Special Focus: Letter Boxing St. Louis!

Letter Boxing is a scavenger hunt of sorts. Participants follow clues given in a poem, a song, a cryptic note or other creative way.   Usually, the letter boxing event takes place in one area, such as a park, and the letter box is hidden somewhere such as under a rock, in a tree, etc. In the box is a booklet and stamp. You stamp the stamp in your book AND you use your own stamp to stamp in the book in the letter box.  Here is a list of letter boxing trails in the St. Louis area. Always read about the trail first. Some have been lost, flooded, stolen, etc.
