Oh is that a GEO box/cache??? You find those with GPS.. they are spread all across the world!

I found some really weird shit in the ones I've seen. From crayola and GI Joes to condoms and beer bottle caps..

Its an outdoorsman challenge of bragging rights to leave your unique mark on as many as you can

I've found 4 in Utah and Colorado

**Dilangfh** · 07-20-2010, 10:37 PM

probably the same type of thing

I've done orienteering before but that's the first time I've heard of that!

Yes, letterboxing is all part of geocaching. I've never gotten a letterbox, but they're not very popular around these parts. I've got 111 geocaches under my belt, though, and just started going out again after a 10 month hiatus.
