It's Tuesday!

The weekend is over and we hope you all had a great one. Now it's time to get back to work so put on that Tuesday face - although it is a short week!

Our Box of the Week is the Art Deco Letterboxes by MaryAnn & Scott. These 2 boxes are located in Mountain Laurel Park in Fairfield, CT.

Boxing Poll of the Week relates to the recent discussion on the New Letterboxers Talk List, regarding placing store-bought stamps in letterboxes and the finders reactions to them. Basically - it's the old discussion - bought vs. carved. Weigh in with your opinion below.

Our new Website of the Week honors go to the Cavy Lovers. Find the link to their website 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.
