Ah, Johnny Depp in a pirate outfit with Orlando Bloom, it doesn’t get much better than that does it? At least not if you’re a pirate lover, and if you’re a pirate lover then you probably enjoy a good treasure hunt as well.
The problem is, nobody buries treasures anymore unless you’re a spammer. Or maybe they do. Have you ever heard of Letterboxing?
LETTERBOXING is an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming “treasure hunt” style outdoor quest. A wide variety of adventures can be found to suit all ages and experience levels.
A friend of mine alerted me to this new hobby that her and her husband have begun enjoying together.
It’s a kissing cousin to the more high tech geocaching, without all of the expense. And here’s the great thing, this website lists tons of letterboxes near you! I was surprised at how many were in our area. I definitely think this is something that our family will be doing to enjoy the weather this fall!
