…to Northern Shoveler. Yeah, I know snow is a good thing, but I’m sooo done with shoveling! I’m hoping this weekend’s storm won’t hit New England (or anywhere else) too hard.

I heartily approve of web-footed trail names. Not so much about the shoveling part. I get tired of that, too! I'm burrowing in for the weekend!!
Stay warm!

I feel ya, I used to live in Taos. I know shoveling snow. I'm sure you were kidding, but if not Northern Shoveler is a clever name that would lend itself to a cute sig stamp.

Yes! Thank you to the GA contingent and especially T REX for four days of awesome boxing! It SOOOO reminded me of boxing in CT (minus the snow and ice where I would have to take a whammy bar to the snow and ice to unearth the boxes.....)! I can not WAIT to get back there for some more boxing! Currently working on Clue Tracker "backpacks" for my next trip!

If you’re into them, it looks they are all on Netflix. I didn’t Google for the whole list but it looks like it might be all of them.
I actually thought Goldfinger was the first but it’s the third. Dr No is the first. The old ones look like they might be fun to watch.

the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
The even more horrifying thought I have is that while some are cowards, likely others are actually supportive of the Mad King.
Teaching Letterbox Basics

Hello! I’m putting together teaching materials (PowerPoint, handouts, etc) to help me spread letterbox love with community outreach classes. I’m asking letterboxers of all experience levels to fill out this survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSex-YkI5GL3N2eENaqVU6xM7VtByAVOGAq2LvIiLJzpewhgkw/viewform?usp=dialog
to get me started on the right track.
Also happy to connect with folks who have done this before for advice or to see their resources.
Thank you! - AllieCat, OR

Taos? Yeah, I guess you know what shoveling is!!!
As you suspected, I was kidding about the name change, but a Northern Shoveler would definitely make a cute sig stamp! 🦆

Newbie Question
Board: Letterboxing Help Desk
Jan 23, 2026 9:59am
Is there any way I can save a letterbox as a draft? I want to do a series with a fun little story, so I was hoping to make it in advance and add the clues when I get out and hide them. Is there a way I can do this?

Yes -
when you go through the 'add letterbox' process, at the end hit "SAVE" NOT Publish. Then you can go back to the listing under your Plants > Unpublished list to continue editing.
When you're done, select "PUBLISH" and the box/clue will be released to the world.
(I also sometimes just use WORD to craft drafts of clues before I'm ready to plant)

Anyone need some letterboxing supplies?
Board: State: Ohio

I got the following message:
So I figured I'd ask if there was anyone in "Central Ohio" would might be interested in taking up this task. =)

My wife and I have letterboxed for many years and run many workshops to promote letterboxing. We are past that point in our lives, and are reaching out to see if there is someone (we are in central Ohio) who could make use of our substantial stash of letterboxing materials. We have stamp making material (vinyl, erasers, gouges, X-Acto knives, transfer paper, etc.) as well as blank logbooks, ink and stamps, a few retired letter boxes, and even two or three travelers waiting to move on.

Well, I certainly could use some of that and know many others in Ohio who could use the rest--Trailtracker comes immediately to mind as doing workshops and several active folks up NE... if you want to put me in touch with these folks.
How odd the did not reach out to on the board, but I am sure we will miss them, whoever they are!!

When looking at an event page for PT's and event boxes, is there any way to see only those I need? As it is, I have to pull up each one to see if I have a find previously listed. Thanks

Those stories were my gateway into cozy mysteries.
I just started the Flavia de Luce series of mysteries by Alan Bradley. Flavia is a brilliant (genius at chemistry) 11YO girl growing up in post-war England. The stories are told from her PoV and can be quite funny. Would recommend!
