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!!!"

Dartmoor Trip is Soon!

Sue and I are starting to get excited about our England trip. Our group, The LBNA Baker's Dozen, leaves for Dartmoor on September 17 - only 11 days left! We are bringing some great HH's from some of the best carvers in the country. We want to show the Brits how we Yanks can carve up the old stamping rubber! Thanks to all who have participated. A few of these HH will remain on the Moors, the balance will be returned to their creators and you may be able to search for them in October in a box near you!

Please be advised that during our trip - September 17 through September 25, there will be no postings to this website. But stop back shortly after that as we plan on a very extensive commentary with photos related to our trip.

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.
