Letterboxing is an intriguing “treasure hunt” style outdoor activity. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and post clues to finding the box online on one of several Web sites. However, clues to finding some of the most highly-sought boxes are passed around by word of mouth.

There are about 60,000 active letterboxes listed on LbNA alone. Individual letterboxes usually contain a log book, an often hand-carved rubber stamp and occasionally contain an ink pad. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox’s stamp on their personal log book, and leave an imprint of their personal stamp on the letterbox’s logbook.

If you notice that there seems to be a lot of clues for missing letterboxes in your area that are cluttering up the search results, please click on the question mark in the lower right corner of most of the pages on LbNA to send me a message (or use Help > Contact Us). I’ll take a look and archive old clues.

I tried to do a lot of that type of clean up as part of the move to the new server and I hope the results make it easier to use.
