Yes, people can always see boxes that they have some sort of credit for: owner, planter, lister and--yes--carvers.

You can't restrict a box from people who participated in it's creation!

At the Vermont one today - a crew member let it slip and said “Boston”

How long did you wait, did you get a idol, like a little token or something as a souvenir?

thats great, but now I am not sure if I want to stand on line with 400 people...lol

Feeling the hug, I think we need more hugs now then ever before.

Thanks; that explains it!

We got at the location 4 minutes before the event started, there was already a line of cars, we were told to come back in 30 minutes, they would let more people in as people left. (We had to let the dogs have a potty break anyway - after 1.5 hour drive). When we got back to the location at 10:30 there was still a line. As a car or 2 left, they let a car or 2 in. We got up to parking by 10:45, had to stand in line, get a picture taken - DID NOT GET AN IDOL TO TAKE HOME.

Just a picture with one hanging off of a log tripod, that I didn’t even see until my husband told me after I came out of the building from scanning the QR code to register.

There were so many missed opportunities! It wasn’t very organized, no real hunt, and you would think they would have had a table for selling merchandise. Not that I would buy anything, but tons of people were there with merch on. We left the location by 11:40.

I talked to a network representative who was in line for the bathroom with me, and when I expressed that as a fan and letterboxer that it was overall disappointing, we expected a real hunt following clues… she said “being that it’s a contest, they had to make it ADHA compliant.” Still could have been. CBS & Survivor needs a Letterboxer to help them with these things! 🤭

I love hugs xxx

Sounds like an ordeal. Once the Boston one hits, maybe I wont go on the first day. Ill wait till near the end, just to check it out.

I have no desire to win the contest, but it would be nice if they gave a little trinket for 'finding the idol'.

i agree, I read some clues from other states and even if I never been to that state, they are pretty easy to find with a google...lol


Its not that hard to write clues and keep it ADHA compliant. I agree, they need a letterboxer to help them. you should of offered, who knows, might be side gig for ya...😉

That is why we Northeasterners have Yak-trax and mini pry bars in our backpacks......

Well, I don't anymore since I moved south, but we boxed in all types of weather!

BB

I totally do that here in Florida.... "Responsible." Yes, being responsible. *nodding. (For me, I do it for the gag factor.....).

BB

I will make you one Memere. Didn't hear back from my response.

BB

Check your AQ mail please.

I miss watching snow...... However, I am carving stamps here in FL to be planted later this week, and carving for L&B too!

BB

Maine clue just dropped today... not as easy. Only can get there by ferry (at the cost of $52 pp, round trip), and this one you have to be there ON TIME, and stay for the duration. Not ADA accessible. This one might be less crowded! (cost and time frame.)

From Clyde’s quiet harbor, leave mainland behind,

First named by Samoset before English claim,

One roadless village, though none bears its name.

Know Before You Go: Outdoors, approximately 4 hours.

Begins promptly at the scheduled start time. Late arrivals may not be able to participate. Once underway, participants must remain with the experience until it concludes. Dress very warm. Uneven terrain with possible rain, ice, or sleet.

Not ADA Accessible.

According to Google maps, a road trip for me would be 3,310 miles to Are You A Faithful! A mere 49 hour drive. Of course, I could fly - that would only take 11 hours. le sigh...

One of these days I'm going to take a trip to the east cost where all the boxes are.

ouch...

Its about a 3 hour drive from me. Not to bad. Its one of those 'how many boxes can I find in the area before it gets dark?' trips...lol.

The reason I started this darn thread so we can discuss each episode, but then realized it would be all spoilers. ughhhhh.......

I do use the BBC app where the 'gamers' talk about the episode in live time. (mostly survivor and BB players) That's always fun to read along as they go.

I always love the inside scope. I'm nosey that way.

Soooooo, Jimmy…….I watched Dr. No and it was fun. So funny because it’s so dated. I got a kick out of it.

But I tried to watch the second one, From Russia With Love and got annoyed about the totally unnecessary Gypsy belly dancer (that went on FOREVER) followed by a totally unnecessary cat fight between two busty, hair pulling Gypsy girls so Bond, James Bond could pick a winner and obviously go to bed with both of them, though that was implied. No one is actually having sex in these early ones. You just see before and after. Lol Did they later? I dunno. lol

I might give Goldfinger a look. 👀 lol

The way most message boards that I frequent address this issue, is to title the thread thusly:

The Traitors TV show thread - OPEN SPOILERS

That way if one clicks on it and get spoilerd, it's on them.

ETA: Have you watched Boston Rob's Traitors podcast? It's pretty good... as those things go.

Warning: it's for ep 4 of the current American season - massive spoilers ahead.

I’ll have to put ice trax in my pack. I’ve been on some hilly trails that are covered in ice. Already carry a small ax to hack at the ice or frozen ground to access a box. Never thought of the biological means of melting frozen ground…haha.

......One of my all time favorite movies just showed up free on Netflix!! Amazon is still charging for it.

Oh gosh, I just realized why Netflix added it. Catherine O'Hara passed away.
She was only 71. :(((

It's on Netflix?!?! I had this baby on DVD lol

The Martian is one of the few that does a great job as book and movie!

Having showed dogs for 25 years I just love this movie! it is truer than you know! Today (Feb 3) the Westminster Kennel Club show is going on in NYC. This is probably the most prestigious dog show in the United States. It concludes at Madison Square Garden tonight and is televised.

One of my favs, as well, as was Catherine O’Hara. As a funny side note, one of my best friends shows afghan hounds and showed her winning-est dog, Louis, last night at Westminster, in the Legends showcase. We were in NYC to see them over the weekend. And we went to Westminster the year Louis won Best of Group and competed in the final seven for BIS. It is such an iconic atmosphere, and lots of characters, just like the movie!

Due to Webfoots devastating house fire, has anyone found carving material similar to the white stuff that she sold? It was the best thing ever and I need all the help I can get when trying to carve. Thanks.

Throwing in a hundred more hugs. 💙💙💙

I love the dog show. I always try to watch it if I know it’s on. Or I’ll catch a re-run of it. I especially love the hunting and herding dogs.

There’s a guy in Scotland with a YouTube channel. I love watching his dogs herding the sheep. There’s one of a “puppy” just learning. Great dogs!

Fantastic movie! NMRK and I just had a memorial viewing of A Mighty Wind and we'll probably throw on Waiting for Guffman in the next day or two as schedule allows.

Catherine O'Hara was just freakin' iconic in about everything she was in! Queen of Improv!
