The Great Book Adventure Gathering

TeamKing and I are cooking up some letterboxing gathering fun. We're planning a book-themed literary adventure. The offers for stamp donations are pouring in and we're looking for a great time in the company of some of our favorite people (letterboxers) and things (books).



I've already carved a number of stamps, and they are relatively detailed and intricate. I have created Amelia Bedelia, Nancy Drew, Elizabeth & Darcy, and The Little Prince. I am going to add a scene from Little Women, The Phantom Tollbooth, Pippi Longstocking, Tom Sawyer, and more as they come to mind. Look for updates!

Postage Stamp Mystery Boxes



























All of our postage stamp boxes are mystery boxes. The stamps are all replicas of USPS-issued stamps. We have a lot of fun with these boxes and try to make the clues interesting, challenging and fun.

Our original box, planted last June, A Little Stamp Mystery, is now missing. Still around are Oscar! and Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron. We did add another yesterday to the fold, the Magical Mystery Tour. Look for more in this series as well.

From the above spot, go 28 steps to two stumps in the middle of the trail. Continue on to the next signpost. Follow the top arrow to a stump. Behind that stump is a log. Box is underneath the log, one foot from the end on the stump side.
