What in the Sam Hill???

Seems we've been contacted from the grave! A letterboxer, known by the moniker Sam Hill, has seen fit to email us at the Atlas Quest website inviting us to mention his or her new mystery gathering. Can a ghost use a computer?

Well, in the interest of keeping in good stead with the spirit world, here goes: The mystery gathering is called the Stargazer Consortium and will take place in a mystery location in WA. The date and time is clued as "five days after the first new moon in the sign of the crab!" There are already 16 hardy leftcoasters signed up and ready to star gaze at a mystery location that is "not far from my final resting place."

There - are you satisfied Sam???

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.
