Pinecone Letterboxing Cruise 2008

We have been adding interested parties to our cruise list like crazy! At last count, there are over 150 interested letterboxers and we have probably another 50 or so friends and family who are interested but do not letterbox. At the end of September, we'll be contacting the cruise line and getting prices.

After prices are obtained, we will open up our special yahoo talk list for cruise participants. This talk list will only be for those that have put a deposit on the cruise and are going. Questions may be asked, plans can be made, mischief will be hatched and the like on this list. Keep your eyes peeled to this blog for pricing and info as it develops. And if you are interested (we will not hold you to a committment until after pricing and deposits have been made) email us to let us know your names and the number in your party.

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.
