Or paranoid.

You are being paranoid. And could you slide over to the left just a bit, we can't see what you are typing!

In Portsmouth NH- a box called The Friendly Toast in the restaurant of the same name. I see that it's now listed as "unknown" but there's a comment left by the last finder indicating where they found it...so who knows? It's quite the unique place!

Oh! It doesn't say we can enter a NUMBER under Record Find, so I never use it.

If they are from a tracker, there is a Save Finds button at the top of the tracker page. It lists all the cards all nice and simple. The bad thing about logging this way is that if the planter has a message in the clue you can't see it/know about it.

Ever since the last upgrade on atlasquest, I have been unable to open on my
MacBook pro, although I can on my android tablets. So I have to use chrome for my mac. Not a big deal.

As Ryan has mentioned,

you should still be able to type in a date, but type it in the format of YYYY-MM-DD.

This works when I am on my Apple laptop using Safari. My iPad has a scrolling feature (choose Month, day, year).

I usually use Chrome these days.

Geocaching has a permit system is several states. Those state parks require a fee - some as high at $50 per box! And they are only good for a couple of years!

I still follow the rules from when I started in 2002:
1- plant anywhere.
2- don't get caught.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that's still mad about that ~snickers~ . Most letterboxers plant more respectfully than those state letterboxes are hidden.

This works when I am on my Apple laptop using Safari. My iPad has a scrolling feature (choose Month, day, year).

Like I said, older versions of browsers won't have the scrolling features. All of the newest browsers--including Safari--should support it. You might check if you can upgrade your browser on your Apple laptop to something newer because newer browsers are just better in general.

But if all else fails and you can't upgrade for some reason, they should still work. It's just not as pretty! But it is important to write the date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. Americans probably try to write the date like MM-DD-YYYY (or something similar like MM/DD/YYYY) while the rest of the world writes them like DD-MM-YYYY, but computers like YYYY-MM-DD. You'll likely get an invalid date error if you try to use a different format.

If you have the card # you don't even need to select "LTC" when searching. The number will automatically pull up whatever the box # is to. Works for any type. Doesn't help much when you have my cards though, I almost always forget to add the # to them😳

Updated information regarding LBNA #21344-The Great Pezzy Road Show-boxes here in Maine. The Chief and Raven Pez are both retired. I didn't see any way to update on the LBNA site since I'm not an admin or anything. Happy Haunting Ghost Pez is still alive (?) and welcomes visitors. Thanks to all who visited the other two during their existence.

West Virginia state parks have sanctioned Geo Caches. I have thought about asking them to add letterboxing. You are required to explain how to find the Cache and get a yearly renewal to maintain it.

Many years ago, someone gave instructions on how to re-moisten dried markers. My mom's just gotten into cardmaking, and we pulled out some LTC-making supplies, including Marvy markers that have been in storage for yonks*. We were amazed that they still work...somewhat. I need to know how to wake them back up. Help, please?

Safari - Version 11.1 (11605.1.33.1.3)

I *think* this is the most recent version but I'm not sure. I've been logging a lot of finds with no issues until yesterday. But I am always logging on the same day as the find, when I get home so the current date was there. I had to make a correction yesterday so discovered the issue.

I guess I'll just use Chrome to log finds.
