Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby that combines elements of orienteering, art and puzzle solving. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogs, on one of several web sites, or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes usually contain a logbook and a rubber stamp. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp on their personal logbook, and leave an impression of their personal stamp on the letterbox's logbook—as proof of having found the box. Many letterboxers keep careful track of their "find count".

went out in the bitter wind and flurries to try my hand at compassing. while I think we we able to properly align compass to map, aligning out footsteps to the prescribed route proved a little more difficult. we got the general direction, but had to rely on matching landmarks to the map to find the exact check points. must look up further information on how to be accurate.
at each checkpoint, you inserted this odd looking orange fob into a machine that did a time stamp, so that at the end you could check your speed. we took a while to do the easiest course, but we weren't sprinting from marker to marker like the other people working the routes.
an Orienteering Cincinnati event. grab your compass! who wants to try it out?
