Boxing, Boxing and More Boxing!

With the coming weekend, Sue & I have plans to hit some of MayEve's and Wild Rover's East Hartford, CT boxes on the way to visit friends on Saturday. This sister/brother team have been carving and planting in East Hartford since the beginning of this year. It's time we check them out!

On Sunday, we are taking friends from church on their first letterboxing excursion. Our destination is Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden, CT - letterboxing mecca for southcentral CT! There are over 35 letterboxes planted there but we are being very realistic!
Regardless of what you do this weekend, the weather promises to be amazing so . . . have fun and just get out there & box!!!

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.
