Letterboxers hunt far and wide for their quests


The 355 participants in my letterboxing study reported finding letterboxes in all 50 states and in the province of Ontario, Canada. The top three states for letterbox finds were Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Illinois. There were 39 letterboxers who found letterboxes in 20 countries outside of the United States.

65.3% of the participants will search for letterboxes in their state or province.
42.8% will search in their region.
63% will letterbox when travelling.

While 24. 5% are only willing to travel 50 miles or less, 42% said there was no limit to how far they would go to find a letterbox.

Who went with them when they letterboxed?
32% responded that they went alone.
52% with family members.
53% with a friend or groups of friends.
Those that responded with "other" went with their dog, grandchildren, or other letterboxers they had met online.
