Der Mad Stamper box is #360962.
It was a nice tribute

Congrats BEBO.

Aah, shucks.

This was my first Live and Breathe event and I am so impressed with all the hard work and effort that went into it. Thanks to all that gave their time. It was great to see old friends and make new ones. Looking forward to Maine!

It was our first as well and it was AWESOME! We loved meeting everyone and the workshops were very informative. Now to start saving for L&B XXX!

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 saw you from afar but never got close enough to you or Polish Baker to say Hello!! My favorite Southside boxers!

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.

I never saw you. It was a lot of fun!

15 years of memories gone... new facebook page is my pictire with our cat confetti when she was a kitten in a pink collar. Facebook suggests friends and then i try to swnd a request and it says sorry we dont think you know them.... its more funny when im related to them.

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.

I found this box not very long ago. Thank you for sharing about your experience and how special the box is/was to you and your grandma. 💐😊

thank you
for this lovely memory

That is so sweet. A memory you will always cherish.

Drive-by's my friend, drive by's

And what a happy story about this letterbox. Warms my heart

We'll start calling you S.W.I.S.S. Miss!

Sounds like a great personal traveler

I know that our numbers have been down the past few years and I know that I have not contributed much. But this year, PAL Day is on a Friday and anything you plant on Thursday, Friday or Saturday counts as long as you make the plant date 5/24/24!

I've got a bunch of boxes to plant, so I'm saving up for that Saturday. Because there's a max of 20 per individual.

Who's with me this year?
SC

I'll be in Virginia that whole weekend! 🤣🤣 Sorry, NC!!!

Plant on Thursday!

I gotta work til 8pm that day and be packed to leave the next morning? Better luck next year from me lol!!!

I’m planning on planting in Colorado this year

Hey! I was actually just wondering about this. I have 11 stamps ready to go, but I'm from IL. The entire 'three' days of PAL I will be in North Carolina though. So if I planted some in NC, the count would go towards NC, is that right?

Correct. We welcome you to NC with open arms!!!!! 😀

Yes, Welcome to NC!

Bad news! I'm going to be in Maryland from the 20th to the 28th. Last year I did my part for NC so you'll have pull it out for us this year! You can do it! I didn't know there was a 20 box limit. Will keep that in mind for next year!

I'll try, but that's all I can promise.
