Must not be many letterboxers in Middle Tennessee. The closest box I
know of is over at University of the South toward East Tenn. I know
there are several geocaches here, but somehow that hobby just seems
less challenging.
If anyone is in this area and knows of boxes, let me know where to
find the clues. And maybe I'll get over to Sewanee in the next few
weeks. My sister-in-law went to school there.

Because there are more geocaches in my area and my husband and kids enjoy
them , We have been visiting geocaches around our area and leaving stamps in
the cache with notes that they are for letterboxers to stamp up with.
Several times we have drummed up interest in letterboxing that way and have
had a few geocachers start planting letterboxes.

Welcome
Darrin... A bit scarce in TN, but remember..... If YOU hide
it, they will come.
I marvel at the
past year and how far VA has come from maybe 1 active LBer (she was in MD I
think) to now 3-4 and the box count from single digits to 57 now. It was a bit
frustrating at first having to travel 1-2 hours to the nearest boxes, but it was
worth it.
Hang in there and have fun.

If you make it over to the Smokey Mountains park, please let me know
if my boxes are still there and the condition of them. I had planned
to go back this spring but likely won't make it until November.

Geocaching - The Official GPS Cache
Hunt Site
It is similar to letterboxing only the clues are usually the coordinates
with a few encrpted hints AND the box usually has a cache in it. Leave
something ... take something. A treasure hunt I guess but you need a hand
held GPS to find the coordinates. We have been making letterbox geocaches
with clues, a stamp and coordinates.
