Letterboxing with Mark & Sue: MayEve & Mysteryboxer make our Day!

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!!!"

MayEve & Mysteryboxer make our Day!

We got home from work tonight and found MayEve's Book of Kells Postal Letterbox awaiting us. What a wonderful job she did on this box - I don't want to spoil it for anyone who might have signed up for it - but she used a great amount of creativity and thought behind this one!

After supper, Sue & I decided to attempt another of the mysteryboxer's letterboxes and finally found it! This is the same box that Butterfly and I went searching for 2 weeks ago. That time I only found poison ivy . . . this time, I found the box!!!

Thanks to Mandarin & Oakman for emailing us that they recently placed a new letterbox to be added to our I-95 Letterbox page. Their contribution is in Fredericksburg, VA and it's called Walk the Dog.

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.
