land of 10,000 letterboxes

Wow! I was just reading on the letterbox-usa talk list that sometime this afternoon the 10,000th letterbox was placed in the LBNA database! Silent Doug noted that in November of 2002 there were only 2,500 listed. Letterboxing seems to be growing at an amazing rate! I saw that Wanda (famous letterboxer) reached her 5,000th find this past week. Gee - I wish I had time to find 50!

We have to help a friend out in the morning - hopefully we can get that out of the way pretty early. If so, we might take a ride to finally pick up The Watcher. We know where it is, but with all the rain lately, we just haven't been able to find the time to get there!

Here's a silly note: as I was spell-checking this post, spell-checker really wanted to replace the word "letterboxer" with the word "litterbug"! After seeing recent posts about the way some letterboxes have been found lately, I found this pretty amusing!
