Letterboxing with Mark & Sue: Our Monday Goodies

Mark & Sue Pepe hail from Kensington, CT USA.

After finding our initial box in June 2002, we have since found letterboxes in 18 states and placed them in 13 states; 4 countries: Aruba, Bermuda, The Netherlands, Great Britain; and on a cruise ship! Thanks for stopping by our website and we appreciate your continued support.

"Have fun and just get out there & box!!!"

Our Monday Goodies

Box of the Week honors goes to a new letterboxer, Hello From Joe, and his new letterbox, Bikini Bottom Series. While I thought this might be an X-rated series, on further inspection of the clues learned that this new series has a Spongebob Squarepants inspired theme! So no disclaimers are needed!
Our Weekly Poll deals with the inception of our new talklist for New Letterboxers and your opinion of it's formation. Vote away and please strongly consider the last item as your answer!!! ;-) Really, I want you to vote your real opinion!
Our Website of the Week is Azroadie's My Letterboxing Adventures. Find the link in the right column.

What is Letterboxing?
Letterboxing enthusiasts hide and hunt weatherproof containers in remote or scenic places. Each container holds a logbook, a rubber stamp and stamp pad. The planter of the letterbox distributes clues to it's location via the internet, Word of Mouth, on websites or via other means. Clues can be easy to difficult. Finding a letterbox may require a combination of skills such as mapreading, orienteering, and puzzle-solving.

Letterboxers carry their own logbook and personal stamp when hunting for hidden boxes. Upon finding a letterbox, they will imprint their own logbook using the found stamp, and leave their own stamping or personalization in the letterbox's logbook. Some artistic letterboxers carve and even design their own stamps and logbooks. Letterboxes are hidden in various locations throughout the world.

Letterboxing has its beginnings in Dartmoor National Park in England, where the first letterbox at Cranmere Pool was placed in 1854 by a Dartmoor guide named James Perrott, who left his calling card in a container there while guiding tourists through Dartmoor.
