Letterboxing gatherings are great events.  Friends and strangers – letterboxers at all levels of experience – meet at a location with letterboxes.

Any of the following activities (and more!) can be part of a letterboxing gathering:

• Informal or organized hunts for existing letterboxes
• Event-specific letterboxes may be planted and found
• Swapping stories, stamps and other letterboxing-specific items
• Workshops
• Picnics and cookouts
