Letterboxing

Ok, this completely blows my mind away!! Arlene heeded my earlier call and forwarded some really cool links recently - fruits of her *idle* surfing on the internet during winter break. One of them led me to letterboxing - are you all aware of this past time?? How cool that there is a network of treasure hunt enthusiasts keeping this English tradition alive, and isn't it just the perfect activity to keep grade school + children outdoors?

Jochen would laugh at my excitement, since he knows a gnat could find its way out of a paper bag faster than I can...

I just found a German site - we're a few years off but this is something I'm going to keep in mind for the kids. Can't wait to strap Monchichi in the carrier to hit the trails this summer!!
