Geocaches are treasure too. And Geocachers, at least the ones I know, hike. I might actually attempt to find some caches if they had their own treasure hiker program! But functionally, they are different sports. Letterboxing clues, especially treasure...

After following along with this, I have never been so glad that I never started tracking my hikes for Treasure Hiker points. I hike because I can, because I want to, and because I love letterboxing under bright blue clear fall skies. All this back and...

Geocachers are given coordinates to find. What do you set as the starting point for counting miles? I think this is the key. While I don't doubt that geocachers log some miles while caching, it is possible with bikes and four wheel drive to manage to g...

P.S. I did take him boxing, and he did not enjoy it. There are tons of different types of letterboxes. Maybe he didn't like the ones that you found together, but would like another type. I know, it's a hard sell after they've tried it once :)

The current special is to wave the $50 setup fee for designs that have expired. So if you're looking to get more pathtags for a design that's expired (i.e., the die was destroyed), now's the time to do it!

Crap. Now I have to make a decision to get more of the old expired design or not! I was kind of wanting a new one but the funds aren't readily available (nor has my designer created one yet). Hmmmm...

How do I start one? There isn't one here and I would like a little bit of fun and motivation for all my miles walked! Anyone have the info?

I read the FAQ last night, do I keep the rules listed in my profile somewhere? How do I get my state listed?
by AiphidProfileContactLogbookNote
Board: Treasure Hikers
Pick a start date for your state program (probably today) Edit the wiki page to include the state, start date, contact, and available tag(s). Announce on your state board (and maybe a regional one) (Optional) Plan a fund-raiser to get startup capitol...

OOOH! Awesome! Thank you! I found the edit tag at the bottom. I had no idea there was a page here I could edit! I just added the 25 and 50, everything else was perfect! I will have to come up with rules and the treasure hiker path tags!! As far...

I will have to come up with rules No need for that. The rules have already been set and are in Wiki. It makes it consistent and easy for everyone. No need for participants to search for an old post -- just check Wiki. :) Have fun! I have pathtags...

Are the va and nc programs still going? We were almost at our goal when we moved away and have the opportunity to finish nc in September!

I think the NC one might be. It was active a few years ago.

I ought to know this but I'm a little out of the loop. Message The Wolf Family. Last I heard she was handling the tags though they could have gone to someone else. Knit Wit

NC is! I have the tags. Just message me direct when you are ready. I'll provide my address and you send a SASE with $3. Don't worry if I have not signed into AQ in a while. All my AQ mail is forwarded to my phone so I get it much quicker than I...

Yes, I have it on my page.... but have gotten out of habit of entering them... is this something people still do?

Wow—thanks for bringing this up! CT is still active, in fact I’m wondering whether I should order a 500 mike pathtag... anyone ready? But this thread made me look up Massachusetts & realize I’m actually eligible! >KitKat<

I shall interpret this as a snub on how 'no boxes qualify for even the half mile requirement these days' just to stir the pot.

Not an issue in CT!

Somewhere along the way, I read about Treasure Hikers. So I started logging my treasure hikes, because Yay! Hiking!! And Yay! Letterboxing!! Most of my plants are about a mile at least, and I appreciate the longer hikes to get to the box. Anywho, I...

Hi there. For a few years, about 5 years ago, I was the Texas Treasure Hiking coordinator. I designed 25, 50, and 100 mile pathtags and had a supply of each made. I advertised the program for a while and "sold" the tags to boxers who asked for them bu...

Thats too bad. It sounds like a fun program. I wonder if patches would be more sought after? They are easier to display. If you have time to look, I'll take one for Texas. But no rush. Thank you!
