It's so nice when others help too. Good for you. It is a spirit of community, isn't it? Have you gotten a hitchiker yet? That's a 2 for 1 sale at the store. Such fun. Joey

No hitchhikers yet. I can't wait to find one though.

It is a fun, cheap, sometimes educational hobby. We really enjoy it. Joey

I really think my little one would enjoy this, but I'm finding it a little overwhelming to figure out where to begin, how to begin, etc. She is 3, so I was thinking of something for next year, when she's a bit older. She really loves the woods and hiking, and she's all about "secret treasures" and finding hidden things. Would be right up her alley.

Back from our first letterboxing adventure! It was really fun...from finding the location where we needed to search to following the clues, etc. We did find the box and surprisingly dh was the one who fell in love with the activity!! He and ds are planning a lot of letterboxing stops on our trip to Michigan this autumn-can't wait! |

Just found our first hitchhiker stamp this weekend. We are having so much fun with this new hobby. Just thought I would share again to let others know about this cool activity.

We just planted a hitchhiker when we were out camping last weekend. My girls & I are going to make up our own and send them out. With an email address or blog addy. We'd like to keep track of where it goes.
Reminds me - we're going to Kentucky, I should look for letterboxes where we're going.
We've been doing this for about 10 years. I have a friend that lives locally who is extremely active in it. She's a big player on Atlasquest if you go on there. She teaches how to carve stamps, organizes outings and loves to share her gift. I'm so happy to know her!
Edited to add: If anyone is on Atlasquest and wants to be buddies, I'm 3 Sweeties - over there.
