I am old school when it comes to clues and I print them out. Some of the trails I go to there is no internet access so printed clues won't let me down.

How about a free 30 to 60 day Premium test drive for new boxers. Or an introductory price for the first year for any boxer. Afterward, they can make an informed benefits vs costs decision.

A warning: who really takes the TV remote and puts in away in the closet.

The letterbox is “The Hunting Spirit”, number 224422.
I appear to be the last one to log a find on this box.
I tried doing a search by location (Oahu, HI) and it
does not show up, yet it showed up on a search I did
in Sept 2025. I don't know what happened.

This is probably a long shot...

Never doubt the resourceful folks on AQ when it comes to identifying boxes, ha ha.

Hello! I am doing a school project about letterboxing in and around Los Angeles. If you have ever letterboxed in LA, I'd love to hear from you! Please let me know if you're interested in chatting, and I can provide more info. It is a multimedia project so I may ask to record our conversation, and I would love any photos you have of you letterboxing around LA. Thanks for your time!

YOU ARE AMAZING!! that's the one!!! I wonder why it's not coming up in any searches. I'm glad it came up on cluetracker. I usually take a screenshot to remind me, i forgot and then i just figured it would be easy to find. WRONG! haha. I just wanted to be able to log it and note it in my journal...thanks for coming to the rescue! Maybe I'll email Ryan about it and see if he can fix it.
thank you thank you thank you!!! :)

It's hard to be certain why a box didn't show up without knowing precisely what search you were running, but if I had to guess--and it's only a guess without additional information--I did notice that the box listing is abandoned so if you have your default settings to hide abandoned boxes, you won't see them in your searches.

It's not an option that I would recommend anyone using (nor is it enabled by default), but it's there since some people like to use it anyhow.

If that's not the reason... share the URL of the search results so I can see precisely what search you are running.

If I actually get back to letterboxing, and not just events, I’ll sign back up.

Not sure if it'll make a difference for you or not, but that search engine I mentioned earlier has what they call a "fair pricing policy" which means they basically extend your membership for each month that you don't use the service. Basically, you won't get charged for what you don't use.

I thought that was a brilliant idea, though, so I've added a "fair pricing policy" to AQ today. If a premium member doesn't log in for a full calendar month, they basically get their premium membership extended by an extra month automatically for free. So if you only use the website every few months, you could stretch a premium membership out for several years. =)

This applies to all premium members, starting this month. Although anyone reading this message this month is clearly logged into their account and therefore won't get the extra month.

But in a nutshell, for those who drop out for a few months or even a few years.... you'll still have your premium membership when you come back.

I also logged into my Google AdSense account to look at the settings. It's kind of scary how many options they have now, not all of which I fully understand. But I did find a setting to reduce the "vignette ads" from showing every 1 minute to now show every 5 minutes, so maybe that will help make the ads a little less annoying. They'll still happen, though!

Anyone who’s met me knows that “Boxing around LA” and “Willing to chat” pretty much sums up my personality.

That's an awesome feature! Thanks so much! I don't think I've ever gone more than a day or two without logging in since the day I started letterboxing, but what a generous gesture for those whose life events sometimes get in the way of our fun pastime.

So let me see if I have this right...if I have a Lifetime membership, and I go, say, 10 years without logging into AQ... do I live 10 years longer?

Yes! And, if you cross the international date line...

Thanks so much Ryan! I had no idea about the abandoned boxes being filtered out. I just updated it so they will show and it popped up right away.

I really appreciate your help so much! :) This is why they pay you the big bucks. haha.

How many pages do you put in a traditional box logbook? Maybe 20?

I am handholding a few mini books and am curious what people do.

Thanks!

Based on your link to Throwie, I'd say it looks more like 4 letters.

I usually put 20-25 pages. If we make them too big, then we risk not having much room in the box!

My sarcastic response is that I decoded it to say:
"I have tiny man syndrome and need to vandalize to feel larger"

My guess for the letters... sideways P, R, single line so I? Then 2 curves. PRICE ?

With that red behind it I'm thinking maybe one street gang painted over another gang's letters and left enough red to make it clear what they did?
