Yeah, AmeriQuest needs a spellchecker. You can save too much that server becomes sever.

Maybe Texas can lasso it and get a monster truck to pull it on over and park it in the Gulf of America.

Firm Kut is specific to Stampeaz - it's one of several materials she formulated and sold specifically for the letterboxing community.

I guess I should be careful of what I ask for!

While my name is not intended to be representative of another country, it's inadvisable to appear pro-Indonesia. So, i will henceforth be dubber YoosaWho!

I just really think the new DEI trailname rules are going to backfire on us. Removing the standard gender binary really makes us look more inclusive.

If we are really going to do this, we might as well do it right. There are too many disparaging conversations on the political boards, there is an LGBTQ board, and we have openly identifying aliens who have letterboxing accounts. This administration would absolutely not approve of us putting effort into making this an inclusive and safe space for anyone who isn't a true patriot.

🤢🤢 is April 1st over?! I can't keep this up much longer🤮🤮

I am also currently reading an obscure Patricia Highsmith book, A Suspension of Mercy, enjoying it so far.

Give us a holler if you stop in Houston! It's on the way.

Crazy! I know the exact one youre talking about ! And uhh ... I have to admit I went on it too :0
My husband side-eyed me the whole time and kept asking "are you sure you want to go on this?"

Yea..... NOOOOO

Thanks for the visual.

{If we acquire Australia, can we move it closer? I would like to visit but what a long plane ride!

Maybe Texas can lasso it and get a monster truck to pull it on over and park it in the Gulf of America.}

Like the way you are thinking - Pretty sure we can do it!

I haven’t started it yet.
But I picked up a Shel Silverstein biography at the library.

I am legal; I have a green card.

And I go back to my home planet one Earth day per Earth year, to fulfill the legal requirements.

I don't know about Gordon Shumway, but he has had more than enough time to also acquire a green card.

As for Mork, he has (unfortunately) left the planet. He was fun to hang (upside down) with.

I'm thinking that Origami Hen needs to be changed. Origami is too Asian and Hen is too gendered. Maybe "Paper Folding Chicken"?

As most of you very quickly figured out, the whole AmeriQuest theme was this year's April Fool's Day joke. I just took some of the more ridiculous (but sadly, real life) news and applied it to AQ from people's obsession with pronouns to the "savings" that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has been posting (including double-counting items and wildly inflating the real amount of money saved) and renaming things that nobody asked for or wanted just to sound more American.

But this was clearly just a spoof. AQ does not get government grants to run, but given the recent chaos in the grant process, it seemed like a good hook to blame all these changes on.

If you really liked the theme, it is still available through your Theme Preferences, and the About page where the changes were announced is still available to enjoy. =)

Wassa suggested renaming the Billboard widget to the "Signal Secure Messaging" app, which I did halfway through the day, but as far as I can tell, nobody ever noticed that and I suspect he's deeply disappointed in you all. Feel free to apologize him and perhaps consider reinstating his $2.13/year salary. That idea alone was worth at least $2.13. ;o)

Sooooo Happyyyy to see
“ATLAS”Quest and Marjorie back !!!

You are so witty- thoroughly enjoyed this one!

wow, I didn't Webfoot still had it available!

This whole thread of conversation is cracking me up!

From one satirist to another, you nailed it!

Good one GT, funny and timely! The banter surrounding it also added to the fun. I even learned a lesson: Being blonde is not for me and I will just be satisfied with my silver hair. After all, I earned every one of them.

It was certainly an “interesting” look for you, Silver Eagle! 🤣

I'm not close to BBNP, but I planted a box on highway 118 which runs between the west entrance to the park and the town of Alpine, TX. AQ #362230, named, appropriately, Big Bend National Park. Just a plug for my lonesome box. :)

If you want a meet up, I'm in Santa Fe, if you are heading up I-25 on your way to CO.

Ya I'm a day late, but my trailname change is too obvious - Old Red White & Blue.

Ooh! The funny thing is in the past I used to plan plan plan and print out clues but with clue tracker my pre-planning is archaic and dated. Until I just figured out that it’s unlikely I’ll have cell service. The printer has been humming away.
Thanks for the heads up!

I’ll definitely keep that in mind, thank you!

Whew, I'm glad I didn't go through with changing my trail name to Trekkie Person!

The current way my search results sort is alphabetically by name of the letterbox. Is there a way to sort alphabetically using the location (that way if the addresses all match up, they get lumped together)?

This is assuming you don't search using the "nearby" way, because I think that will usually lump locations based on distance and thereby lists things "together".
