A Duc and Seven Fishes~

I'm sure you've figured out by now that we keep a close eye on new letterboxes that are posted on the 2 major clue repositories - LBNA (letterboxing.org) and Atlas Quest.

Reading the new boxes this evening, one caught my Italian eye! It was called Feast of the Seven Fishes. Longtime readers of this blog know that every Christmas Eve our home is the location for the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes - a joyous evening that our nieces and nephews tell Sue & I is their most favorite night of the year; filled with family, fun and traditional fare!

A letterbox, I thought? Imagine our surprise! So, I clicked. And there it was - a Rubaduc production! And many months early as well. Find the clue here. And the Duc has asked that those boxers under the age of 12 to submit names for each of the 7 fish.

All I can say is "Atsa nice, Duc!"

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.
