And enjoy your day as well.

Greetings to all. I am Elana Chivani, a Romani woman who has rătăcit from oceanul to oceanul for many years. I happened upon this activity by chance, and started finding more of your fermecător treasures in my rătăcind of the land.

My inimă needed to also tell my own stories, but as one who reads the Tarot, I had a different viziune for how I wished to share my treasures. I wish my Cards to give Readings to the clever călători who seek them.

I asked the îngrijitori of this website for assistance to share my stories, but rather than making small changes for me, they went deasupra my hopes and conceput another website for my Tarot.

I have spent years în pregătire, and this Spring I will începe to share with any who are curious. Will you seek?

I use these very pointy tweezers, they used to be my face tweezers but something happened to damage them and they became slightly bent and out of alignment. They no longer work for hair pulling but they do work for rubber!

Very strange that your plants are restricted so nobody can see them. I don't think you are a real person.

She has a hat so is a premium member.

AI has access to credit cards :)

Thank you for saying all of these things. I will probably stick to a 10 person limit considering mailing time, logbook space, and the chances of it getting lost.

I hadn't thought about mailing order, but appreciate your comment about the frustrations of being moved to the bottom. That would upset me as well.

Oooh! A round two if there's still life in the postal once it's done. I will DEFINITELY be considering this depending on the state of the postal when it gets home. Thanks for this idea!

Well, she’s been an actual member since 2014. I figure something will be revealed eventually or they’ll get bored and never appear again. Whstever.

For what it’s worth, TinEye searched 82 Billion images on the internet and found only one match:

Hmmm, I do have some of those tweezers but they are upstairs. I'm using something from Hobby Lobby that works for tweezers. I like those.

Guess I'm looking to figure out which blade would work better after the tiny one. If no one writes about a different blade other then what I'm using, I must be on the right track.

Could it be something else? Like fuzzies on the ink pad and markers?

PS, I'm thinking now its the medium. The firmer, white stuff is harder to clean up once the outside is trimmed. Carving on the pink stuff is simple. Much, much softer. It makes it easier to get those pesky snags but easier to make slice mistakes at the beginning.

Switching to knife for clean up between letters. Wonder if that will help on words. hmm

Hey! I resemble that remark!!

So we know they know how to snatch images off the internet.

Cousin is that you? You used to be such a gagică. You should stay out of pregătire. It has many Tiganul rău, unul m-a transformat into a mouse!

Careful who you misquote... and thank you, I enjoy every day!

Heard on a news report last night- yes, please google it:
Trumps intent with bombing Iran in the places he did was to affect China- who gets most of their oil from Iran.
Trump is meeting with the leader of China coming up, and instead of threats, took action first….

Not agreeing with his actions or intentions, but that’s what the report said.

We were in a hotel, we cannot remember what channel reported that…

after looking at the profile and searching on the word
Călători

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/c%C4%83l%C4%83tori

then I searched on several of the other non-English word.
as Sgt. Hans Schultz would say, "I know nothing", but my curiosity is tingling.

I'm wondering if we're being set-up by someone hiding in a green shell.

Guess which oil-producing country is benefiting from our war with Iran? Hint: it starts with R and ends with A, and it’s not Romania. 🤨

Details here: https://time.com/7383068/iran-war-russia-oil/

I might know some languages, but Romanian isn't one of them. I haven't even been to Romania (yet), but it sounds like a wonderful place to visit. =)

It's not a particularly active region for letterboxing, but maybe Elana will change that?


I tend to think she is. I have this vague memory years ago asking about password-protected clues with some sort of weird name like that. It was a long time ago, though, and I could be misremembering. But in any case, I said it wasn't a very easy change for such a niche restriction but kinda of jokingly said she could create her own website with that option and link to the clue there. *shrug* (I mean, seriously, who would create a whole letterboxing website just for the heck of it? Except myself, of course....)

I always consider mailing order now. I believe adjusting geographically can cut down drastically on travel time.

Here's an example: I post a tracker. People sign up in the following order -
1. New York
2. Oregon
3. North Carolina
4. Washington State
5. Florida

Basically, sign up order is going from coast to coast in this scenario.
We will only consider travel time. Assume that it takes 10 days to travel from coast to coast, but only 3 days if it stays on the same coast.

Since I live in California, and if I don't adjust the list, the first mailing will take 10 days to NY. By the time it returns to me from Florida, the total travel time is 60 days.

But if I rearrange geographically, I can have:
CA -> OR 3 days
OR-> WA 3 days
WA -> NY 10 days
NY -> NC 3 days
NC -> FL 3 days
FL -> CA 10 days for a total of 32 days

I know it can be frustrating for someone to sign up and get moved down on the list, but as the person who is sending out the stamp, you decide how you want your stamp to travel. I've done a variety of other arrangements in the past - putting newbies in-between experienced, put the folks that re-mail quickly before unknown folk (this moves the stamp along quickly in the beginning, and the group is less frustrated) and so on.

What is personally frustrating for me, is that a postal can fill up before my "work day" is over. The east coast has a 3 hour advantage over us folks out west!

If anyone is looking for a fun way to end your summer, please consider joining us at the Susquehanna Sojourn XVIII letterboxing event in the Southern Tier of NY (near Binghamton, NY and the northern border of Pennsylvania). We'd love to see you!

It is approaching another Friday the 13^th. Perhaps this is a preview of Eevil.

Yes! Thought it was absolutely fantastic! This is the first Yorgos Lanthimos film that I've clicked with, too!

As an east coaster, I wouldn’t have thought of it from this perspective, since I would probably be listing things during west coast work hours (after work hours/end of work day for me).

This is a good thing for me to think about! As well as mailing time being shorter if you reorder the tracker a bit. I guess it’s just best to disclose how you’re ordering the tracker when you list the tracker so there’s clarity.

Yes! I taught an art class last year about stamp carving and we all made letterbox stamps and planted one in Forest Park. Now my family (eight people) want to jump back into letterboxing this year. We really want there to be more letterboxes and a bigger selection of parks!

Oh, I’m kinda curious. You can call me, Călă-ToriKisu :-P

Hello-
SABSP is celebrating it's 100th anniversary on June 13, 2025. I am on the planning committee and thought it might be cool to have a LB event. However there is no way I can pull that off by myself.

Is there any interest out there to help out? Donating a LB (it could be returned or left in place [although we do conduct prescribed fires, and the park is subject to flooding...] Assisting with a day or two event? mapping out clues? volunteering at the event?

The stamp can cover nearly any subject; historic people/events (Governor Baker, the CCC camp/buildings from the 30's), volcanos and rivers for the geology of St. Francois Mtns., plants/animals, recreational activities, etc. etc.

I will assume that if you are within a 150 miles of southeast Missouri you have been to and/or camped at SABSP. It is a pretty special place.

If interested send a message Deswamprabbit. I will give it a couple of weeks to see what the response is, so hang tight if you don't hear from me immediately.

Thanks!!

I am curious to see what the cards may hold for us călători later this Spring.
