Bluebird & Music Woman Return!

Our CT boxers are back from Dartmoor safe and sound from their whirlwind trip to Dartmoor. Music Woman posted links to her website that has 2 pages of pictures from the trip.
More info to follow in the next few days.

You will notice pictures of Chris and Louise. They are the father/daughter team that we met when they came to the US to interview US boxers for Louise's college dissertation. Louise and Chris will be joining our 13 Dartmoor travelers [The LBNA Bakers Dozen] in September for 2 days of letterboxing, interviews and fun!
Rest up, Louise, we need you to get us to Cranmere!

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.
