We're back and looking to get boxing again!

Hi everyone!
Way back in 2007 we joined Atlasquest as oliverfamily. We LOVED letterboxing and getting to know everyone. (and still do!) We took a long break when we moved out of the country, but we're back! I see that there are still a few familiar boxers! Yay!! It seems that our number have dwindled over the years, maybe we just haven't been back long enough.. Anyway, we're telling everyone we know about letterboxing and we plan to plant at least 20 new boxes this spring and summer. Does anyone have any ideas about how to spread the word?

Why did moving out of the country require taking a break from letterboxing? Not popular where you were? Not possible where you were?

We went to language school in Costa Rica and the took every moment and all the brain power we had.. lol And then we went to Ecuador to be missionaries. It wasn't super popular there and we had a great deal of other things that took up our time.

What part of Alabama do you hail from? I'm way down here in the far south section myself, and I miss all the boxes in north Georgia! :-)

My daughter lives just south of B'ham in Helena. We will be there the 12 - 17. I had planned to do some boxing, but will try to get some planted as well. So many in Alabama have disappeared over the years, but we had a great event near Huntsville recently. A beautiful place to visit and box.

Artboy, I miss finding your boxes in N GA! You are such a clever carver. Wondered where you went.

Welcome back!

Ecuador! This one is one my bucket list ;) and I used it to cover my tracks while planting by putting in a temporary find on this box (with the owner's permission of course) on the same day!

Hot Hot Hot

Did you ever try for it?

Sorry, don't mean to derail this thread but...

Hey, ART BOY, I see by your blog you are an artist. You need to be joining LTC Trackers, young man! haha

And back on topic, welcoming your return, Los Enamorados. The more the merrier. 😊

Bienvenidos de regreso! :-). Plant everything in B’ham before summer because we’re flying in for hubby’s reunion. War Eagle!
