Spring Drive in the Works!

Wild Rover & MayEve have just floated a test post on the LBNe Talk List, inquiring about interest in an April Boxing Drive. Judging by the enthusiastic responses already, it looks like it will happen. The two Saturday dates being discussed are April 23 or 3o. The plan is to pick up on some of the letterboxes that the first Winter Drive missed and add some additional Hartford County boxes - including a special series to commemorate Krusty Krab, Wild Rover's daughter, who will be celebrating her 6th birthday in April. This 7 or 8 box series will be entitled "The House of the Mouse."

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.
