Atlas Quest: A Letterboxing Community
http://www.atlasquest.com/
So here I am at work the other day and someone comes in asking for "The Pirates Wife". I have no idea what they are looking for but a co-worker pulls down this old chest that has a Atlas printed on in. Inside this chest is a black bag with a Large Stamp, an ink pad and a book with all types of pages in it that are stamped.
Being noisy like I am, I asked what they were doing.
They explained this wonderful, inexpensive community called Letterboxing. It's all over the world. They go to different towns, city, states and follow the clues and find the stamp. Sometimes they are in parks, stores or even around places like Disney. Then you stamp your book put your date and place where you got it. You then take YOUR stamp and stamp their book and put your Letterboxing name and where your from.
How neat is that?! You will find that when you put in your information on the website there is (at least around us) a huge number of boxes in your area. It's free to register and it's free to do. Minus the price of your stamp, ink pad and stamp book. There is a easy way to keep track of what you have found and what you cant find. A community blog and so much more.
Lil Momma and I are going to start ours this weekend with the fun stuff right here in our area. Then when we go on vacations (NYC in October) we will have fun finding new things AND new stamps!
