Letterboxing is an active way to have fun outside for all ages. Enjoy the beauty of nature while taking on an awesome treasure hunt! Two Cadette Girl Scouts have hidden 17 letterboxes on 4 of Middleton’s scenic nature trails.
How many can YOU find? Come take a hike, enjoy the scenery, and have some fun following our clues while exploring Middleton’s wonderful trails! Each hike is different, ranging from less than half a mile to 3.5 miles. We challenge you to find all 17 of our letterboxes!
To letterbox, follow the clues and look for our purple and clear plastic containers, which are called letterboxes. In each letterbox, you will find a stamp, an ink pad, a pen, and notebook. Bring your own stamp and notebook. Letterboxes can be found by following the clues provided on the links below. They are hidden in spaces like under rocks or logs or in trees. They can be hidden with rocks, sticks, bark,etc. You will need to search for them and uncover them. When you find a letterbox, stamp your stamp into the letterbox’s notebook and write your name and the date. Stamp the stamp provided in the letterbox into your personal notebook. Collect all the stamps you can from other letterboxes in your own personal letterboxing notebook! Always remember to re-hide the letterboxes exactly as you found them so they are ready for the next person to find. Safety tips: Hike with a buddy, bring water and a snack, use insect repellent, and always check for ticks! Good luck and have fun!
Letterboxing is like a treasure hunt in nature.
