I was re-reading some of the logs on one of our letterbox hybrids and had a good laugh at one of last year’s comments:

10/10/2011Me and my friend decided to go find it letterbox style. We were wondering where it was till we realized it was the trail we go through every day! We found it, and I told him to hold the lid for me. Turns out, there wastext on the lid and it freaked my friend out sooooooooo bad cause he never went letterboxing before and didn’t know what to expect.It was aloud the lines of “You found a LETTERBOX. Letterbox is a sickness. If there is ink on your hands, it is too late. There was ink on his hands,and he freaked. I decided to have some fun with him and made him dunk his hands in the river. I then told him it was fake and we laughed.
This is the message on the inside lid of the box:
You have found a LETTERBOX.
Letterboxing is a sickness.
If you don’t already have this affliction,
close this box immediately and put it back where you found it, well hidden.
Wash hands immediately after use.
If fingers are inky prior to box usage, it’s already too late.
Seek another letterbox immediately.
Ha! Good stuff. Have to like it when people have fun with it!
Hilarious. And absolutely true. I was a geocacher that accidently found a letterbox, and that was a little over a year ago. I’m totally hooked.
