Traditional Boxes

We are quite fortunate to have letterboxer hiders in this area that carve their own stamps. You can tell that all the hiders put a great effort into each stamp. I won't be commenting on the carvings. I will note if the box contains a commercial stamp. Not that I don't like commercial stamps - I especially like commercial stamps that fit the theme of the box or location. Carved stamps are treasured for their personal one-of-a-kind artistic nature.

*I am currently adding comments about recent boxes I have found to the homepage. This chart will not be updated.

margs by margs Guelph ON active Adopted by me. Active. Drive-by, only feet from the car. Micro. Near a playground <apologies to those who hate these kinds of hides but after adopting the missing box I couldn't find a better local hiding spot. The original hide was out in the open>.

but you'll probably leave him in the car. It's a very quick find.

the area is bike friendly, but you won't need a bike to travel to this one.

probably best to get this one in the winter or at night when the muggles are indoors
