Letterboxing with Mark & Sue: The Pig Did It!

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!!!"

The Pig Did It!

Funhog, the pork behind the Pepe's postal pinecones!

We know why we've been procurring a passel of Pepe pinecones via postal portage! We have confirmation of the deed being done by Funhog from an impeccable source that shall remain nameless - you know how we press people protect our sources!

The Hog did it!

Today the mailman delivered 6 more pinecone stamps and each one from a different State! Our total now is 16 pinecone stamps due to the kindness of letterboxers! Or the snorting of a left coast swine - who still is tops in our logbook!

Thanks to all who've brightened our week and made collecting the mail feel like Christmas!

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.
