Board: Stamp Carving and Mounting
I'm pretty sure that if I tried that, I wouldn't even plan on it coming out looking like the original image. Rather, I'd just dive in with a miniaturized 1V and nip little slivers out wherever there's a light area among the hairdo without trying to fu...

While I've not seen it a lot I've found this happens in areas where there is something is famous and there are several carves of it.

After having just met Maude at the Homerdoodle event, I so wish I could have come to her event in Iowa. But a family wedding takes precedence. I'm so glad to hear the great reports celebrating the event.

That's pretty detailed. I haven't done that much detail but almost. When I'm attempting something like that I follow the advise above - magnifier, lamp, small tool. For me it helps to not think about the image as a whole, just slowly and patiently remo...

Magnifier, tiny gouge, time and patience.

I tend to be a bit more impressionistic in my carvings, and would do enough to give the IDEA of the very curly hair, as opposed to attempting major detail work on it. (but then, my carving is more like painting, to me, and each person's carving is very...

Hello Michigan!! I am planning a trip to Whitefish Point. I was hoping for some ideas, input, etc on the area. I'm interested in rock collecting on the beach and the bird observatory. Looking to spend a night or two in the area. Any insight would b...

I have AT&T and had no cell phone coverage at Whitefish Point (unless you count ROGERS from Canada). If you have Clue Tracker, save all of the area letterboxes (LbNA & AQ) in advance so you'll have the clues. The museum there in Whitefish Point is ex...

Yeah I think I will have to go with that approach. I think this will be too hard to figure out. Thanks everyone for the help.

Hi GypsyLadybug, We drove around Lake Superior and spent some time in that area last summer. And we included rock collecting on our agenda. Here is a good website to give you a few hints: http://www.superiortrails.com/agate-beaches-upper-peninsula.ht...

We stayed at Tahquamenon State Park...It was a few years back though. we have verizon and had coverage, except for a few dirt roads. we found many letterboxes and a few mystery boxes as well. check out spring chicks plants! I can talk to Mike for sp...

How do you save boxes on clue tracker ?
Board: State: Michigan
After you run your search, select the backpack icon. you can add that list to an existing list or create a new one. then you don't have to have wi-fi to look up.

rock collecting on the beach Is that like "gem mining" in the south? Except free?!?

My Edward scissorhands carve is similar. Not quite as curly, but close. It took me 9 hours to carve. Just go really slow, and i highly recommend using OZ cut instead of pink stuff to hold all those lines. If yiundo, you'll need a Staedtler miniatur...

If you need something to do, Tahquamanon Falls both the upper and lower are worth seeing as is the Pictured Rocks. They can only be experienced by boat. We took the boat ride and it was well worth the price. There are many quickly accessible boxes a...

A great hike is from the Lower to the Upper Tahquamenon Falls and back, with lunch at the Tahquamenon Falls Brewpub.

Ok. I'll go take a look, grab the troop number and see if I can locate the leader. Chances are, they probably hid it, gave a WOM clues and didn't know about listing it.

was a challenging hike without the stroller, I assume. A little challenging, but not too bad, especially if you refuel at the restaurant before the return hike. Great scenery! Another thing anyone visiting Paradise should do is eat a cheeseburger whil...

BEST bra ever!!!

and be sure to take breaks and don't carve when you're tired. Nothing worse than blowing a critical line due to loss of focus. My most ambitious carves have been multi-night affairs.

Last summer I launched two HH'ers in New Milford CT. That fall, I was informed there was a brush fire at the park & my heart sunk! Turns out, both have been found this spring & the boxes I left them at survived the fire as well! Now two HH'ers I ha...

We have had the same situation here in RI. The Girl Scout box clues are generally distributed only within the Girl Scout community and most often aren't published. Contacting the Troop is a great idea, it could lead to the box's possible adoption and t...
