Letterboxing with Mark & Sue: Planting Frenzy in MI

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!!!"

Planting Frenzy in MI

Our friend, SpringChick, has been in a planting frenzy as of late. She has planted 4 boxes since Monday! Check out The Case of the Missing Salmon, The Wegaus, The Ghost at Bower's Harbor, and Great Day of Fire. While you are on her website, take your time and look around - this is one smart chick with a flare for carving, clueing and poetry!

Sue & I are anxiously awaiting our June vacation to MI to hunt for some of MI's boxing fare, as well as attending the Great Lakes Gathering on June 18th and finally meeting SpringChick and the rest of the MI letterboxing gang!

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.
