well the very first time we went out my daughter fell asleep in the backpack while my hubby carried her. we forgot the bugspray and boy were the mosquitos hungry!!! we rushed the whole thing and started arguing because my hubby was being eaten alive. bugs didnt bother me much.
the 2nd time my niece was with me and we had a hard time controlling the baby without a stroller or backpack. we found 1 out of 3 letterboxes.
went to 2 indoor letterboxes with hubby and baby. so fun and great stamps!
went out with my daughter, my sister and her 4 yr old. the location was pretty public. we didnt find it. later I found out the boxes own believes the box is missing.
after that I started going with my nephew The Champion. he enoys Lbing very much and just carved his own stamp. we have been WAY to close to moose twice already within a few days. the expirence left me very paranoid.
I call this home

What is Letterboxing?
Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby that combines elements of orienteering, art and puzzle solving. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogs, on one of several web sites, or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes usually contain a logbook and a rubber stamp. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp on their personal logbook, and leave an impression of their personal stamp on the letterbox's logbook — as proof of having found the box. Many letterboxers keep careful track of their "find count". *Wikipedia*
How to add LB clues to Ipod
I saw this on a thread on atlasquest.com, now I cant seem to find it to check the users name to give him credit. sorry. I finally got this to work on my ipod and now I have 3 clues that are in the same park. Its a great deversion, when you're looking for a box you can stop to read your clue and it looks like you are changing you music on your ipod!!
1. Highlight and copy the clue you want to save.
2. Paste it into textedit, or another word program that can save things in the plain text format(.txt). Save it in the text format. (on a Mac, in textedit, this is under the 'Format' heading, and says, 'make Plain text')
3. Name the file with the town and name of the letterbox.
4. Make sure your iPod is on Manually 'Manage Songs & Playlists' mode. Plug your iPod into your computer. From the 'summary' tab, select "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage songs and playlists"
5. Drag this file into the 'Notes' folder of your iPod.
6. Now it's available on your iPod on the trail! (in the Extras catagory, under Notes)
