I visited the letterbox I placed in Lincoln Woods back in August 8 of 2005. A pen had 
gone missing so I replaced it, but the book was dry and the stamp was fine.
Letterboxing is a fun orienteering-style game where you get directions to a letterbox and attempt to find it. Mine can be found here, and I’ve posted pictures of each entry on my Flickr account. Pretty much any place you go, there is a letterbox, so it’s a fun thing to do as part of a hike. Even in little Gould, CO, there is a Lake Agnes Letterbox. I’ll have to check it out sometime.
Letterboxing has a funny similiarity to blogging. You put out little nuggets for strangers to run across and then see what they have to say.
What a neat concept. It brings to mind Annie Dillard’s recounting of her dropping pennies around her neighborhood as a child. She did it merely for the vicarious delight that she imagined the person finding them would experience.
