Great Weekend for Letterboxing!

Sue and I hit 6 East Hartford letterboxes on Saturday. Today, Sunday, we took friends letterboxing for the first time, Margo & Will. We so enjoyed Waterfalls 3 Series and Above it All by Sadie and Russ. With this clear weather we could see past the Long Island Sound. Thanks to the East Hartford crew, Waterfalls and Sadie & Russ for providing us with some great stamps and locations. When we counted our finds, we learned that we were 1 short of F600 and were going to go out for 1 more after supper - but my first mistake was sitting down !! We'll save that one for another day. Ended up with a total of 14 for the weekend. Hope your weekend was special too.

We have placed a new mystery box this weekend called The Sad Clown. Have fun!

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.
