I got some old photos developed last week and on one of the rolls was pics of the very first letterboxes we found. My family has a camp in Pocahontas Co. WV and we have been vacationing out there for the last 35 years. So, I am very familiar with the area. Droop Mountain Battlefield and Beartown State Park were close by, so those were the boxes we sought first. That was back in 2005. Looking back at my logbook, I see that we went over a year before finding another box, but after that we've been hunting. This year is when I've really kicked into gear, especially since I've learned that I can carve stamps fairly well.
We went to my family reunion in Coal Grove OH this past weekend and I took the opportunity to place a box there, with our family crest image for the stamp. I hope I have lots of finders!
