letterboxing adventure #1

{hopefully to be followed by adventure #2}

let me just begin this post by explaining what letterboxing is {if you don't already know}

it's awesome!

i like to describe it as scavengerhunts for grown-ups {or even not-so-grown-ups}

it's easy, and all you need is a notebook, a stamp and a good sense of adventure.

{it's a hobby i started and cultivated with my bestie}

so anyway, onto today's letterboxing hunt with my summertime kiddos!

 {we started at the lookout to see where we're going: down there by "tuddle puddle"}

the second clue led us down to the "bison" {you know, kansas art}

{ok, i actually think they're pretty cool}

the box is somewhere in this old wall...

 found it!

the best part- you put your stamp in their notebook, and their stamp in your notebook. make sense?

{my notebook and stamp, with the found letterbox and hand-carved bison stamp inside}

we had fun. and it's a great way to explore outdoor spaces you wouldn't necessarily go otherwise.
now go look and see if there are any letterboxes near you! {or just to read more about it} you'll be hooked.
