In just a couple of weeks, some amazing Kossacks at Netroots Nation will be packing up boxes filled with supplies and letters for our troops. There is less than 2 weeks left to donate, and while we are so close there is still almost $6,000 more to raise. You can help now by donating, even if it is just a few dollars.
Now all of this talk lately about letters and boxes has inspired me to share an activity that my family does called letterboxing.
From letterboxing.org:
Letterboxing is an intriguing mix of treasure hunting, art, navigation, and exploring interesting, scenic, and sometimes remote places. It takes the ancient custom of placing a rock on a cairn upon reaching the summit of a mountain to an artform. It started when a gentleman simply left his calling card in a bottle by a remote pool on the moors of Dartmoor, in England.
