States, that is!The kids are in definite stay-at-home moods, meaning dragging them out to go letterboxing is practically pointless. Outside, it's that thick pea-soupy, probably gonna rain humidity that makes every step feel like five anyway.
So, I'm on the computer, planning our big summer road trip to South Carolina and wondering how many letterboxes I can realistically get on the way (and still get where we're going). It's a route we've taken before, for the most part, so we probably won't add any new states to our list. I've found that taking our time and meandering a bit on the way there works best. On the way home, everyone is ready for vacation to be over, and they groan every time I mention stopping for a letterbox.
I try to intersperse finding letterboxes and doing things that the other members of the family enjoy. Luckily, there are often letterboxes planted at cool parks and interesting sights. It's a lot of planning work, but it usually makes things easier when we're actually on the road.
So far, we've successfully boxed in 11 states:
Alabama
California
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
Louisiana
Mississippi
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas

Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Missouri, Georgia, New York, Ohio, South Carlina, Canada, and I planted the first box in the Philippines. Unfortunately there was none to find there.
I also hope to hit Delaware and New Jersey here soon.
Oh, gosh, you really want the whole list? California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Hawaii, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Louisiana.
Umm.... I think that's all of them, but I may have overlooked something. =)
We have found boxes 10 states: Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. We have plants that we did in three: TN, KY and PA.
Not too many states for me: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia and North Carolina.
But I do have the only AQ listed box in Wales!
Let's see... I've been boxing in New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, N. Carolina, New York, Washington, and Hawaii. Also in Canada, Japan, Thailand, and Laos (where we planted Laos' first LB)!

You've boxed in California on your way to SC? That really is meandering! Impressively so!
