BROWN EYES GOES LETTERBOXING: DNF infact WAY OFF

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)

DNF infact WAY OFF

so I went LBing with my family. My 2 yr old K, my mom (who has gone LBing with me before and seems to like it.) my dad, my older sister and her 2 kids ages 1 and 4. WOW was that a bad idea. to begin with I wasnt quite sure where I was going. we walked a little while but decide to stop since we really hadnt started to cles right. we were suppose to take a dirt road and we never saw one so I think we were in the wrong place. oh well. we did find a great trail that gave me an aweome idea for a LB that I will probably plant next summer. (maybe I'll make a series.) we all got out for a walk and laughed and took some pics. good times.
