Letterboxing

We took the kids 'letterboxing' during their visit to St George. It is a great way to get some exercise and provide a little bit of excitement along the way. Some good hearted souls have gone to the trouble to hide 'letterboxes' around in public areas. It is usually a water tight plastic container and inside there is a rubber stamp and a small notebook. The box is hidden under some rocks and directions to the location of the boxes are found on a web site. Each of the kids had their own stamps with ink pad and a notepad. The goal is to leave your stamp impression in the book found in the box and to stamp your book with the stamp found in the box. Information as to the date, location, name etc. can be added as well. We searched and found 3 boxes in the St George area. I am going to create some more letterboxes and will stash them when I go hiking.
