Why Stamp and Ink You ask


I started Letterboxing a couple of years ago, because I like puzzles, the outdoors, art and history. Now, you are saying to yourself, "what the heck is a letterbox?" Well, I can tell you. A Letterbox is made up of a rubber stamp and logbook. The stamp and log are placed in a small (waterproof) container and hid from the public eye in some place that is accessible to other letterboxers. Then clues are posted via internet, and with lots of luck and patience the letterbox is found by other letterboxers. After finding a letterbox, I use my INK to get an image from their stamp and I stamp an image of my signature STAMP (which is an image that I use to identify myself) in their logbook. Therefore, I do not travel without my Stamp and Ink.


Letterbox clues can be found in many places on the internet, but the largest websites are LBNA.com and AtlasQuest.com.
