We search as a family and the kids enjoy geocaching more because of the trinkets. Letterboxing doesn't thrill my kids although I am hoping to help them carve stamps this summer. <br /><br />I get frustrated with geocaching because of the pointless micros hidden in parking lots. For so many people it is all about racking up the numbers and not the journey to get there.<br /><br />Letterboxing definitely appeals to my artistic side. Recently, I have started making LTC of all my finds, instead of keeping a log book. It gives me something to do during the week while I am waiting for our next outing!Jen Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728342724033395477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672608087396006490.post-10380333421859913112010-06-10T06:26:27.411-07:002010-06-10T06:26:27.411-07:00I do both and love both hobbies. But I can see why...I do both and love both hobbies. But I can see why letterboxing isn't as popular --- to do it right, it's a lot of work, especially if you want to hide a letterbox. First there's the stamp, many people don't feel they are artistic enough to create a handcarved stamp. But there's always the alternative...a commercial stamp. Then there's writing the clues -- how do you tell someone where the box is when it's hidden in a forest full of identical trees? With caching you press the mark button on your GPS unit and your done. Also, I think generally geocaching tends to attract the techie guy and letterboxing seems to attract the arts & craft woman.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836674039750070108noreply@blogger.com
