Honestly, one of my boxes is like that. Few finders in an otherwise very populated area...and nearby boxes get way more traffic. This one rarely gets looked at. Not for difficulty or length or anything. No idea. It's been out there for 6 years and less than a handful of finders. Tried changing the address several times to be clearer but no dice. Just accepted it at this point.

Duh!! something so simple. thanks for pointing me in the right direction. ;-)

Upstate SC!

Charlotte area here. Make today a good one!

Congratulations, Bebo Bear, on your Box of the Week! Well deserved for that amazing carve.

Is he serious?

The first half of his 'addressing the nation' speech, he starts with his old broken record rant...its Biden and the Dems fault on what is wrong with the country.

Then the second half he just lied and lied about what he had accomplished.

In what reality is this man living in? I cant believe what I just saw. I was watching with my jaw on the floor, I have never seen anything like it.

Then we have Trumps 'Presidential Walk of Fame’ with his plaques that read like his typical tweets with bad English and bad punctuation. At first when I saw it on Twitter I just assumed it was 'fake', then came to learn he actually really did this.

There is something seriously wrong with this man.

Plus, if that wasn't bad enough, he popped on during the finale of survivor. There is no excuse for that. The nerve.

I give you a lot of credit for watching, Riggs! The sound of his voice is like nails on a chalkboard, so I read the transcript instead. That was bad enough.

Also, his post about the Reiners was extremely disturbing. Someone really needs to set up a dummy account for him so that his vicious and deranged posts never see the light of day. He probably wouldn’t know the difference, and our country would be more respected. I’m talking to you, Susie Wiles!

This strikes me as redundant.

When I heard that he was giving an address, I sincerely doubted that he had anything useful or remotely interesting to say. He just likes attention and with his poll numbers cratering, I figured he was desperate to get them back up thinking this would do the trick. But I also figured he'd do his same song and dance. Complain about everything bad not being his fault and take credit for anything good whether he was involved or not and a colossal waste of time for anyone who decided to tune in.

For me, the Cliff Notes is sufficient. If it did turn out that he actually had something important to say, I could always watch the "re-runs" later on YouTube.

Little Foot... you've made a wonderful addition to our Maine family! So glad you joined us 6 years ago!

It is being referred to as the "Pettysburg Address". People are saying so.

We Tivo'd survivor knowing that it would pre-empt part of the show and watched Thursday.

Were those people “big, strong men, with tears in their eyes, saying sir, there’s never been such an address in the history of the world?” It seems that there are lots of big, strong, teary-eyed men in Trump’s orbit.

Yahoo Little foot, congrats on your AQVERSARY 🎂! Totally agree as a great addition to the Maine family!

Moving from Texas to Alabama, I think we've just switched from Bloviating Toady politicians to Simpering Toady politicians. Endless amounts of "Hugs, we understand" to you.

🥳🥳Happy Cake Day!!!🥳🥳

Well, where did those 6 years go to? Flew right by! Get inky when the rain stops, and happy day to you!

lol....I had no choice, it just popped on during Survivor.


. Very disturbing, the man has no filter. Cant even imagine how the Reiner family dealt with that.

Talk about disturbing, how about him changing the name of The Kennedy Center to the "Trump-Kennedy Center".

Maria Shriver had a lot to say about that, and she wasn't a happy camper.

Welcome to the most fun hobby!

I have lots of older LTCs (some probably around 15 years old) that were passed on to me by another boxer. It must not have been common for the AQ number to be included on the back when these were made. So, fair warning that most do not have the AQ number on the back. Many can be looked up by tracker or trail name. Would anyone want me to send them some? If so, please send me a message instead of posting to this message. That way I don’t worry that I miss someone’s message.

Welcome to letterboxing.

Love your name and sigi Stamp.

I like to follow this guy, Steve. He goes to some interesting places. In this video, he discovers what looks like to be a bear canister with a set of numbers in it. I don’t believe it’s a plant by Steve. But these days, who knows. What’s the Mystery of the Mojave!?

Link to video (skip to the 11:00 minute mark if you are impatient).

Any ideas?

If anyone is interested, I'm selling a copy of the 1998 Smithsonian Magazine that has the "They Live and Breathe Letterboxing" article in it. As most here know, that article is widely seen as helping to usher in the hobby into the USA. The magazine is in very good condition and as they say, "It's a must have for any true letterboxing devotee.." Whoever "they" is... lol. This magazine is getting harder to come by nowadays. If you search on eBay for "Smithsonian Magazine Letterboxing" it should pop right up. If there is interest I have another copy that I may list as well. I'll be donating the proceeds to my local humane society where our last several cats have come from.

Well I sort of solved the mystery:

However... why!? It's not viral marketing, not enough people see it. As one of the comments read, who ever put it there is legend!

I am not so sure that is the solution. Maybe I am looking at it wrong but if you write the letters under the numbers the numbers are 1 short and 11 seems to be an e, an r or an n

I’ve watched few of his videos. I haven’t seen that one.

It's true that many super-old LTC's don't have AQ numbers, but I have had pretty good luck logging most of the ones I've received by using trail names and the name of the card if they've included those on the back-it's worth a try!

In celebration of Survivor Season 50, CBS is hiding 50 immunity idols (one in each state). Clues will be available January 30th.

I think as letterboxers, we might have a leg up on this competition and I would love to hear if someone here finds one.

Excellent. I will let you know what I find in Alaska.
