Turkey Goodies are Cooked & Ready!

Our Thanksgiving Box of the Week is JBean's Dry Bones Series. This series of 6 boxes takes you across a scenic route to cemeteries from Cobalt to Lyme, CT. Approximately 2 hours are needed to complete this series, including stamping time. All boxes are drive-bys but the route passes many box-rich state parks like Hurd, Gillette Castle and Devil's Hopyard. Sounds like a great all day drive!

Our Poll of the Week deals with the frequency in which you find HH's on an average. Thanks to PineTree for this week's poll question. Email us if you have a suggestion of a future poll.

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.
