Here's a question that'll likely get a variety of reactions….but here we go: What are recommended responses to encountering dog(s)on the trail? Here's the...
- The dog knows you aren't a dog person so he's sticking it to you. Bring your knee up to your chest so it gets him in his chest. This is to protect you and...
Maybe i'm naive to the ways of off-leashing it while hiking (i'm a city-type who has dogs only in populated areas), but I find it completely rude of the owner...
... fun... we went to find the "fab four" in Essex last week and couldn't seem to find the "castle rock" or the "geodetic marker" boxes.. any more clues? ... ...
I have had the same problem several times while out on the trail -- on trails where dogs are supposed to be leashed and often are not. I cannot tell you how...
Hi, I didn't see your personal address in the Letterbox group so I hope this will reach you. I went to the "I'd Rather Be Letterboxing" series today. The...
I had a dog jump on me once while letterboxing. The area was clearly marked dogs must be leashed. I was walking down the trail when I heard a barking dog...
I am another dog owner/lover who agrees with the knee to the chest and a loud "OFF!" (or down - my dogs have always been taught off when it comes to jumping...
Do any RI letterboxers meet up on a regular basis? I joined www.meetup.com and I'm now the only member of the RI letterboxers group. For those who aren't...
Friends of ours lost, quite literally, their unleashed dog while hiking in the Berkshires. Can you imagine the sense of guilt and grief this engendered? He...
Dog owner/lover/former trainer here! This is a very sore issue for me, as many of you know, so forgive my revisiting this. I've said it before and I'll say it...
Hi Webmasters, I'm concerned that letterbox "Fish-or-mans Personal Traveler" is back on the website again!!! I'm not going to click on it again and find out...
Hi everyone...I've been plotting and planning while awaiting my stamp carving kit and I've searched and scoured the web for whatever examples I could find. I...
Hi Tara, It's funny...I asked this very same question when I first started on this talk list. I got a bunch of helpful responses, but I'll just speak for...
I've done both. I tend to find in my mind, and this does not apply to everyone I am sure, that the stamps that I carve, where I am not carving in "inverse"...
I recently received a shipment containing a Blender Pen and off I went to test it out. All I can say is WOW! Following the procedure that came with it...
... Sharon, MA on Sunday, June 27 from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. for the second annual Moose Hill Gathering! We are hoping to see some familiar faces and perhaps welcome...
I found both the Castle Rock and Geo marker boxes last week. Have to go back for Split Rock and The Gap boxes since I didn't go far enough on the trail (I ...
This post has almost nothing to do with letterboxing. ... This isn't a virus. It's someone trying to fool you into clicking "Yes" so they can send you to a...
... Go for it. Lots of stamps out there are inverse stamps. (Actually, I like to call them 'negative image' stamps, but that's just me.) In some ways,...
Steve, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to check out the blender pen/Xylene method of transfer. And I thankful for the heads-up to all lboxers...
To all in LB land, Today we did a quick hike to "Boulder Rock" to check up on the condition of our letterbox. The main problem is that the box is hidden...
Thanks to everyone who has responded so far to my inverse stamp carving question. I've decided what I'm going to do about my dilemma: carve my stamp both...
I've done some experimenting with inverse stamps. Some with better results than others. I agree with Ryan that in some ways it requires more artisanship to...
I have been reading these posts and want to put in an earnest pitch for leashing your dog while hiking. It is thoughtless at best and dangerous at worst, to...
Hi northeastern North Carolina and Norfolk, VA letterboxers, I am making a trip to Elizabeth City NC for a week. I would love to meet some of the east coast...
I too had trouble. I clicked on the personal traveler about a week ago and lucky for me my virus scan warned me of a virus and I was able to avoid any...
