Letterboxing

We decided to try something called Letterboxing (http://www.letterboxing.org/ or http://www.atlasquest.com/). This involves swapping rubber ink-stamp impressions with others in the area by first finding the hidden location using various written clues (kind of like geocaching, but without the GPS). We have found 2 of them so far.

This letterbox had a hand-carved stamp in it depicting a jokey on a race horse at the Tampa Bay Downs race track. Very neat.

This search took us on a winding route for about a mile before we finally got to the site where the letterbox was hidden.

Our stamp image is on the left, which is the logbook that was in the letterbox, and we placed an impression of the fish in our logbook.

And this is why the letterbox was placed here. It's right on the edge of the waterfront and positioned under a huge pine tree. A nice and peaceful spot to sit and reflect on life for a bit.
