I think it's great when boxers take time to email about a box. Just yesterday I sent an email about a HH that came from Indiana to South Carolina....it was sent out originally in Pa and was carried from Wisconsin to Illinois (I think). Just remember...

Look up HOGWEED..no s..........and there are photos. Sort of pretty and it does sort of resemble Queen Anne's Lace.....but it is wayyyyyy big and causes the dermatitis stuff. Haven't seen it here in SC, but then we have enough kudzu to cover the count...

Just hit "thread" to the right of the message and it will bring up all the previous posts about Giant Hogweed..including my links. As for kudzu..I remember watching a fascinating document about it when I was in college. I was amazed at how fast the st...

Ah..I stand corrected. It WAS brought from Japan and it WAS eventually used in the 30's to combat erosion, but it was brought here first in the 1800's as an ornamental plant. Just like the Giant Hogweed was!!! http://www.alabamatv.org/kudzu/ LW

yesterday, at superwalmart, i found these cute little "spiral bound notebooks" they are 3 1/2"x5" & there are no lines in them. kinda strange to me to call it a notebook w/o lines. anywho, they have 4 different covers & the best part is they were only...

I thought it a great idea too-I saw your apology and recognized your frustration of so few San Jose boxes. I have introduced mySan Jose sister to letterboxing and she even carved a stamp. But then when she went to find any they were all missing or rea...

Kudzu is everywhere down here in the Atlanta area. There is even a letterbox called Kudzu Crazy in which you have to hike through narrow trails worn within a kudzu field. It is pretty and a little creepy. After living here for almost 30 years I had...

I am looking for some Southern California boxers-my aunt is really interested in starting it too, but can't find any boxes in her area at all. spring and snake

When I first moved to SC from the Midwest I was convinced the stuff MUST be possessed to grow like it does! Kudzu in the right conditions can grow up to * 18 inches a day * !!! Creeeeeeepy, weird stuff. LOL GreyCrazy

OO OO!! Where did you find them in WalMart? I've got to go there today and would love to check this out!

it was at our SUPERWALMART, i "think" it was in their clearance aisle, sorta near housewares. i "think" the snow cone machines were on the other side of this aisle. does that help?

I found some here in the craft section, with the scrapbooking supplies. I bought some awhile back that were a buck apiece, then bought some on clearance for half price. They have thick pages, so you could use front and back, but mine only have about 15...

Thanks for the info and welcome to letterboxing! I am not sure what route we'll be taking yet, but I don't think we'll be coming up the coast. Our first stop is Mt. Katahdin so I am guessing that my husband (the family navigator) will be taking a direc...

I've lived in GA for about 15 years now and only just realized last year what a pretty flower kudzu has. When I first moved here I remember driving along interstates, the landscape one of giant green hills and mounds, kudzu-covered trees and billboards...

Yea, we joke here in Atlanta, "If you stand still long enough, the Kudzu will grow right over you"... funny, but true!! CR

Quote I'll have to go find that Kudzu Crazy box! When you go, the ink pad accidently left in the box is mine (assuming no one else has been there in the last year). You can have it. *grin*

You are right. It looks EXACTLY like Queen Anne's Lace only on steriods. It is really freaky to see one up close. And unless the law has changed very recently it was still legal to grow in PA. Yikes! I've seen it in Orange County NY. Cleverpig

Just looking at the photos is kind of creepy. It reminds me of some old B movie where something is taking over the world...be it tarantulas, a blob, kudzu.... Definitely a "wow" thing though. JoAnn

I've posted a photo from the Kudzu Crazy letterbox vicinity to give you an idea of the walls of kudzu. http://www.atlasquest.com/gallery/viewphoto.html?gPhotoId=3130&gReturnUrl=%2Fgallery%2Fviewalbum.html%3FgAlbumId%3D35

This past 2 weeks have been crazy. I had that flurry of carving Cherokee images I told you guys about...then I had to plant them. I really did want to get them out on THAT day (planting day). Only a couple was planted earlier that week. The majority...

Oh, I feel for you. But there really is no arguing with the tribal authority. Perhaps you can think along the lines of urban letterboxers, and try to locate some letterboxes in businesses that you have realationships with. Or you could go small an...

I actually have a lot of these on VHS. I taped them from Showtime 20 years ago for my oldest son. Hmm. maybe I could get someone to put them on DVD, or digitize them somehow... Diana

I was so dismayed when Aahz came under attack for his attemps at increasing the number of letterboxes in his region. I had a letterbox planned for San Jose anyway, and made certain that I got it in place in time for our Big Day of Letterboxing. And d...
