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!!!"

A New Informal CT Letterboxing Club?


After our group letterboxing hike a few Sundays ago in the Newgate Prison area, I have been the recipient of a bunch of emails from other letterboxers who read these webpages; many asking to be included in the next group thing we do.

As usual - that got me thinking - about an informal group to go letterboxing one Sunday a month in a different part of CT each time. This would give Sue & I the chance to see trails and boxes in parts of the state we might normally not visit, and those letterboxers who are interested, a chance to join us. Also, those that don't like to hike and box alone would have some companionship and gain safety in numbers. Again - this is not a formal club but a chance to do some group boxing in different parts of the state. You could join us one week and miss the next 4 if you like. Attendance is as your schedule and whim permits. We will publish a schedule of places and times and you may join those that appeal to you most.


Hopefully, we can all take turns carving an event stamp for each month. We can start out as once a month, but then make it every other month if interest wanes. Bring your own lunch and we can stop for a pizza or some kind of supper after dark. In the good weather, we use hiking boots and in the winter - we can go to places conducive to snow shoes and cross country skiing.

I can't see the first hike starting until after November 1st. Dartmoor and an October filled with gatherings have pretty much filled our September and October. Stay tuned for more details and please, send us an email if you are interest or have a suggested location or both!
