No finds or plants for me yet. I started 2019 with an explosion of carving! I've carved 23 stamps this week and have 10 more to wrap up tomorrow. I hope to do some actual planting in the next two weeks! I'm working with a new carving medium that i...

Interestingly, my sources agree that Saugatuck means "Mouth of the River," but they claim it's from a Potawatomi (indigenous to Michigan) word. The Algonquians live(d) in both Michigan and Connecticut areas. They speak Algonquian languages, so they ma...

Just got back from a last second funtrip with my daughter and her friend to Reno. While making the requisite visit to The Spy Shop (because how could one NOT go to a place called The Spy Shop?), a quick check on ClueTracker showed a letterbox nearby....

A mere paper cut usually suffices ;)

As one would expect, a thorough search of the car came up with not a SINGLE writing implement! No pens, pencils, chalk, crayons, markers, or quills. This girl is gonna make a great letterboxer. Well, if you consider a GREAT LETTERBOXER sometimes forget...

It's quiet .... too quiet!

I agree! I'd like to liven things up by saying that the very first letterbox planted in the U.S. was the Prayer Rock box, but I'm sure that won't generate any discussions.

Too quiet in New England...since September I've planted 11 boxes in three states and not one has been found yet.

It's quiet .... too quiet! Ooooo, this was one of my favorite finds, second only to Rubba Bugga! It would've been my top favorite, but the excruciating noise there was almost painful!!! Either way, both carvings are worth searching out... IF you can d...

Yeah, even plan B of going for some if yours were ixnayed today.

That’s because I’m not boxing anymore:-)

I'd like to liven things up by saying that the very first letterbox planted in the U.S. was the Prayer Rock box I humbly disagree

I agree! I'd like to liven things up by saying that the very first letterbox planted in the U.S. was the Prayer Rock box, but I'm sure that won't generate any discussions. Snopes: WRONG! Correct Answer: The United States Post Office Department began...

That’s because I’m not boxing anymore:-) So true. And now that I think about it, Wanda and Pete have probably found most of them, just not logged them.

I saw a postal worker driving his truck out of a cemetery today! What could he have been doing? Things that make you go hmmmm ...

Dead letter office?

That’s because I’m not boxing anymore:-) But people are still enjoying your plants! :)

I saw a postal worker driving his truck out of a cemetery today! What could he have been doing? Dead letter office? A post mortem?

I saw a postal worker driving his truck out of a cemetery today! What could he have been doing? Was he working the graveyard shift? Maybe he thought his mom was buried alive there and he was trying to letter out?

Jinkies! It’s the Ghostal Postal! 👻

So that's where our lost trackers and postals have been going!

For those of you who have boxes at Bonnie Springs, it’s been sold to a developer. He plans to build 20 homes and a motel while “keeping the land as natural as possible” but no plans have been released to show which boxes will be in peril. I assume all...

For larger baggies we use ZipLoc freezer bags because they're tough. For smaller baggies we use craft bags because they're cheap. The other day in a Wally World I found another type of tiny baggie, a pill bag sold in the pharmacy area. It looks to b...

I'm currently in a micro-postal ring; a postal sent in a regular letter envelope. I have done regular postals (the Mystery Postals in particular) and LTC trackers. I like these kinds of letterboxing because, especially during the winter, there isn't...

It looks to be about 2" x 3" but the closure is along the long side rather than the short side as on craft bags. It also has a place on it to write on it. In a package of 50 it comes out to less than three cents per baggie. That's what I use as spare l...

It’s not just the weather, it can be lack of available boxes in general. We have found all of the (few) physical letterboxes in our area and all of the ones in the surrounding areas. The Central Valley of California is kind of a no-man’s land of letter...

A while back I ended up with a slew of these pill baggies. Being the letterboxer at the time in the house they were given to me with the thought that I might be able to use them. One of the projects I did with them was make some hitchhikers like this o...

When I first started letterboxing, my kids were young, and we had just moved to NY due to my husband's job. It was a new place that we wanted to explore and we knew we would only be there for a few years, so letterboxing was great for that, and NY is...

used to until postal rates became so high and too many were ending up in black holes... I do LTCs when the stamps warrant it - but hardly ever join a swap. While we don't do lots of winter boxing - we do some - and I carve for many events in the futur...

So, so jealous! I’ll make it there one day... and I expect a guide when I do! 😁
