Letterboxing with Mark & Sue: A New Holiday Idea!

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 New Holiday Idea!

Leave it to that Cape Cod letterboxing bunch, especially Archimedes Screw, the only Cape Cod boxer we didn't meet at the RI Mystery Gathering. The Screw has planted a new box entitled "Oh Letterbox Tree," for all of those boxers in the holiday spirit. Click on our version of the letterboxing tree above to be taken to the clues for this series of 4 boxes located in South Yarmouth, MA.
Tis the season to be planting!

Update: It seems that you shouldn't be running off these clues until the day you go to get them as new additions will be appearing. As of today (12/4/05) Chunna has seen fit to add a little something under the tree for you. Keep checking these clues for more letterboxing magic!

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.
