The Hounds of Boxerville

Thomas and I were invited by Mark and Sue Pepe to join a group of letterboxers for a Pinecone Adventure to Dartmoor. This is the third Pinecone Adventure to the Moors and our first. We are so incredibly happy and honored to be traveling with this group to the birthplace of letterboxing. Our trip takes place from August 28 - September 11, 2014. This blog will chronicle the trip as well as activities before and after the trip.

Pinecone Adventures Returns to the Moor with The Hounds of Boxerville.

The road in front of us grew bleaker and wilder over huge russet and olive slopes, sprinkled with giant boulders. Now and then we passed a moorland cottage, walled and roofed with stone, with no creeper to break its harsh outline.
- from The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

My Dartmoor Letterboxes Found

Because of the kindness of Mark & Sue Pepe we are in Dartmoor - the birthplace of letterboxing. Thomas and I joined the group traveling to the moors and I have decided to keep a list of the boxes we found in Dartmoor. Hopefully we will reach at least 100 finds. The group is traveling under the name of The Hounds of Boxerville, a play on the Sherlock Holmes’ book The Hound of the Baskervilles.
