Letterboxing with Mark & Sue: A World Series!

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!!!"

A World Series!

When Sue & I were in Michigan, Azobox & SpringChick gave us a little preview of their new series, Around the World in 80 Days. This series of 15 letterboxes is available for the first time today, July 4th, and takes travelers around the world without ever leaving the beautiful state of Michigan!

If you complete your tour, you receive a special bonus stamp and another extra special stamp if you complete the series, as the title implies, within 80 days! Wish Sue & I were able to hunt for this series while we were in the Land of Motown several weeks ago. All of the images must be stamped into a special passport that you receive by emailing them and then you are off on your adventure! What a great collaboration by two of Michigan's most prolific and original letterboxers! To begin your travels, or just read a little more about this wonderful project, click the image above.

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.
