Anybody going this year? Sadly, I have to work, but my husband will be there for the first time with his home built airplane.

Anyone in the Green Bay Airport today? Or know of a box near it? So bored and need to stop eating cheese.

Series sneak peek near Three Lakes, WI
Board: State: Wisconsin

Hello Wisconsin!

I planted a series of boxes near Three Lakes a couple years ago, but I just got around to writing the clues. They are some of my best carves, and they honor a man I highly respect. Since they have been in the wild so long, I am wondering if there is a boxer near Three Lakes or Rhinelander that would be interested in getting a sneak peek at the clues to check on the boxes before I make them go live.

If that is you, send me an AQ Mail, and I'll get you set for the trail!

Thanks!

I posted this already on the Region: Great Lakes board, but I just want to make sure the word gets out.

Get ready to play the latest edition of the longest Bingo game in the world, Great Lakes Letterboxing Bingo! Based on boxers, boxes, and events in the six Great Lakes states from the traditional Yahoo Great Lakes board (OH, MI, WI, MN, IL, and IN), the game is open to anyone who would like to join in the fun.

The game start Jan. 1 and continues with one word called per day. A great way to stay connected to letterboxing and letterboxers thru the winter.

Interested? Just send me your email address in a private AQ message, and I'll send you out your 2020 bingo grid, word list, and rules. No commitment!
Going crazy with social distancing

Happy spring all,

I am going a little stir crazy cooped up by myself. I'm a teacher and we are at home for the foreseeable future. I'm in Milwaukee, if anyone would like to do some boxing on one of the warmer days coming up, let me know. I would not mind doing maintenance on some of my loops from past events, so that is an option too. Keeping our social distance on the trails while we are out is the plan.

Me too. I don’t feel like carving or reading. Going back and forth between here, Facebook, Netflix, and YouTube.

But I live in New York. Sorry

I would hike with you, or do maintenance- but I would have to do weekends, or after 5:00; I'm working from home. IF you want to check on Minooka loops, I was there yesterday- it is SCARY how much they have changed the trails and park!!!!

Sadly, I also have not been inspired to carve as of late, hoping this too shall pass!

Maybe some day when this is over and we can travel again, we'll be somewhere close enough to box together.

Well, I activated the clues today... I hope some of you are able to track them down. These are four of my best carves.

Healthy Trails!

We moved to the Wisconsin north woods area about a year and a half ago. Im pleased to say there there are more boxes here than in MN where I was previously. Are there any of you that meet this far north...or are all of you in the bigger cities?

We are in the big city... well right next to it... but are originally from up north (U.P., right on the border) so we try to get up there when we can. Welcome!

I actually am new at this and just started about a month ago. I am not in the northwoods, but in the fox valley, and unfortunately, there are not many letterboxes near me. I am hoping to plan more in my area to hopefully get it started and more popular.

Mystery Box in Port Washington

Hooray for my first post on a message board! I have a mystery to solve that is driving me bonkers. I was seeking a box at the Old Norwegian Cemetery, 3302 County Rd KK, Port Washington, WI. There is a big tree at the back of this old cemetery that has another letterbox in it, an owl carved out of pink stuff with no numbers of names listed anywhere on the stamp or box. I looked through mystery boxes listed in WI and everything listed nearby the area, but no luck. I am on the lower side of the planting count, so it's possible I just can't see the box listing. Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks!

TWO in one day! I met TWO letterboxers out in the wild in one day. Oh What a FANTASTIC day it was! I was driving to a talk on the Camino De Santiago which I plan to hike in 2025 and drove past an iconic place in Ephraim, WI on my way to the church and wouldn't you know...there they are...looking for a box. And I knew it because there was no other reason to be up in the snow and weeds. There is no such thing as coincidence...only divine appointment. We met up later in the day. Exchanged personal stamps, learned about each other, talked about the June 2023 Curd Herd event and basically...had a BLAST! I am so thrilled to not be alone when I go letterboxing anymore.
Thank you ISignASLily

Just returned from the Curd Herd Letterboxing Event in Door County, Wisconsin. ISignASLily did an amazing job putting this together with lots of fun little surprises and details. Box clues brought us to some of Door County's most beautiful spots. It was great to meet some legendary boxers whose names I have seen over the years. Thank you.
