Retired

The following boxes were first planned for the 2001 Burlingame Fall Gathering, but may be available at future events.

If looking at me, instead of a tree, a pumpkin you see - just ask for the key to the Pumpkin LB.

Look for me in a small wooden house near where letterboxers meet and greet one another. (He has also been known to hang out under a frisbie or with a bunch of gummy bears.)

This stamp was created for the Mansfield Monster Mash held in October of 2004. It was part of the Who Let the Dogs Out? series. Pete will be carrying it around for a while as a personal traveler for those who were not able to attend that event.

Retired, but hope to replant this sometime soon!

Just look in the gourmet fudge container for a sample of OUR "sweet-toothy recipe"!

Pete so liked the kangaroo stamp that Chuck carved for his F 10,000 party (his actual 10,000th find was a Chuck's "In Search of the Phantom Kangaroos"), that he has decided to carry it around with him as a temporary personal traveler until such time as he decides where to plant it. Meanwhile, all you have to do to receive this stamp is congratulate Pete for reaching 10K!

Even though we basically started the tradition of tabletoppers many years ago with our "Little Dippy", we certainly had no idea that such an item, instead of a rare anomaly, would take over to become almost standard fare at gatherings. So, as a joke against the tabletopper explosion that has proliferated in recent years, we decided to leave a little container of Laughing Cow cheese lying around at a gathering with nothing in it except kitty litter ("Special Kitty" - the kind our cats refuse to use, as opposed to the A&P brand we get when visiting our "A&P Rock"!) Perhaps, very few of the newer letterboxers would even get the joke about tabletoppers that we were implying. However, some industrious soul actually put a tiny stamp that looked like a slightly larger than average piece of kitty litter into the cheese box, thereby turning it into a bona fide letterbox! So you see, the joke was on us and there's no stopping the lengths to which some people will go to collect another "stamp", no matter what it represents!

As far as letterboxes go, this one may be barely hanging on by a hair! However, if you really really want the stamp, just tell us the Polish word for "Christmas Tree"!

Last seen hanging on the Compass Cuties' Christmas Tree!

This could be the only letterbox ever to have gotten blown away by a bitter blast of winter wind, run over by a car right before our very eyes, and still "survived" (albeit in somewhat mangled form!) Here's the clue:

Tired of hanging out indoors in cold, snowy weather?
Just stomp on out to "RI Red" and look by the "left boot"!

This stamp by Blackvelvetrav is just so cute that I probably won't be able to set it free "in the wild", but I'll definitely want it to be accompanying me on trails I still hope to be hiking /re-hiking in the near future. So, if anyone finds me out hiking on a trail somewhere, or perhaps even at a gathering, and can name at least half a dozen different trails from out of the many dozens that I backpacked all around the country in the 1980's and 90's (see "Wanda's Wanda-rings", if you don't have any idea about which ones and how many times!), I will make an effort to do an "impromptu plant" nearby, so that this "little hiking charmer" can be considered a "real find"! ( or maybe just a gathering PT!;-)
