Let's Go Letterboxing - the Family Fun Magazine (Disney) that got a whole lot of people interested in letterboxing in 2006 |
|
|
| Discussion Groups and Boards |
| Atlas Quest Boards - a great place to get almost instanteous responses to your questions. Generally a very easy-going, comfortable and friendly environment. The Webmaster is very responsive to problems and questions that arise. |
| Letterboxing-usa - the letterboxing.org discussion group. Can get nasty in there. Flames are allowed. I highly recommend the AQ boards instead. |
| Lbox-announce - sign up to this group to get announcements whenever someone posts a letterbox to letterboxing.org |
| LiveJournal letterboxing discussion group |
| New Boxers - a spin-off of the letterboxing-usa. Flames are highly discouraged. |
| Ontario Letterboxers - Do you crave hidden art objects? Do you like to hunt for (not so buried) treasure?
Letterboxing is the hobby for you. This is a discussion forum for letterboxing enthusiasts in Ontario, Canada.
Let's try to get this hobby off the ground here! |
| Virtual Letterboxing - An online letterbox, with clues that must be deciphered by visiting Web pages. Once solved, a rubber stamp image may be awarded online |
