It is possible that a geocacher who happens to know about letterboxing found it and exchanged the original stamp for the unicorn. I've seen this happen at hybrid letterbox/geocache plants that are listed on both web sites.

We have also seen this happen with some Girl Scout troops. I think they find the box is missing, and so plant their own in its place. The “replacement” box might not be listed. Although “Thompson Phantoms” doesn’t sound like a troup name, it could b...

Good morning, Oregon. The weekend is here. Does anyone have any fun planned, letterboxing or otherwise? I'm helping some friends work on a playhouse, and I will probably do some stamp carving. dp

Hid a box today. Found a few boxes. Working on several new series I want to plant and sig stamps for a few new boxers I've introduced to letterboxing lately.

Hi folks, I checked the etiquette and this post seems ok... I am just so curious why people have found my plants, but no one in PDX has gone to find multiple of my husband's (L'Aquasox - I'm more active on here). It's the Drunken Dinos "Series" (not...

I am no where near Portland, but I’ve been boxing since 2000. I took a look at your plant logbook and here’s what struck me right away: The majority of the boxes in this series were planted the last week of July. It’s only the first week of October. Y...

Personally, I do not go out of my way to look for boxes in commercial businesses or libraries unless I know that the staff is aware of the box. I did not look at the clues to your boxes to see if that it the case but it is one thing to consider. I wil...

I didn't know if it was somehow offensive to people that we are referencing drinking Most definitely not. A few years back hartwolfzell started Plant a Beer Day to encourage folks to plant at or near a brewery. The event occurs in April and is currentl...

Something else to consider, in a place like the PNW, many letterboxers will get their hiking done during the summer when the weather is good and save boxes that are inside or drive-bys for the rainy winter months. Or at least, I do that. :-) -Amanda f...

Definitely not due to drinking. Pub crawls have a long standing tradition in boxing in some parts of the country. Boxing overall has slowed down in the Portland area, so I think some people have gotten out of the habit of looking for new boxes. But, th...

Amanda has a great point, as does Warrior Woman. I too have boxes out there that are over a year old with no finds.

In case you haven't heard, I recently hosted an event called Murder In Sleepy Hollow. The park, though small in nature, was perfect for the event but I feared not the best for all of the plants. So, I pulled those I worried would be found too easily by...

Now, we need to know when the next event will be!! No pressure. :D
Board: State: Oregon
Now I need to get down south to find them! Thank you for leaving them for us.

One last thing, (hopefully), the order of this list is the order the boxes were planted. So you look for these, print the clues out in this order. Good luck because the Headless Beast is in a killin' mood. csk

Just planted a limited time Halloween microbox here in Portland, and I'll only have it out for the next week so I wanted to bump it if anyone was looking for some festive boxes It can be a quick drive by if you're short on time, worth a look? https://...

I'd say it again, but he knows I miss him horribly.

Hello Oregon Letterboxing Friends, We find ourselves in an unusual situation right now and we’re hoping someone in Oregon could help us out… My husband & I planted a box in Seattle, WA called From Georgia With Love. We still don’t know at this point...

I'm willing to make a run up there next weekend

Oh wonderful!!! Thank you! I'll send a private message...

Any chance you guys know of a box along the route from Idaho to Sacramento? It looks like it goes through Jordan Valley, Danner, Arock, Rome. I did a search but did not find an Oregon box along that route. I am limited because we are driving with the...

There's a box 35755 named PV in Jordan Valley. http://www.letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=29228

It looks like your route takes you very close to Ontario Oregon? There are 4 driveby boxes there, found in 2018.
Board: State: Oregon
Thank you both for responding! Just got one in Ontario. Yay!

That's great! Thanks for letting us know :) Happy Trails to you!
