Spring into April Drive a Huge Success!

Despite the threatening and rainy weather, over 30 hearty letterboxers from 4 states showed their mettle by meeting at 9am at Roaring Brook Park in South Glastonbury, CT. 18 debut letterboxes helped make the day for all. Special thanks to MayEve and Wild Rover for a well-organized event. Our "back door friend," RTRW, allowed us all to rest and eat at her wonderful home mid day and we so appreciate the warm spot and the hearty welcome. Some pictures highlighting the day's events can be found here. After some dinner and downloading, Sue & I are ready for tomorrow's May Day Gathering!

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.
