LB How 2s: Letterboxing.org

       Welcome to letterboxing.org!

I like atlasquest but that’s just me. Both have their advantages.

This is what the site will look like:

You can click on the book, stamp, note book, globe and such in the image which will take you to different places on the site. click on the book it takes you here:

Click on the state of which you will be looking for clues. You DO NOT need to be a member on here to look for clues. After you pick your state you’ll have to pick one of the divided regions. It will give you the box name, who planted it, near by city, and county. Now you just have to sort though the boxes and find the ones near you and what you want to do.
Note: Unlike atlasquest it does not tell if you need a compass or how many finds it may have or the boxes’ status.

However, if you do not wish to sort through the boxes listed you”ll have to sign up. It’s easy. Email, trailname, password and done really. Now that you have signed up go to the letterboxes tab and click on “Search Clues.” Then at the top you can enter an address and it will pull up boxes near by that location.

A lot of times people will post their clues on atlasquest then the will post it on LbNA (Letterboxing North America aka letterboxing.org). They will often times just post the link to the clues on atlasquest and the link takes you there. When you click on the clues and none are listed and only the boxes’ name in blue where the clue should be, click on that because it is the link. People also do the same on atlasquest. They link LbNA to their clue.

That’s pretty much the basics for this site. Oh! It was also the first site for North America. Atlasquest came after letterboxing.org.
