Letterboxing in the news

Recently there's been discussion on the boards regarding an article done by a non-letterboxer about letterboxing.

Finding hidden treasure in MetroWest

I've mulled over the story and watched the video and tried to not let other's opinions sway me regarding it.  I think the author had good intent but poor follow through.  The video made me cringe when I watched it. 

I love to share my hobby with those interested.   I'm trying to find a good way to open others up to this especially business people who may benefit from some extra visits.  I'm also trying to find a way to ask an artist to help with a series I'd like to make based on their work.  

Maine Camping - You Know Its Where You Want to Be

In a little over a week I'll be camping for the second time this summer.  Amazing in it's self that I'm actually going camping. I'm VERY excited for this camping trip to Thomas Point Beach for the Maine Camping letterboxing event.

Every time I check there seems to be more people signed up to attend this event.  I have a feeling it's going to be a tad overwhelming at moments, with lots of people.  Lots of stamps at each site and personal travelers to exchange.  As well as some LTC swaps. Thinking about it makes my head swim.  I don't know how to even record these; a new log book for this event or index cards, or what? Oh My!

I'm taking Mom and the kids (MissMae & JPizzle) to this event.  This will be Mom's (La2lip) first letterboxing experience.

We arrive on Thursday afternoon. Our plan is to set up the site. Do a little meet & greeting. Then go out for supper for sushi & gelato.

Friday is our day out on the town(s) for some local boxes. Hopefully catching up to KK&T on Friday at some point. Pack some sandwiches for the adventure. Lobster dinner that night with clams/muscles & corn. Meet & greet more boxing pals.

Saturday lots of boxing adventures ensue with new boxing pals. Group photo and night boxing.

Sunday we say goodbye to our new boxing pals and go our separate ways. With lots of photos and ink and memories to hold us over til the next LB event.
