Letterboxing, the new geocaching.
Letterboxing is a new trend of the same ilk as geocaching. It was started in England and migrated to the US recently. Participants use clues to find hidden boxes with rubber stamps, guesbooks and other treats in them. Finders sign the guestbook and stamp their own notebooks with the rubber stamps.
From the US site:
"Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming 'treasure hunt' style outdoor quest."
There seem to be quite a few letterboxes in the Boston area. I think we're going to give this a try.
