I've seen articles like the one you shared for other letterboxes/geocaches/scavenger hunts, and we've actually had two geocaches in Portsmouth "deactivated" by police who mistook them for bombs. Oddly enough, many of the police force I've met in the neighboring city are quite familiar with these hobbies. Since letterboxing has become so popular via the web, i guess it comes down to how knowledgeable your local officials are.Ordinary Hikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314727003804531502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-24327522607214082432012-04-10T20:10:55.541-07:002012-04-10T20:10:55.541-07:00We have done several "Web-boxes" in the ...We have done several "Web-boxes" in the National Parks.

I would be mortified if people were frightened, much less evacuated, because of my little box! I have been writing "Letterbox" on my boxes/bags in red. I'd rather have it thrown out than blown up!<br /><br />Yosemite MJDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-12408768687605627372012-04-04T05:01:38.847-07:002012-04-04T05:01:38.847-07:00I had the same thought as the above poster - why d...I had the same thought as the above poster - why don't they just make their own series of boxes?
