LETTERBOXING AND GEOCACHING

Search here at Gilman Library

Have you heard about these two styles of public treasure hunts?  Treasure Hunting Enthusiasts have hidden both a letterbox and a geocache on the library premises. 

Clues can be found at 


letterboxing.info  and

LETTERBOXING

LETTERBOXING

LETTERBOXING

 Letterboxing started in 1854 in Dartmoor, England. 

Clues are given to find a hidden container. 

This style uses stamping. 

You sign the logbook with your signature stamp 

and use the stamp in the letterbox to 

mark your personal logbook.

GEOCACHING

LETTERBOXING

LETTERBOXING

By comparison, Geocaching started 22
years ago in Portland, Oregon. 

GPS coordinates are used to locate the hidden container. Sometimes the caches include small prizes. 

Geocaching honor code requires that if you 

take a trinket, you must leave some other trinket 

as a prize for the next treasure hunter.
