Welcome, redcurl! I'm excited that you'll be with us here in GA out on the trails. I echo what gapackrats and wiseoldowl said when they told you about coming to Red Top Mountain State Park in June. We can't wait to meet you and you'll learn A LOT about letterboxing etiquette from some very experienced boxers. A word of advice: be prepared for lots of personal travelers, or PTs. Look 'em up in the glossary if you haven't already. They often require a bit (and sometimes a lot) of research in order to obtain, but can be pretty neat and teach you a bit about your fellow letterboxers.

So very true. But don't feel like you have to do much (or any) of this either. Boxing is the main fun, and all the extras are fringe bonuses. It can be a bit overwhelming to try to take it all in at one time.

There are a lot of layers to this website, so explore and read as you find the time. In the mean time, enjoy the boxing!

Oh, and welcome!!

But hey Redcurl, no pressure to attend LBSE!!! LOL. But now you know how friendly everyone is, they all want you to attend.
Yes, Eidolon, your PT is hard!! I have no clue where to start. Maybe with pleading, begging,,,,,,,

Counting the days til LBSE. It may be me and maybe no munchkins- I can move faster-but I'll need boxing buddies.

Thanks for all the welcoming messages. I'm going to try and make the Red Top Mountain event, but I have two jobs at the moment which makes it a little tricky. I might be working on a personal stamp carve in the next week or so, so that'll replace the fox I'm using in everyone's boxes now.

We will be...we'll be in the pull through sights.....I'll try to get a spot close to the front...we have a WhiteHawk travel trailer , white and tan...if you look really close there is an image of our signature stamp on the window by the front door. Also the same image is on the back window of our truck. And we have a green ceramic turtle we place on the picnic table.
We'll be there Friday and Saturday nights. Anyone is welcome to drop on by.

Oh, tigs, I am so glad you're coming! I was hoping you could make it to my neck of the woods. Now, drag Wolfie & RDHG with you!

I do want to get to your neck of the woods some time, but all my weekends in May are already booked! So it won't be happening this month. But I do intend to see you at the end of the month. ;)

It's not in May, Wolfie. It's in June. June 8th, to be precise.

Ah, I just got reminded of this. I hope to be back in town on the 8th, and if so I will join you guys. I signed up.

I'm taking a bike trip up to Iowa. Maybe meeting up with Maude and her "Desserts First" club and do a little Letterboxing in eastern Iowa.

I was out letterboxing in Roswell today and banged my head on a metal thing trying to get a box. Contemplating getting a tetanus booster tomorrow because of it.

Does everyone else get constantly injured doing this or is it just me?

Well, it's definitely a Georgia thing. I can't speak for the rest of the country, though!

You are really a Ga. boxer if you went on for more boxes before taking care of your injury.

I think it's just you. I've NEVER been with anyone who was injured on the trails. Or seen the mother of all copperheads. Or been trapped behind locked gates. Or hidden from Freddy at his cabin. Or hidden from the police. Or climbed mountains with a broken ankle. Nope - it's definitely just you.

I'm laughing out loud, Artemis! I've heard about some of y'all's adventures! Welcome to the club Redcurl! It's part of the territory, bumps bruises, scrapes, sliding downhill, crouching behind cover hoping to look innocent but not succeeding.... I started last year it motivated me to get my tetanus booster that was long overdue! We haven't found poisonous snakes, only garder snakes but we have seen some pretty creepy people, lurking behind trees, holding plastic and reading directions........

So I guess you have not met Isabeau or Scout Mom yet. HA!

Words of wisdom:
*Be careful where you poke your stick, and never do it because you just need to know what might be in that hole
*Always bring first aid supplies
*Know your snakes and spiders-or at least the dangerous ones

And never box with Big Red if she has a stick because she is going to poke that hole. Ask her daughter.

Although she does have good trail magic. With anti-oxidants!
