The Kurdziel Family Letterboxing Homepage |
Welcome to the Kurdziel family homepage dedicated to the sport of letterboxing. Letterboxing is an intriguing combination of treasure hunt, hiking and orienteering. It gives our family an excuse to try out new areas for hiking while in pursuit of new stamps for our journals. In addition, it provides us with a creative outlet for trying stamp carving and sharing our favorite spots with others. For more detailed information on how to get involved in letterboxing and a listing of all the published letterbox clues check out www.letterboxing.org, the Letterboxing North America website. There is also a yahoogroups talklist with up to date information and conservations about the world of letterboxing. "Only thoughts reached by walking have value."
