Letterboxing!!

Sorry I haven't posted for....*gasps* ten days!! So, yeah, I've been busy. But guess what? I've joined in on letterboxing! If you don't know what that is, then here is a basic explanation:

Letterboxing is 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".


Can you tell it's from Wikipedia??? Yeah, it is. Though I italicized it. Anyways, if you want to join the letterboxing community, I suggest making your own stamps. Your letterboxing ID stamp should be the first one you make. You need to choose a trail name too. My favorite way to do this is to combine your favorite animal and favorite sport.

Example:

Favorite Animal: Cat
Favorite Sport: Basketball

Then you would become Basketball Cat. My favorite letterboxing website (which gives more info on letterboxing) is www.atlasquest.com. See you there! :)
