Awesome! Tom is right: there are just a BUNCH of great hikes that have been
letterboxed here in Southern New England. Visiting www.letterboxing.org is
the best way to get the clues, but you can also check out the EMS store in
the Crystal Mall (no commercial affiliation here....). Those folks have been
great about putting the word out and they have a nice binder with about 30
letterbox clue sheets all xerox'ed and ready to go for you, as well as great
trail guide books, compasses, and maps.
There are only a few handmade stamps scattered around here: most are
commercially made over-the-counter, off-the-rack types, but as Tom says,
it's easier than it sounds and really quite addicting to create your own.
But don't feel like you HAVE to!
I missed those Norwich Bulletin articles and will have to hit the library to
see them. Do you remember the date (more or less), or even the month?
Welcome! Can't wait to see your new boxes up on line!
