I think this is so cool. :-) Congratulations!


And I have to agree...I think this one will be low on the priority list for me, if you don't mind. But, I might tell my brother in law's unit about it! :-) We'll have to see if you get any traffic for it.

Me, too, but I think it's awesome that it's there.

Come to think of it, my nephew's going into the Army next month, so maybe he'll get there. (Not *hoping* he'll get there, mind you, but if he does, I'll have to tell him to get the box!)

I just love how when I click to view a Google Map of the letterboxes planted today at http://www.atlasquest.com/lboxes/traditional/map.html?gTypeId=6;gTimespan=today;gStatus=0 it shows a map stretching from Iraq way over on the left and the map stretches across Asia and the Pacific Ocean to also show a box in Alaska.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen it with absolutely none of the continental US showing! =)

Finding a letterbox in Iraq would be great. Now if we can just find those Weapons of Mass Destruction..... There is actually a town AQ supports with that name. Try searching for it. ;o)

Try looking in Salman Pak. That's where they've already been found.

heck you carved it...and made the box...wrong camo for over here though...but the thought was awesome...I believe that it was a prize at the Agusta meet...and Julie from Toccoa won it and mailed it to me...so I will put you down as the carver...normally I am part of KoTL04...but here I am BR1...Joe

Oh WOW! I have a box in Iraq!

Yeah, I did make a ready to plant box as a raffle prize for the Augusta event, so I know which one you're talking about. It DEFINTALY has the wrong type of camo job on it...lol. I wasn't planning for placement in a sandbox, but still, cool beans!

Now, here's the big questions....are the other guys even remotely curious about what the thing is doing in their MRW room?

the staff at the MWR was really curious about letterboxing and probably thought that I was a kook or something. But they looked up atlasquest and gave me the go ahead to leave it there. They were really wondering if anyone would find it, and I told them that we were a unique bunch of individuals. And yes someone would find it. It is in a safe place and must be asked for by the next boxer. I have made you the carver on this one, and the author will be Julie when I can remember her handle/ moniker.

Well...lol...it's julieinga

Easy enough. Actually, I remember because I talked to everyone for the event. That's all. Otherwise, I'd be like...who? where?

And, I still think it's cool!
