We Have A Winner!

Mystery Box Planting Day will be October 7!

Thanks to all who have voted during the initial poll and the recent runoff that ended at noon last Friday. So get your boxes ready and clue them as a mystery. Don't forget the tagline: "Part of the Mystery Box Planting Day."

The Green Tortuga has even put October 7 on the new Atlas Quest 2007 calendar so it looks like this might be an annual event!
Now get out there & plant!!!

Please Note: The current poll results may show a different result than October 7. In my haste to get to VT last weekend, I forgot to take down the poll and people have continued to vote since the noon Friday deadline. October 7 was the clear winner by some 12 votes at the pre-announced deadline.

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.
