Bella and I discovered letterboxing via Girl Scouts and one of the brownie badges we completed last year. It's the precursor to geocaching, with point of reference or directional clues that lead you to the letterbox. Box contains a logbook and a stamp. The letterboxer brings along their own stamp (to stamp into the found logbook) and personal logbook (to stamp their finds). Letterboxes can be found all over and are often placed in locations that are hidden gems! The two websites that I've used to find letterboxer are www.atlasquest.com (my favorite) and www.letterboxing.com
As part of our badge work last year, I planted my first letterbox with a store bought stamp. Now that I'm older and wiser, I have realized half the fun for me is creating a cool hand carved stamp. So this past weekend, I made a new stamp for our first box and then Bella and I went and replaced it (location fox trail park!)
Here's the updated stamp as well as link to the clues to find it!!
