Letterboxing - a treasure hunt
For those of you unaquainted with letterboxing , it is a treasure hunt of sorts where clues to hidden letterboxes are posted online. Then you follow the clues to the letterbox where you "stamp in" to the log book and in turn use the stamp inside the letterbox to stamp your own logbook, a passport of sorts. I read about letterboxing in Family Fun at the library and it sounded like the perfect fit for our family - getting outdoors, a treasure hunt where often you have to use a compass (hooray for husbands who were avid Boy Scouts) , and inexpensive. A quick look on www.letterboxing.org showed several sites in SE Idaho and 5 in Idaho Falls. Abi and Tal were out of school on Friday so we picked Kris up for lunch and went to find our first letterbox. This one was called "Just Across the Bridge" and was a quick and easy find. The logbook was full of stamps from as far away as California and South Carolina. According to the website there are over 22,000 sites in the US. Our first experience was so fun, we will be doing more of this again for sure.
