letterboxing. I was so excited about it, but couldn't find any other
letterboxers in my area. I loved carving stamps and letterboxing sounded
like just "the ticket!" I filed it away in the recesses of my mind for
future reference.
Recently I started thinking about letterboxing again and did a search on the
internet. I was very excited to see that we now have a number of
letterboxes placed in my state!! I love the added connection with other
lbers via the internet.
...and now you know "the rest of the story."
Happy trails,
