Letterboxing is a mix of treasure hunting, art, navigation, and exploring interesting, scenic, and sometimes remote places. Take a notebook and pencil and your own personal rubber stamp and inkpad with you as you follow the clues. My son’s Cub Scout Troop learned about letterboxing a few years ago and even placed one of their own, “Tiger in the Woods,” one of six in Arlington and there are hundreds in Northern Virginia. Click this website link for a list of letterboxes nearby or use the site to search for others when you travel.
