Mark & Sue Pepe hail from Kensington, CT USA.

After finding our initial box in June 2002, we have since found letterboxes in 18 states and placed them in 13 states; 4 countries: Aruba, Bermuda, The Netherlands, Great Britain; and on a cruise ship! Thanks for stopping by our website and we appreciate your continued support.

"Have fun and just get out there & box!!!"

So Where's the Rest of the Dartmoor Diary???

Some of you have written; some of you have wondered - where the heck is the rest of the Dartmoor Diary?

Well, our return to work from our Dartmoor trip has been quite hectic (and has taken a bit more of adjustment that we thought after the wonderful week spent on the moor!) That, coupled with a few weekends away playing in VT, has led to a slightly longer delay than we had first anticipated.

Sue & I returned to VT again this weekend and used the cool, crisp weather as an opportunity to do some box maintenance on our boxes there as well as plant a new box.

Our new box is called Vermont View and is a tag-along of sorts to our early Birds of a Feather series. While the photo above was taken in VT, it is not associated with the letterbox or its location. It was from a trip taken to Thetford, VT the previous weekend - a weekend where Sue & I completed about 10 Valley Quests and took some pictures of many more Vermont views. We hope to put those photos up on a page by themselves this week or next.

Speaking of Dartmoor - we also posted a little series of boxes that the group left in Dartmoor - a collaborative effort by The Moor Tor-ists. While we had originally planned to plant a series of boxes called Pirates of Penzance in Penzance, the whole group just couldn't tear itself away from the moor.

A small group of us - Deanne & Dave, Silent Doug and Sue & I planted this series of 3 boxes called Talk Like A Pirate Day Series since we planted it on September 19 and it was the only link to the pirate subject that we could find!!! We hope you will look for this series if you are ever Dartmoor bound. While we're pleased to host these clues on our blog it was a joint effort that features the carving of 2 boxes by Deanne, the Lazy Letterboxer and 1 by yours truly; clues and grid references by Silent Doug & Sue; hunting places by the complete group; and scavenged boxes along the planting route by Dave, the Letterboxing Ham!
