50 people! That's HUGE!!! What a crowd. Sounds like a very successful gathering! The Jiggs were there! Wanda and Pete AND Hikers and Hounds! WOW! I wish I could have been there.

Sounds like you guys had a great time.

Hi Alysonwonderland!

Unfortunately, you cannot log a find on AtlasQuest unless the placer (or adopter) has logged it in. If it is not listed on either site, I'm guessing it's a retired box. If you happen to remember the name of the placer and they have any other boxes planted, you could contact them through either site and ask if they'd post the letterbox on AQ.

Happy Hunting!
Amyrica

If you happen to remember the name of the placer

Here's the link to the box owner...

Hope this helps,

Just wanted you to know I am enjoying your story very much! Thank you!
CR

Steve - I am loving this! Especially since two of my boxes are in your story!
I wish I had this talent... please continue....

Just wanted to post a few web sites I found that have some cute ideas for fingerprint animals and creatures. (For those that don't remember doing this is school)

i thought some of these were adorable. Although i think my favorite was a group of seals I saw someone do at Passport to Letterboxing.

I'm new to this game!
Any other South Africans out there doing the same thing? Come on lets get this going

The RB Russell State Park (Elberton GA) series has been posted to AtlasQuest and will be posted to LBNA today. I will also take Family Heritage - Durham to AtlasQuest and LBNA today so you can count it!

Upon counting our finds today for the first time in a few weeks, we
realized that the Bovine Madness was our 100th find! So much for
choosing which it would be, but what an appropriate 100th. Certainly
the most time spent on one box. Thanks D&D for a cool 100th stamp.

Eli and Aubrey

ahhhh... how much is it worth to you? I have a sneaky link that you might find VERY useful. How's about the LbNA database BW? That's Before Wes, dontcha know. Try this:

There are no guarantees that anything here is still in action but many are. Funhog

That is very cool! Congratulations!

raise the letterboxing bar with new and creative ideas. (Not that I've had any of those recently either, but you never know when inspiration will strike!)

Yes, Ryan, because NOTHING on this site is either new or creative...

I've set it up so Pete and Wanda get an e-mail notification whenever somebody records finding a hitchhiker on Atlas Quest, so they'll automatically be notified and can manually update their page as well.

That is just TOO cool. You think of everything. Thanks for cutting OUR work in half!

Congrats E & A! I believe Bovines is a great 100th as many of us have no clue where it is!

OK, I have two questions -
1. When I post a box to the list, where is the spell check? I can't type and really can't spell. And hopefully it has grammer check also.
2. How can I delete a box from my logbook? By mistake I put one in twice.
I know these are probably really easy questions so don't laugh. Computers and I don't think alike. ;)

When I post a box to the list, where is the spell check?

There aren't any spell checks anywhere as of yet--neither here, LbNA, Yahoo Groups, etc. For now, the best I can recommend is typing your clues and messages into something like Microsoft Word, run it through spell or grammer checkers as necessary, then cut and paste the message to where you want to post it.

I do have on my to-do list adding a spell checker to these message boards (which would also work with sending mail messages and posting clues), but it's not likely I'll ever put in a grammer check. I have no timeline for when a spell check will be available here, however.

If you drill down to the page that shows all the details of your letterbox, there's a link near the upper-right corner to delete the box. =)

Happy trails!

Thanks for the link to the LbNA BW website! I wish the GA and SC links still worked. :-( Oh well.

I am also in a couple of the rings. They are at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/postal_letterboxing/

There are no open rings at this time. If someone wants to start one they can though. Just read through the posts to see how it was done.

Basically it means that you will be flooded with Postal Mailboxes though. Unless you keep the Ring numbers low. I am on one with 18 and another with 10.

We also did a Postal Lettercard Exchange. 21 people bought 20 postcards or cards depicting their region and sent them out with their signiture stamp on them. I have received 5 so far. It's a blast.

Whoops, forgot to do SC!

That's pretty cool! You guys were FF too, so if you want to email me offlist and tell me where to send your FF prize, I'll get it on the way.

Darren and I saw it in 3d on the Imax with my 7 year old sister. I loved it. If you can see it in 3D, it's worth it because the effects are really cool.

This is the site I got the clues for Railroad Trail II near Tybee Island, which is MIA. Took a shot that it might still be there, despite the evidence to the contrary.

If you can see it in 3D, it's worth it because the effects are really cool.

Having seen the regular version, I would LOVE to have seen it at the IMAX. I can imagine it was awesome.

"It seems that everyone might be making up though. I guess that's what I like about letterboxing... We seem kind of like a family. People in families fight but seem to make up in most cases."

Yes, I agree, Cherokee... when everything is said and done, and the dust has settled... in the end, people are more important than letterboxes.

Der Mad Stamper

We had fun at Tribble Mill Park. We found all 3 boxes and thought the stamps were very nice. Little Princes is a real artist!!

Our 17 month old helped find them. She has 13 boxes in her log book including 1 first find. This was the first time she did the stamp. What fun.

The park was much bigger than we thought and it was beautiful day to be there. There were many people out exercising.

Thanks Bzmom and Little Princes for showing us a new place.

This can't lead to anything good. It shows the Bond Series in Raleigh, NC.

At the house in Marietta I kissed them goodbye,
My little girl smiled with that gleam in her eye…
I retraced some steps from the previous day,
Took a right, then a left. I was well on my way!

Over a bridge too narrow for two,
Swerved ’round curves, crossed another bridge, too.
The lights at the lot were just blinking on,
The sun would be gone soon, gone until dawn.

Now where do I go? I asked the cold air.
I furrowed my brow, ran a hand through my hair.
I glanced to the road—there was a sign!
With trails on a map! Say, this is fine!

I wouldn’t remember from the look that I took,
So I sketched out the map in my letterbox book!
Light yielded to darkness—another short fade,
I slipped past a bench, down a path others made…

To be continued…

When you are a child who grows up on a dead-end street you learn every pace of the street as if it is your own fingerprint. Every pothole and pucker becomes a whorl of identity. It is a place of comfort and familiarity, an unspoken connection; black summer heat - swirling mirages of August happiness.

I'm here Fish-or-Man. Where are the rest of the CT people?
I'm working on an interview with Ryan for our website so I hope that exposure will get more Northeastern letterboxers over to this website.

Nice job at Chatfield Hollow, by the way!
