Has anyone heard of letterboxing...or geocaching? Geocaching involves using a GPS device to "treasure hunt" stuff people have hidden and recorded. I always thought it sounded fun, but never wanted to spend on the GPS. Well, recently, Zach stumbled across a letterbox find. We were walking on the levee nearby, and he was looking under boulders for critters. He found a salamander under one, and under the other one was a small, clear plastic box. Inside it was a tiny homemade? notebook and a homemade shamrock stamp. There were pages which people had stamped with the date and their own homemade stamp. At the end was a website, Atlasquest.com. When we checked it out, we found out there were quite a few other letterboxes hidden along the levee--a shamrock series. The website listed the clues, and when you find them, you log your finds. And of course, you're supposed to make your own stamp so you can stamp the little books. We got a kit for 12.00 at Michael's. I thought Zach would want to do it, but I ended up making a stamp of the back of our dog's head and another one with our user name, Naturefreak. After that one find, we did go back and found 3 more. There's still a few more to find, and I printed the clues for some other series of letterboxes in Orting and nearby Graham. Even though there is no cash, it's really fun...and free! Atlasquest.com is an international thing, so anybody that looks would probably find something in their area!
