And of course, are clues getting updated when DCR updates trails? Yikes, this will be tough. BB

I can't get a straight edge to work. Even when I get it close to working, there's something about the results that just doesn't look right to me. Too mechanical-looking, or something. Straight lines, even border frame rectangles, I cut freehand, tru...

Hi from Buffalo!

For the last 4 years I've had a goal of finding every box in DSF and just completed it about 5 weeks ago. Yeah for me!!!!! For the most part the trails are easy to follow and well marked. One thing I really like is the main trails are not eaten up...

And of course, are clues getting updated when DCR updates trails? I think most of mine are updated, but I haven't checked on some of the boxes in a couple of years. So if you find that things have changed, please let me know so that I can update the cl...

One thing to be aware of: DSF (and other public lands here) are VERY popular with hunters. With hunting season approaching, make sure you dress appropriately whenever you letterbox in the woods of Douglas.

Anyone else having a their iPhone throw fits with the use my location option? As of a few days ago I could click "here" get my coordinates and search that area. Now it gives me "cannot determine location" I did upgrade to iOS 10 a week or so ago, but...

We are going to plug away at it slowly I think. We're finishing up Shelton this week for the Trails Marathon (I may go back on Wednesday to do some boxes in Woodbridge/Derby/Shelton, since I have the day off and TT is unavailable). Then I can't hike f...

I not only have to concentrate on keeping the cut straight, but I also have to make sure the width of the line remains consistent when I'm cutting both sides of a narrow straight line. Assume you're working under a magnifier lamp, so can imagine that u...

Your den won't have to create/hide a geocache for the Webelos Camper requirement. Just go and find one. But the Boy Scout merit badge for geocaching requires the scout to "plan a geohunt for a youth group" and "set up a course with at least four waypoi...

HaPpY HaPpY HaPpY DaNcE! HuGs! HuGs! HuGs!

I would just like to publicly thank those of you who have approximate addresses for your boxes :-). My GPS and I thank you! BB

Mine has actually been like that for a couple months on my galaxy 7 but I haven't really thought about it since

I deliberately didn't use addresses for some of my boxes. It's a form of restrictions without actually being restrictions. :^)

Postals are very much active. If you have some old carves you want to send out, just list the tracker and watch it fill up fast - some are completely signed up within hours! There are a lot of newer people who would love to see your carves. Some thing...

This was placed days ago- story weaver didn't update the post- but to be fair I did change my password and don't know if she knows it.

Thanks, Topcollector! (I actually saw a wooden top yesterday and thought of you!)

"S**t whisperer" That's too funny!

Yay!! We're so glad you decided to join this crazy hobby two years ago. Happy AQversary!

A big shout-out to Wendy (formally of the East Bay) and her 9-year AQ-versary. What an amazing carver/letterboxer!

Drives me nuts since I wander a lot without much pre-planning so while printing my clues and knowing where I'm going is good, it just doesn't happen to often. I find myself somewhere, see if there's a box, and chase box.

Happy cake day Wendy!!

Aww shucks, thanks guys!! ::frantically sweeps confetti::

Happy Cake DAY!!!

For the last several months, I've had at least one active box with some sort of maintenance issue - reported missing, logbook wet and needs replacing, etc. As of this afternoon, I've taken care of all pending problems, which means that all my active b...

I have learned to carve with either gouge or knife, but I prefer the knife. For one thing, I am not in a hurry; this is a hobby, I'm not being paid by the hour. A gouge is faster, to be sure; knife carving is a two-step process, first slicing around...

ATVRacer is going to working on the house tomorrow (finally working on my craft room.). Anyone interested in going boxing with me tomorrow? I'm thinking about the boxes MudCup planted in the Wiscasset area. Jiffy

If you are willing to make a return trip to Alientown, sure! ;-) LB

Thank-you sooooo much to Bon Echo and all of the wonderful letterboxers in Canada! What a great time we had today. Besides finding lots of letterboxes, we learned so much Canadian history, and made many new friends. Awesomeness everywhere! Nancy Acor...
