4/20 - Stamps and Letterboxing

So I accidentally re-learned all about letterboxing.  We went to a postal convention, and I decided to finally use the stamp carving materials I bought in Japan.  My first attempt was a penguin; I used a sketch I made while we were in Antarctica as a template.  I think I did pretty well!  :)
After making a few more stamps, I decided to start Letterboxing.  It's like geocaching, but instead of using just GPS coordinates, logging into a bock, and trading prizes, you get written directions to the hidden box, use the box's stamp to stamp into your own book, and use your signature stamp to log into the logbook.  It's great!  I even decide to host my own box.  :)
