How I got into letterboxing: In May of 2005 someone told Ryan about letterboxing. He, in turn, told me. We instantly got into it. We carved our personal stamps, purchased log books and went to find our local boxes. There weren't many at the time and there are even less now. We even planted 3. Two of which instantly went missing. The third was pulled because the area was being renovated. Then we moved to DFW. After we got settled, we started boxing again.
After a while, Ryan stopped boxing and so did I. But I got back into it again for a little while then stopped again. Then I introduced boxing to my BFF. This got me permanently back into the hobby. She, in turn, told her sister and mother about it.
My habits: I box mostly in spring. By the time summer arrives, I don't box as much because of the heat. When fall picks back up, it's difficult for me to box because I focus on work so I haven't got much time.
My trail name: My current trail name comes from a screen name that I've been using since 2003: Strawberry6703. The first part (strawberry) is pretty obvious. I love strawberries. The 6703 is the day of Ryan's and my wedding anniversary. My previous trail name, Tiny Dancer, came from the fact that I'm ridiculously short and was in dance classes at the time. Since the move to DFW, I no longer took dance classes and decided to let that trail name go. Tiny Dancer is now a personal traveler.
