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!!!"

Merry Christmas!

Sue & I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours the best holiday season ever and a happy & healthy New Year.

As we prepare for our traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes, we just had to make the time to write this holiday message.

Tomorrow night our house will be full with family, delicious smells and all of those special ingredients that a make a special day. We wish that in the coming days you, as well, gather up all of those ingredients necessary in making your own special holiday. And don't forget the reason for the season!

We be back after the new year but we can't leave without wishing ourselves a happy 5th anniversary - for this blog that began on December 29, 2002. We've expanded a bit and reach a few more people then we did at first and would like to thank our loyal readers. As I've said before, anyone can do this and the latest spate of blogs show that. It's you, the readers, that make this blog what it is - your interaction and emails that continually encourage and suggest new ideas. For that, we are truly grateful.

As we close another Pinecone year, we reflect back at our special letterboxing moments - the highlight of which was our Dartmoor trip and the magic it left in the hearts and souls of all of the participants. You must make a trip there - whatever it takes. There's a real connection there with the boxes, the people and that beautiful moor!

And reflecting forward we have a very busy year! A Florida trip in late April, our Letterboxing Cruise in June, a return to OR for Mitch's special They Live and Breathe Letterboxing gathering and finally, our Bed & Boxing event in November in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. And who know what weekends or gatherings might crop up in the meantime!

We wish you all the very best and hope you'll come back and visit us here real soon. And don't forget -



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