Oregon Boxes

We've heard a little news on the letterboxes we left in Oregon during our trip there earlier this month. Our Postcards from Oregon #1, dedicated to Amanda from Seattle, was found by the team of Marmalade, Campfire Lady, Maiden, Tooth Fairy and Rico. We understand that a certain trio had been wandering around McMenamin's looking for clues. While we won't mention any names, we offer congrats to those that did find this box!

We also heard that the Logos found our Pioneer Conestoga box. Good work on their part as well.

What are the rest of you doing??? We left a total of 8 boxes on the left coast! Let us know if you find one of them so we can update our page of our boxes. Thanks!

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.
