 PERFECT FOR NEW CACHERS! |
| Review Date: December 11, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Steven J. Defau, Abilene, TX |
| This book is perfect for people new to the hobbies of Geocaching and Letterboxing! We wish that we would have had this book when we began a few years ago. There is a ton of helpful information (to include acronyms, special types of hides, how to make a rubber stamp, etc.) all in a very easy to read format. In addition, there are areas to document your finds and other achievements. We bought a few copies of this book to give as presents, but will be keeping at least one and ordering more very soon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! VERY PLEASED OVERALL! |

"It's a Treasure Hunt!" is a guide to get people started Geocaching and Letterboxing. Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where players use a handheld GPS and try to find containers that are hidden outdoors. Letterboxing is a mixture of treasure hunting, art, and clue solving. Players go online to find clues to where a Letterbox is hidden and once the Letterbox is found, players use his/her homemade stamps and inkpad to stamp the logbook in the letterbox and uses the stamp and inkpad in the Letterbox in his/her personal logbook.
"It's a Treasure Hunt!" fully explains how both Geocaching and Letterboxing work. The book gives detailed instructions on what supplies are needed to do both activities and what supplies to pack while hunting for the Geocache/Letterbox. It also gives you tips on how to find the hidden "treasures" and what to do once you find them. The book also explains and illustrates the different types of Geocaches and Letterboxes (micro, small, mystery, etc.). There are also tips on how to carve your own stamps for Letterboxing and space to practice stamping. There are also a few pages to start your own logbook. Finally, there is a glossary of terms used in both activities.
I've wanted to try Letterboxing for a long time and found "It's a Treasure Hunt!" to be very useful in getting me started. While I did extensive research on line, I found the pictures of the Letterboxes and stamps, as well as the sample logbook to be very helpful. While I wasn't initially interested in Geocaching, this book got me interested and I plan on starting Geocaching soon.
After reading "It's a Treasure Hunt!" I went and found my first letterbox and look forward to finding more. Well done.
