If I could tag you all who responded, I would. I was a bit overwhelmed with the response yay lol. I appreciate all this feedback!! š
I think I will just remove the āfirstā that way when someone doesnāt want it, someone else can grab it. *Maybe* they werenāt taken by the second or third finder because it said āfirst.ā
I just know I got keychain once and i treasured that thing haha
Thank you everyone.

I know that this was all done in fun, but it hit too close to home. My mother's maiden name was Marjorie Quackenbush.

Maybe a little early. But it was posted at 12:47 am.
The time/date I see for his post was Mar 31, 2026 10:47pm MDT.
The time/date I see for your post was Mar 31, 2026 11:24pm MDT.
My understanding is that Green Tortuga resides in the Pacific time zone. However, wherever he may be at any time/date is quite variable.
I would think that the fun at the first of April would wait until at least all of the contiguous home country would be in that day.

Damaged Letterbox Found in Seymour, CT
Board: State: Connecticut
Apr 1, 2026 10:33pm
Per this Reddit post, a damaged letterbox was found in Laurel Lime Ridge Park. I'm not able to find anything that matches what was posted, but I'm also not entirely certain where this would have been listed, when, or if there are restrictions my account doesn't meet to view the listing. I'm sharing here as a signal boost on the off chance someone more local can weigh in.

This listing
mentions the park name, Laurel Lime Ridge, and indicates the box is under a rock ledge (where the poster says they put the box back). Maybe?? Anyone know SuziSquirrel, the planter?

BREAKING NEWS: Reports of Marjorie Quackās demise have been greatly exaggerated ā mostly by Marjorie herself.
In a shocking twist that absolutely no one should be surprised by, Marjorie has returned, slightly singed, mildly offended, and loudly proclaiming that she āmeant to do that.ā
According to eyewitnesses, she dramatically burst through a pile of trail maps shouting, āYOU CANāT GET RID OF ME THAT EASILY!ā before demanding snacks and asking who approved the memorial kazoo solo.
She would like the community to know:
Happy April Fools Day from Marjorie Quack ā the chicken, the legend, the menace, the survivor.
In honor of her return, we've commissioned another song celebrating her unexpected return: Marjorie's Back! (Start the Honk Parade) MP4 MP3

- she is considering suing the synchronized swimming judges
- and she expects a full apology from anyone who cried, laughed, or bet money on her cause of death

Conducted approximately 14 minutes after her dramatic reappearance
Q: Marjorie, the community is shocked. What happened out there?
A: āI was testing a new zipline technique called the Feathered Comet. The dust devil was not part of the plan. Neither was the synchronized swimming team, though I must say, their form was excellent.ā
Q: How did you survive the ordeal?
A: āPure spite. And also I landed in a pool, which helped.ā
Q: Any thoughts on the memorial service held in your honor?
A: āThe kazoo solo was disrespectful. The corn buffet was acceptable. George crying into the birdbath was dramatic, even for him.ā
Q: What are your plans now that youāve returned?
A: āSnacks. Revenge. And maybe a new letterbox series titled The Chicken Who Lived.ā
Q: Any message for your fans?
A: āYes. Stop doubting me. I will outlive you all.ā

In Tulsa, Quillsā boxes have intricate stamps. All of mine are handmade. āThere Can Be Only⦠One? ā is probably my most intricate one. It should not take too long to find if you follow the clues exactly. Mike the Moose has been overlooked by most so far, but I thought it was a good stamp. Papertrail, The Woodshed, and others have left some good plants here. Flaneurās Bob Dylan is not to be missed! Honestly, there are just some really good stamps in the Tulsa and Sapulpa area: just search for the active boxes with āgoodā findability.

We have a few FF prizes we found over the years. Pins, patches, coupons, dollar bills. We've pretty much kept all of them.
We usually put a scratch off lottery ticket as a FF prize in our plants. We do have to be careful that the ticket is from the right state, lol!

Marjorie Quack has been a member since 2017. Her signature stamp is adorable. However she has done NOTHING. No plants, no finds. She needs to live up to her image.

We stayed at the Plume of Feathers in Princetown, which is smack dab in the middle of Dartmoor! I loved the hike to Nuns Cross Farm, Childe's Tomb, (of course) Cranmere Pool, Haytor, Bennett's Cross.
Some places I wish I had time to see were St. Michael's Church on Brentor, Buckfast Abbey, Compton Castle, and much more. If Google maps had only existed back in 2004 when I visited.....
I could stay for a year and not see everything there is to see on the moor!

I don't know... maybe it's time for a change. I think Ooseworth (better known around these parts as "Big Moosey) with his penchant for 'trail justice' would make a fine front man for this organization!
We antlered ones demand a fair selection process. Let the people speak! I nominate Big Moosey.
Marking a postal thatās returned to you
Board: Postals
Apr 3, 2026 12:47pm
I got a cool tip from user paper trail. She was wondering if Iād gotten my own stamp back for her recent postal ring tracker.
1. Go to your stamp/boxās page
2. Click or tap the button for āRecord checkupā
3. Scroll down to āAction performedā
4. Click āFound and checkedā
5. Click or tap the Save button
6. Go to the tracker page for the postal
7. Scroll down to the gridāyour stamp will now have a green checkmark instead of a blue O
8. Notice the other participants in the grid who have a green checkmark for their stampsāthey know this tip! š
Marking your own stamp as found helps the owner of the tracker check at the end that all is well with everyoneās stamps. (Which honestly had never occurred to me.)
Iāve already gone back to all my completed postal ring trackers to mark those stamps as found.
Thanks, Laura!
