A Wicked Surprise!

Yesterday, Sue & I went to see the musical, Wicked, at the Bushnell with the Schmoopies. We totally enjoyed the play and dinner afterwards. Fun to see this totally opposite version of the events that took place in OZ!

Well this morning, I received an email on Atlas Quest from the Pointer Party of Manchester, CT, asking how we enjoyed the play! Seems they recognized us and were sitting 2 rows behind us yesterday at the theatre! Looks like letterboxers also clean up now and then and take to the cultured inside instead of the woods! Even when we try, we're never too far from letterboxing!

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.
