended, but was so quiet you probably didn't meet. I should have introduced you but it was during COVID so was extra cautious with them.

I am saddened as well. A sad day indeed.
St. Louis letterboxes
Board: State: Missouri
Feb 21, 2026 2:54pm
I’m wondering how many active boxers are in the greater St. Louis region. There are many parks that have letter boxes listed, but those are good chance those are missing and it seems as though most of our parks are used for hiding boxes so I’m wondering if some of these parks need new boxes while the other ones just fizzle away on Atlas quest because they’re lost or whatever. If you’re a St. Louis letterboxer would you like for the parks to have more boxes again? Do you wish that you had sites to go to because I know a lot of us have exhausted all the fines in the area. One park that I’m thinking about especially is Forest Park. Most of the boxes at Forest Park that are listed are probably gone because they have done so much renovation and forest management.
Series activated

Our series "Corps of Discovery (7)" has gone from unavailable to active. The last box is on its 3rd re-carve and has been completely relocated to another location entirely, hopefully for the last time. Due to environmental changes some clues needed tweaking. These are now reflected in the box clues.

Not me googling Norfolk VA to Wilkesboro NC for the time/distance… 6 hours 5min.
Maybe not a day trip for me, but not too bad for a long weekend!
