Mountain Letterboxing Challenge

The thoughts and ideas behind the "Mountain Challenge" has been playing out in my brain for a few months. It is an award program for letterboxers willing to challenge and push themselves to find some of our Mountain letterboxes in the southern Appalachians of mainly western NC.

The challenge includes some previously existing boxes as well as some brand new ones planted this summer. There are more boxes planned and awaiting placement and clues.

The boxes will be considered a challenge either because there are on a long hike or for some reason such as a challenging clue or location to reach. The boxes that will count as a challenge box will be predetermined and be listed as such on the website when it is up and running. Some boxes are already on the list of challenge boxes...so if you want to get started earning your award you may contact me (dixie) for the list of letterboxes already approved as challenges.

The award will be a new Mountain Challenge pathtag and/or patch. We are leaning toward the pathtag as the award at this time.

Stay tuned...
