Hi there! I used to go Letterboxing back in 2012 and I have some stamps that I was wondering if someone could identify for me? I’d like to write down the titles into my notebook. They are all from the Twin cities area. Thanks!

Describe each stamp (width & height) and the image. There are enough of us that have been around since 2012. We'll help!

Go to the Letterboxes Column in the Toolbar at the top of the Atlasquest Page and choose Simple Search. Do a Place Search for Minneapolis-or St. Paul--and only look at the ones planted at the appropriate years (2012?)

1) Looks to be a fox with a lantern.

2) Looks like a troll under a bridge.

3) It’s a framed tree that’s growing on a cliff.

4) Hibiscus Flower

5) A round one that reminds me of a letter V.

6) A football and second stamp is Go Vikes. I think I know what this one is.

7) Clover with the Popes hat.

8) Is another flower but I’m not sure on the type unfortunately.

9) Albert Einstein

I’m unfamiliar with this board. If there’s a way for me to post photos I can take a few as I’m not the best with descriptions. Thanks for your help!

Please don't post pictures of the stamps on AQ. Spoilers are frowned upon. If you want to, email privately with the people who have offered to help. That would be a better approach than showing other people's stamps in a public forum.

I’m still looking to identify 3. 😁

1) It’s a circular stamp that has what looks like a fancy letter V or maybe part of a pulse/heartbeat almost.

2)Shamrock with a staff and pope hat.

3) Flower, I’m thinking it’s a Lily of some kind.

Thank you to everyone who attended the class. It was wonderful to meet you and I look forward to seeing out on the trails in the future.

I have posted all the stamps that you found at the class. If you need assistance finding the ones at my campsite let me know. You can sent me AQmail by clicking on the envelope by my name or reply to this message.

Happy Trails!

The Blue Sun Soda LB is gone - a victim of road construction.

I love that store! I will *have* to carve another stamp and find another hiding spot.

I know someone who works there. He is just the sort of person who would appreciate the idea of letterboxing. I could ask him for an indoor planting place for you?

I've never seen mesh bags, but I have used the suet cages you find at pet feed stores. They work good and disappear in the greenery of the trees.

they make them.

I use suet holders that I get cheap from Fleet Farm, and alter them to what I need. The bags get sun rot pretty quickly.
