Do you box?

Don't have a clue what I am talking about? Joe, Andrew, and I (well I mostly) have become somewhat engrossed in a hobby of ours called letterboxing. Basically, it is a treasure hunt, but at the end you don't find treasure. Instead a box with a rubber stamp that you stamp into your logbook, and in turn stamp the logbook in the letterbox with your own personal stamp. The stamps are often hand carved and the artwork of the stamp is sometimes the true treasure. For details, click on the links below. I strongly urge you to at least become familar with letterboxing, even if you don't want to participate.

Ok, so maybe you do box. We have been at it about 3 and a half years now (We being Joe, Liz, and Andrew of Nashville, TN). We have found more than 50 boxes, but I don't keep a running tab on the exact amount. We enjoy letterboxing for alot of reasons. The thrill of the hunt, the wildlife near the boxes, the peaceful environment, and the art of the stamps we find keep us coming back for more. I also enjoy carving the stamps for the boxes I make. I'm not the best at it, but hey, that's not what it's about.
