This site is basically devoted to the Hodges family letterboxing adventures. We plan to list our plants here (which are currently in progress) and possibly our finds, too.
What is Letterboxing, you ask?
Letterboxing is an intriguing mix of hiking, puzzle solving, treasure hunting, and rubber stamp artistry, topped off with the thrill of discovery. The basic idea is simple. Clues, usually posted on a web site, lead to the secret location of a hidden "letterbox." Inside the letterbox are a unique rubber stamp and a logbook. When the letterbox is found, the finder stamps the box's logbook with his or her personal stamp, leaving a record of the discovery. Then the finder stamps his or her own personal logbook with the box's stamp, creating a passport-like collection of hand-carved stamps. The letterbox is then secreted away again for another searcher to uncover. (taken from The Letterboxer's Compainion, by Randy Hall.)
