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.

Can You Hear the Barking???

I'm sure you must!

Bookworm, Sue & I spent some quality time with the dogs on Sunday. It's been a little embarassing that we've only nabbed a few of those puppies - since the location is right around the corner from our home and we started it all with our Dog Walk Series and the challenge of encouraging other letterboxers to carve and plant their own favorite pooches!

It was amazing to see the number of dog-related (and other!) boxes that continue to pop up in Bicentennial Park. I learned from someone who knows the park much better than I that there are over 50 boxes here - counting the mysteries!!!

It was so cool to walk around and find these pooches knowing that a hair-brained scheme of ours began it all. This is such a great place to walk - with or without your dog. Recently we read in our local paper that the town is adding on another trail to this park very soon. Can that mean that there will be more dog-themed boxes to come? We certainly hope so!

Our thanks to all of the planters who have made this a fun, safe place to box on any given day. The Worm, Sue & I ended up with 26 boxes in the roughly 4 hours we were out. Not bad when you think that before October of 2006 there wasn't a letterbox in site - or hidden! So come on down, bring your kids & dog(s) and maybe a box to leave behind. It's great fun and we hope the planting never stops!
