So, have you heard of letterboxing?

Letterboxing. It's my latest obsession. Along with Jack Sparrow, sleeping, and Rockstar Supernova, that is. At any rate, letterboxing is one of those hobbies that appeals to my artistic side, as well as the adventure/piratical soul.

Here's the skinny on letterboxing (and my thanks to the folks at Atlas Quest who do a better job of explaining than I do).

Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining artistic ability with delightful "treasure-hunts" in beautiful, scenic places that the whole family can enjoy. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by following clues, and then record their discovery in their personal journal with the help of a rubber stamp that's part of the letterbox. In addition, letterboxers have their own personal stamps which they use to stamp into the letterbox's logbook.

Interested yet? If you are, or just want more info, check out my links where there are several letterboxing sites listed.

Then, come on and join the fun!
