As we are both letterboxers (primarily) and geocachers, there was a list of new "letterboxing" hybrids listed on geocaching.com. [...] Letter + Box ╪ letterbox. The letterbox hybrids around here (except for mine) have all been store-bought stamps. In...

Remembering Holly on her birthday. Dick & Peg

I always do… even though I never met her!

Thanks to organizers of the Four Corners' Event, Sunny Delight and Birchmoon, to area boxers who helped RNR, Kaw, Aspen and to Mim and other boxers who lent carvings and letterboxes. We had a great time meeting old and new New Mexican letterboxers and...

I add my thanks, too. Great, well-organized event. We had so much fun! Just not enough time to visit with everyone...

We add to the thanks! So glad it worked into our travel plans. The folder and provided clues were much appreciated, the hosts did a wonderful job. Great to see old friends and meet new ones! -Pat & Jack

We totally agree. It was clear many days & hours of work went into organizing this Event. We are grateful for all who contributed! THANK YOU! Dick & Peg

Yes, thanks to EVERYone who organized the event as well as all the carvers and planters who helped make this such a fun day for all of us. Thanks for all the mapping and printing of clues as well as setting up tents and hauling tables and chairs! A fab...

Seekers Two and I are preparing for a special event in Evergreen Colorado in 2016. Please sign up now, or save the date - the more the merrier! http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?eventId=3516 FRH

I do both Geocaching and Letterboxing. I think that it's hard keeping stamps in a hybrid. The stamps show up missing so many times in a hybrid box. I've come acrossed a few hybrids with no stamp in them. Not every Geocacher knows about Letterboxing. I'...

I'm sure they see a stamp and think it's swag. I would never place a hybrid for that reason. I've placed seven geocache hybrids. (One I listed as a mystery so that people would be able to earn a souvenir for Pi Day.) One of them was muggled, but the st...

I don't know of a letterbox around here where the stamp was taken by a geocacher. Maybe this is just a place where geocachers know about hybrids. While I agree that many geocachers in our area know about - and respect - letterboxes, not all do. I lost...

I routinely checked for nearby caches in the planting area. Lesson learned well. That is good practice for all letterboxers. We shouldn't have to do so, but by doing so the letterboxes become less likely to go missing or have the stamps traded out. I...

It's too bad that one went missing to muggles. It's BACK! "Missing" is not strong enough for what the muggles did to that box! It was pure, unadulterated destruction. Everything was in pieces! (shaking head) (I'm sure they were generic muggles, not g...

I don't know of a hybrid around here where the stamp was taken. Judging by many years of (mostly anecdotal) evidence, I would say you are definitely bucking the odds. Which makes sense, since I've always considered you an odd bucker.

The stamps show up missing so many times in a hybrid box. Knock on wood, the hand-carved stamps in my three hybrids have managed to survive thus far. Those who have found them have been experienced geocachers, for the most part. Finding them pretty m...

Three weeks to go until the Share the Love events in Evergreen Colorado! We have over 125 letterboxes ready to plant, with more on the way! What's the most boxes you have found in one day... or one weekend? We're out to challenge that number with am...

I just found out someone planted a new letter box in the same location as one I planted last year. The location is not a large location and now people will be searching ALL over this small place to find not one, but now two boxes. Has all courtesy gone...

Has all courtesy gone from letter boxers? The AQ Code of Conduct specifically addresses this issue. AQ also has a Best Practices page for message board posting. Before posting on the boards, how exactly did you come to the conclusion that the other pl...

people will be searching ALL over this small place Hopefully your clues are written so that when people get to the correct general location, they can immediately walk right up to the box and not be looking all over the place. If people have to hunt a...

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm 52, female, semi-retired graphic artist. Recently I transplanted to Colorado Springs/Black Forest from Iowa and am hoping to meet other LBers in the area. I don't know how to find...

Welcome to Colorado! Hope to meet up with you soon.

Illinois letterboxers miss you. : (

The Pikes Peak Hill Climb is this month which means the annual MDA-Firefighter Chili Cook off will be happening as part of fanfest in downtown Colorado Springs! Come out and try some delicious chili, support Colorado firefighters and MDA, and find a le...

I officially listed the box to get the word out but it will not be available until June 23! Hope to see you there!! https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?boxId=282319

The MDA-Firefighter chili cook-off is this Friday!! To find the aforementioned box you need to find the vehicle that belongs to the meddling kids. Once located, ask for the box of Scooby snacks. See you there!

Chili Cook off day is here!! Hope to see some fellow letterboxers out there. https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?boxId=282319
