Letterboxing with Mark & Sue: Finally

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!!!"

Finally - Time for . . .

While Sue was at work this morning, I had a chance to finally get to some much-needed updated info on our site. Our Finds are now complete, as well as our Exchanges, that include all those great MI letterboxers we met in June. New England Area Gatherings have a new entry, the Frightnight at the Fort in Kittery, Maine on October 22.

We've also had a flurry of emails from boxers reporting the first letterbox they ever found. After a month, our Letterboxers First Finds page is current. We now have a new entry for Canada! Come on you guys and gals - there are some states not represented here. Why don't you fix that?

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.
