Letterboxing is defined as: an outdoor hobby that combines elements of orienteering, art, and puzzle solving. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogs, on one of several web sites, or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes usually contain a notebook and a rubber stamp. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp, either on their personal notebook or on a postcard, and leave an impression of their personal stamp on the letterbox's "visitors' book" or "logbook" — as proof of having found the box and letting subsequent letterboxers see who have visited. Many letterboxers keep careful track of their "find count". (taken from Wikipedia)
We have been on several letterboxing adventures and it is something we all enjoy. Dan is the expert at finding the boxes. It is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and we are looking forward to collecting more stamps. Here are some pictures of us from our hunt for The Pollywog. (Dan found it of course.)
