Just heard about letterboxing last week from the story in foxnews,
and
was very intrigued.
I've found four so far - I especially enjoyed the 'Two Hearts' one
from the sculpture garden in Lincoln, MA. What a place!
Today I had my first failure, at the East Point Lighthouse in
Gloucester, MA. I was expecting it to be easy, and I was doing just
fine with the clues and landmarks up until the very end. (I have no
idea what the "three distinct rocks" from the clues are ... and there
were so many rocks that trial and error wasn't going to get me far!)

Another newbie from MA checking in. We found our first two
letterboxes, Gray Reservation and Bolton Quarry, over the
weekend. We all have our own personal stamps now (even the dog) and we got
a kit and have started carving a special stamp for a letterbox we plan to plant
in the near future. We need to work with clues a little more before we
write our own.
We looked for Two Hearts when we were at the sculpture garden a couple of
weeks ago but it was very crowded and some really obnoxious people got
in the way and we could not be discrete so we gave up. My friend wants to
try East Point Lighthouse, that one sounds like a challenge.

From my compass and the description, I know I was in the right
general
area, but the terrain was a little too awkward to keep exploring
without me having a more specific focus. A gorgeous spot though!
I'm
seeing that that is a nice thing about letterboxing - even if you
don't find it, the locations are a reward in themselves.
Just saying hi to the group!

I agree! The locations are reward in themselves! Its the process, not the
product.
Welcome!
