There's been a "Letterboxing Southwest" board since practically the day these message boards went up. You've been the only folks with your own private "regional" board all this time! =) (The board is now called Regional: Southwest.

Yeah, but Ryan,
NC, SC, GA, FL plus a few others are in the southeast

but you fixed that ...we have our own board now to!

That's what I meant. The souteast board has always been there. The southwest board is new. =) If you check the board now, you'll see the first post was made in November of 2004. That's not a typo! =)

Well maybe it will start getting used again. It sure would help with all those NC-SC post!

Cool, thanks for bringing my attention to it.

Awesome! Thank you Ryan!!! =o)

Ryan!

Thanks for the regionalized board! Looking forward to seeing these boards generate as much activity as the east coast boards. I have several series of stamps I would like to carve over the next few weeks and months and get them planted before the weather starts to take a colder turn. Give some of the cold weather hikers/campers and LBers something to do this winter.

It was great making many new friends from the great NW at Live & Breathe! heyokah man, Calli-K, Wild Hair, deniserows, KuKu, Spike, Future Librarian, Balladone Bunch ('Hello, Kayak Bandit'!), Mike and Elaine, and of course the whole clan of green army man (you guys are a hoot! And it sounds like I was spared and only know the half of it ; ) I just wish I had had more time to meet more of you... next gathering perhaps!

cheers!
stormcrow

I second that! There were too many boxes and boxers and too little time! Let's have some more get-togethers!!

(it was very nice meeting you too, stormcrow - remember, BB and I are going to head up your way at some point, so we're counting on you to point us in the right direction for some awesome Spokane boxes... =)

WTA is scheduled to spend two days Oct 18 and 19 doing annual maintenance (brushing and treadwork) on the Augspurger Trail in the Columbia River Gorge. (The Dog Mountain Trailhead)

You get a Northwest Forest Pass for your trouble!

I wish I could sign up for it, but as usual--I am working weekends and won't be able to get it off. But I thought some of the Portland area letterboxers might be interested.

Did some LONG over due maintence out there...terrific park if any of you haven't been! I do belive there is plenty of room for some more well placed boxes.

XPost warning!

These boxes are in Graham, Washington...which borders Puyallup in the South Hill area.

There are 8 there right now, in 2 different series. These were placed a little over a year apart and show the progression of my carving and planting. **BOTH SERIES HAVE HAD CLUE CHANGES**

The BYOHFS series is missing the last box, but that will be remedied by the end of the month.

The Just Keep Swimming series had 2 boxes that were lonely for a long time, the trails have changed a bit due to windstorms and such. But all 6 boxes of this series are alive and well!

Let me know if you plan on coming to get these...perhaps I can meet up with you!

Sounds like a fun time. We will eventually be heading up there. Not this weekend, as there will be a girl Scout camp, but soon.

Thanks
Danny

Whew! I have been on a carving frenzy the past few weeks! I finally got around to bagging and tagging them all and spent today planting them. I didn't have time to hike them to any remote locales so for now they are all pretty easy to locate. Most have a "monster" theme to them so I wanted to get them planted before Halloween. I will move to more inspired locations down the road.

Safe Travels!

Chris/Loper

Would that be Redmond OR or WA? My fingers are crossed that it's OR. Funhog

Redmond, WA......I only get to Redmond, OR about twice a year :)

Chris/Loper

Hufflepuff Lost and Benetti's Defense will be visiting Portland this weekend.

I've posted a last minute M&G to meet them at Old Town Pizza.

Hope some of you can join us!

There is a new box of the month series beginning this month and running for the next 13 months. That's right we added a month to 2009! This box will have a new stamp and log book each month featuring boxers from around the US. Here is an opportunity to log a new stamp each month. Get your log book and come by!!!

Yes, everyone should come out. This is a great one!

I thought the box of the Month was going to be in Bellingham.

I believe it is going to be in both Washington locations this year.

We have one in Bellingham, too! Here's the link:

So if you miss the Box of the Month when it's in Tumwater, you will still have a chance to get it in it's northern location before it heads to the east coast.

And I highly recommend making a trip north to our letterboxers paradise - have you seen how many boxes we have in Bellingham?!!

There is another limited edition Letterbox in the Seattle area, by TREX called Man for the Season:

We are indeed lucky here in the PNW, there is also a Box of the Month 2008-2009 in MicMinnville Oregon. Murry Herd is the host there. So with a little driving you have three chances to score the stamp.

I know! I live about 45 minutes away from Bellingham. that's why I wanted to know.

Murray Herd planted her Box of the Month in Newberg. It's a very nice box this month. I had a lovely time getting it yesterday with one of my favorite boxers :)

Come to the coast, gang!

Ok... thinking it's really been far too long since I visited the North coast...
