Letterboxing in Southern Maryland

MC2000 · 03-26-2005, 12:25 AM

Just came across this website... http://www.letterboxing.org. Has anybody ever done this? Seems like a fun way to make a visit/hike even more interesting.

Looks like they have a hidden treasure box at Calvert Cliffs State Park and in St. Mary's City plus thousands more across the country.

This seems to be much more popular. It is based around GPS coordinates. Although, I guess you could plot the coordinates out on a map instead of using a handheld GPS. There are tons of geocaches in SOMD, and all over the world.

That's a pretty cool site. Interesting concept. It would be great way to get some exercise and see some beautiful sites that our country has to offer.

Maybe I'll try it.

I've heard of it but haven't ever looked for one! I think you have to have your own "mark" for the books you find? I think when my kid(s) get older, we'll participate in it. I think its a fantastic way to get to your your area, etc. =)
