website with clues for
letterboxes in the
Central, NY area.
By using this website
and searching for my
boxes you agree with
the Waiver and Terms
of Use.
Letterboxing is an
outdoor activity
involving the
deciphering of clues,
and then using that
information along with
a map and compass
to hunt for your prey:
a small waterproof
"box" containing a
hand carved (usually)
stamp, logbook, and
sometimes an ink pad
and pen. Once found,
you exchange stamp
and to search for boxes by city or town check out
Atlas Quest.
"Letterboxers take nothing and leave nothing but good impressions."

This is not Geocaching although geocaching is similar; it involves different
utensils, but you get to go outside to play
with both. The rest of the time is spent
plotting how you get to do it all over again.
A lot of the fun for me besides being led by
the clues is the landscape and beauty
discovered along the way. I took some
beautiful photographs on a failed letterbox
attempt. I never know what delights we'll
find until we get there.
To learn about assembling a letterbox and
stamp carving, visit Silent Doug's website

information and links to get you started.
Visit the Goodies page and you'll find
instructions for stitching logbooks,plus
printouts for box labels.
