Is there any way I can save a letterbox as a draft? I want to do a series with a fun little story, so I was hoping to make it in advance and add the clues when I get out and hide them. Is there a way I can do this?

Yes -
when you go through the 'add letterbox' process, at the end hit "SAVE" NOT Publish. Then you can go back to the listing under your Plants > Unpublished list to continue editing.

When you're done, select "PUBLISH" and the box/clue will be released to the world.

(I also sometimes just use WORD to craft drafts of clues before I'm ready to plant)

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Word!

I didn’t realize how much I needed the refresher as well. Thank you!

My favorite perk of premium membership is the hat! :)

I got the following message:


So I figured I'd ask if there was anyone in "Central Ohio" would might be interested in taking up this task. =)

Well, I certainly could use some of that and know many others in Ohio who could use the rest--Trailtracker comes immediately to mind as doing workshops and several active folks up NE... if you want to put me in touch with these folks.

How odd the did not reach out to on the board, but I am sure we will miss them, whoever they are!!

When looking at an event page for PT's and event boxes, is there any way to see only those I need? As it is, I have to pull up each one to see if I have a find previously listed. Thanks

So do we, they're a lot of fun.

Yes. If you've run the Event Box search for example, click the Edit Search button at the top of the results. Under Other Options, click Hide My Finds, then run the search.

holy smokes, thank you!!!

Those stories were my gateway into cozy mysteries.

I just started the Flavia de Luce series of mysteries by Alan Bradley. Flavia is a brilliant (genius at chemistry) 11YO girl growing up in post-war England. The stories are told from her PoV and can be quite funny. Would recommend!

You’re always so helpful, Dawnkey!! ❤️

Amanda from Seattle recommended these once. Very enjoyable!

The message wasn't even sent through an AQ account, so I'm not even sure they had an account. Neither the trailname nor email address he provided maps to any AQ account. *shrug*

So if they never created an account, that would be one reason they didn't post to the board--they couldn't!

Anyhow, I'll forward you their contact info and let you handle it from here. =)

Not in Central Ohio but if they decide they'd like to split shipping with me, I could pass these supplies along to PNW Letterbox Club members, especially newbies!

Anybody heard from or seen Greenmountainhiker? I miss them so much and I’m worried.

My family is getting ready to open a camping, hiking, survival, and Smoky Mountain gift shop in Tennessee this March. We will be offering an assortment of classes from survival to crafts to life skills and so much more, taught by a variety of people. As we have the classroom at the store, I thought that it would be great to offer a letterboxing class to share with the outdoorsy people around here. That said, as I will be working the store, I do not know that I can take time to teach the class myself. If anybody would like to teach about letterboxing some time this spring in Cosby, TN (about three miles from the AT), please reach out to me. Thank you.

If you're getting hit by the big storm, what are you doing while you're stuck inside?

The snow is coming down hard here in MA, so I've made logbooks for a raffle donation, and I'll be carving a stamp to make LTCs. I'm also watching the birds at my feeders, hoping something good (like a grosbeak or siskin) will show up. I suppose I should do some laundry, too.

Shoveling snow and doing a few things for GLG.

It hasn't arrived here yet... I read most of the morning. Now I'm planning a mystery plant for an up-coming event. Making Valentine postcards... and then watching the game.

Once we do get snow - mostly tomorrow - I'll be working :)

Yesterday I carved two stamps for upcoming postals. Created the folio for one and will do the other folio today. Hope to carve at least three more stamps today.

My location in north Texas has about 4 inches of snow, sleet and ice. Current temp is 12°, about 30° below our average January high. Hope the Texas power grid holds. Apparently it’s held together with scotch tape and baling wire. 🙄

I'm in CT and also watching the birds at my feeders and my heated birdbath. I'm enjoying the fire in my wood stove. I'm also planning to make a couple of journals today that I can carry with me in case I find a box with a missing, full or damaged journal. I'm also going to order carving supplies. I'm new to letterboxing as of this month and I'm excited to attempt carving.

I've recently noticed that when I add an address for a box I plant in CT that the default County for the town is incorrect (ex. 2 Elm St, Enfield, Capitol Planning Region County, CT - should be Hartford County).

This has affected searches that I run, because if someone's listing defaulted to something like Capitol Planning Region County, then it doesn't show up unless I "Search Nearby".

Is this an issue with Google Maps? Or is AQ doing something funky?

In central Texas everything is closed. We are south enough to avoid bad bad stuff. We have what the weatherman called Frozen Sleet with dangerous temps. Ice is our concern here as the weight builds. Last night we had Thunder Sleet. Never heard of it. Anyway, I am preparing for my boxing days on Maui. Now let’s get this cleared up so I can get outta here in a couple of days.

As will I. Monday is normally an office day, but they've told us to WFH. I'm grateful that I have a job that let me do that.

I'm getting a lot of action today at my heated birdbath, too. My cats are very excited!

Update: There's a squirrel at the birdbath now (4' from the window). The cats jump at the window when birds are there, scaring them away. For squirrels, my boys just look. 🙄

I've been going thru all the desk drawers and storage boxes in my home office. The excuse is that I'm looking for something but really I'm just refreshing the memory cells with what is where. Growing old sucks.
