What is Letterboxing all about?
Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby which could be compared to an open air treasure hunt. It is an ancient pastime which began when a man left his business card in glass jar on the moors of Dartmoor in south Devon, England. Now Letterboxers hide a small weatherproof box with a rubber stamp in publicly accessible places and post clues to its location. Traditionally, the clues are left in known letterboxes, but also on the Internet. A wide variety of adventures can be found to suit all ages and experience levels. Click on the links below to explore this fast-growing hobby. Interest in letterboxing in the United States is generally considered to have started with a feature article in the [April 1998] Smithsonian Magazine.
