And here in the West too :)

They do get cleaned away after a while since they clog up the searches for reviewers, and you might get asked when you plan to release the cache. Also, if someone has a cache in progress and happened to start it before you "reserved" a page that cache...

I found a last letterbox of the year on the last day of the year. Very nice way to end the year. The only sad thing is that that's one less box within reasonable distance. I guess I need to plant more and try to convert more local geocachers to the ink...

Well, I hope to find at least one box today. Not sure if I'll plant one, though.

Was wondering... AQ automatically sends a one week email reminder for the LTC trackers. "You're signed up for Faces of the World, which is scheduled to start a week from today! If you won't be able to participate, please let us know right away so we ca...

I agree that a week's reminder isn't enough time for LTCs, so I try to send my own reminders about a month in advance. It would be great if we had an option to customize the date of the reminder email, since you might like 2 weeks and I might like 4 we...

My resolution is the same as last year. To get a box in every town/city in Massachusetts and to add new states. I added six new states in 2015, it would have been seven but the one box I had time to look for in Oaklahoma was missing. Arizona is on my...

Yay! Your Box of the Month totally fulfills my "need" to find at least one traditional LB each month. And now it will be 2 boxes per month!

I agree that the time is minimal, but extending it too far would probably cause some people to ignore that reminder because, "oh look I still have two weeks." I changed my listings to send by due dates instead of received by dates because I realized m...

I changed my listings to send by due dates instead of received by dates because I realized most people were using that option anyway. I did the same thing and give a 10-day grace period. This has resulted in fewer last-minute drops and more on-time pac...

....and from the Great Lakes area too!

Happy New Year! Looking forward to starting with the O Letterbox Tree tomorrow for all who can visit!! We even have good enough weather to include a two-mile hike this year! <3

I always send my own email out 2 to 3 weeks ahead, requesting if people feel like they wont finish on time, now is the time to drop. Then the 1 week is a last minute reminder, in my opinion. Sometimes people don't even log in every week.

I get to find a new box today that was just planted this week. It's rare that we get any new ones here in Central IL that are within an easy driving time.

Sorry i didnt know about not posting the clue ... Wont do that again Thanks for everyone's help I appreciate it - i've decided I'm going to do what people have suggested above as well as leave a note in my box saying please do not leave swag This...

Over the river and through the woods To grandma's house we go I found my first box of 2016 It was under the snow I planted two boxes late last night and posted the clues, but it was before midnight. Guess those don't count as 2016 plants, but it was a...

My resolution the past 2 years was to find at least 365 boxes per year, and I succeeded. I aim for the same in 2016. (It helps the count to attend events.) With the input of better brains, I would still like to break the clue for the Pam Dora box in...

I know the person who put it in there does letterboxing and geocaching and he was only doing it to be nice , I don't know if down the road it would have cost me a problem but having someone had asked me If the stamp was for trade and that they were new...

To remember AND CARRY replacement supplies for boxes found, should there be a need. Please do not say "You mean you don't!" I carry them, but it seems they run out too quickly. Happy New Year! phynstar

I joined TMPC a few months ago but haven't ordered anything from them yet. Their "experiences" start at $99 - and they have a variety. Some are just a one-time curiosity, and others are much more involved (lasting weeks or even months). The description...

I started on a keto diet on the first of Dec after getting a blood test a little high on the A1c and I have lost 15 lbs already. Yay! I'll have to see where I am on the A1c in six months on this.

I know it's past the gift giving season but here's an idea that might be helpful next year or for a party favor, or....who knows? I made these for hot cocoa packets for the children in my after school tutoring group. I stamped the cardstock with snowfl...

According to AQ, they are newbies, with no finds. No, according to AQ they just created that trailname and listed those 4 boxes. Anything beyond that is an assumption. Rather than a newbie, when I read them I assumed it was an experienced planter usi...

I found a box and a HH this morning!

After being thwarted by several inches of ice, we finally found a box! Woohoo! Let the year begin!

No, according to AQ they just created that trailname and listed those 4 boxes. Anything beyond that is an assumption. I assumed it was an experienced planter using an alias. Ooooh, do you know something that I don't know? <G> Remember, I was just ther...

We took a pass. Did that recently also. There are just some letterboxes we don't feel comfortable looking for.

Southpaw and I hiked in a beautiful area today. Found one box and planted one box, plus saw and heard loons. Managed to avoid getting attacked by bears. Great way to start 2016!

Great job!!!! I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and have been trying to control my a1c with diet and exercise and lost 20lbs since Oct. I fell off the wagon right before thanks giving but have maintained the loss. I still have a long ways to go as...

So very sad to lose such a creative and fun loving letterboxing friend. I remember when she, Poodle Dudes and Smiley climbed Mt Saint Helens in dresses on Mother's day 2010. All the planning ahead and even photos of their adventure can be seen... h...
