It had me stumped a while back. I hope when I go to release another box, I remember how to do it.

Ditto to all Bebo Bear said. Looking forward to a Maine event in 5 years! Unlike Bebo Bear I just put the boxes in and am sitting at 1999, like RDHG mentioned to me this morning.

I cannot find the number of correct name for two stamps from today. Any assistance would be appreciated since one of them might get me that milestone.

The Silver Eagle tribute

Box we found which was a Silver Eagle tribute (behind the Bolick building) was A Secret Hobby #360095 perhaps that's it?

The Box King Museum box (222476) desperately needs some TLC. Is there anyone close that could do it? It needs a new box w/ magnet and we didn't have any of those on our drive through. Message me if you can help for more details. Cross-posting to SC board.

You have made a habit of losing your sig stamp. We need to get together and do some relaxed boxing around GA.

North Carolina did a great job hosting this wonderful event!!!! It takes a ton of prep, and also hard work during, and you all were awesome!!! I am worn out, and sad to be back in the real world today. Can't wait for the next one.....crickets and all.

I was the one who found your sig stamp and handed it over to SHH to return to you! Glad it made it back into your hands. I would have been devastated to lose my sig stamp.

Such a great event.

Retiring a 15+yr old box with my 85 yr old grandma

I just wanted to share a little heart-warming story...

Back in 2008, to share my letterboxing hobby with my family, I put together a box called "Grandma's Flowers" for my grandmother, who would have been 70 at the time. We went and planted it together in Waxhaw, NC at Cane Creek Park. It was a fun little thing just to spend some time with her. Little did I know what the future plans for this box was, or even how long it would last.

Fast forward 15+ years. She turned 85 on January 18th, so for her birthday, we drove to Cane Creek to get the box and retire it, basically as a birthday gift. After searching for a while, considering the clues had changed over the years, we found it! I let her open it up (we both barely remember what it even looked like, or what we put in it)... and SHE WAS BLOWN AWAY! She absolutely loved all of the stamps (even the damp, blurry ones), all the messages, and realizing that people all over the country had stopped by to find her box.

She put the whole letterbox, dirt included, in a ziploc baggie and couldn't wait to take it to church to show her friends. LOL

The box is now successfully retired and we got some pretty cool memories from it. Thanks everyone that stopped by and logged into "Grandma's Flowers".

I looked up your box and I was 1st finder at age 54, I'm 70 now and I'm still LBing. Due to health issues I no longer can hike but still love being part of lbing.
I remember your box and the park, it was a great weekend of boxing. Thank you for planting and the great memories of days gone by.
