Letterboxers & Geocachers Unite!

I haven't letter-boxed much this year. However, on Friday I took a quick day trip to Ilwaco, WA (SW corner of Washington state) and found a couple before flying kites and playing at the beach. Totally fun! Also went to a huge Harry Potter-themed meetup near Seattle in July with my mom. I'm seeing more and more good carves on the trails and that makes me happy.

Thanks for posting in this thread!

Wow, I hadn't realized that I had not posted here in a year. Thanks Cara and Jelli for reminding me!

Cara, thanks too for posting about letterboxing. We've rarely run across cache-letterbox hybrids, buts it's unique when we find them.

Well, I've been caching a bit more this year. Passed 300 a while back, added several more states to my map, and have taken up biking local trails to cache. It certainly breaks up a 10 mile bike ride when you get to stop frequently.

A couple weeks ago I found a pretty unique cache...someone had added a block of wood to a fence (to match all the wood on the fence) and the inside of the block was hollow. I don't even know what made me think to wiggle the block. I had all but given up. What a surprise.

What does everyone think of the geocaching challenges? I did the pick up 10 peices of litter one but I think the other ones are kinda silly.

I haven't done any challenges, but pretty much CITO everywhere I go. There's a challenge for that?

Have you been to any geocaching events or gatherings? There seem to be quite a few locally, but again I haven't attended any yet.
