Letterboxing

While in Yakima this last weekend I was introduced to letter boxing. My cousin Bryce and his family have been doing this form of "Scavenger hunting" for a couple of years now and he introduced us to it. It looks like a fun thing to do with kids or on your own. It is fairly cheap cost wise and could keep us entertained for hours*. I found one site that is pretty good if anyone is curious to look at it. It's www.letterboxing.org and there are links to other blogs as well. So, today I set out to get our notebook, Family Stamp and ink at the local art supply store and I think we are ready for Letterbox # 1. Once we find it, we will be able to stamp in and find another. These boxes are hidden from sight and some even require a compass to find! Luckily, there are tons that are easy to find, but once a seasoned letterboxer, one can start looking for more challenging ones. I checked it out. There is one at Lord's Hill in Monroe that has never been found! If you have ever been to Lord's Hill you will know how possible that is!
