Some Pictures from Last Weekend

Check out some pictures I took from last weekend in VT. Once you get to the photo album, you can click on the individual pictures to enlarge them.

Picture 1: From a backyard of a private home next to the parking lot for Spongebob & Friends Series Letterboxes. It's one and a half miles uphill, but coming back is easy!

Picture 2: View coming down the trail, in search of the Quabbin View box, located in New Salem, MA. We will bring a picnic here next time!

Picture 3: The cemetery, located in Old Bennington, VT is down the street from the Bennington Monument and behind the First Congregational Church, where Deanne & Dave and Sue & I had a special moment with a new friend at the grave of Robert Frost. See the entry below with the picture of Robert Frost.

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.
