Check out my TEDX Talk about letterboxing :

In her TEDxRoseburg talk, Marisa Fink will get viewers as
intrigued as she is about letterboxing, a little known
but growing outdoor activity where participants hide
small, weatherproof boxes containing a logbook
and a carved rubber stamp in publicly accessible
places and post clues to finding the boxes
online.We’ll learn about the emergent interactions
that occur in activities such as letterboxing, and
its cousin geocaching, and how connections
between participants, despite no organizing body
or directive, result in new behaviors and new ways
of thinking. Marisa is the CEO/executive director of the YMCA
of Douglas County in Roseburg. She earned her
master’s and doctorate degrees in Adult, Higher
and Community Education from Ball State
University, Indiana, where she served on the
Communication Studies faculty for four years.
In 2006 she published her research on emergent
interaction in A Descriptive Study of Letterboxing
in North America. This talk was given at a TEDx event on Roseburg, OR.

So, how did you get to give a TEDx talk?

Very cool! Congrats.

We discovered lbing via Tangleboxing in our county during the summer months. We ran into a lber and she introduced us to lb. That was in 2009 and we still love it. My husband travels and if he has the time, he'll look for one. Love getting out and exploring new areas =)

I found my first 2bentriders' box in Roberts Park in 2004--image is on the first page of my first logbook. Trailstompers (aka Nursewanderseek) and I are still at it. She talks about your adult ed class from back in '04 in the video attached to my AQ profile and I remember filling out that survey. So glad you're still out there encouraging people to wander in the woods.

That is wonderful.

Nice job. Great way of presenting the hobby to people who don't know anything about it.

Well, that was just plain fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for spreading the word about letterboxing and sharing the link with us! Great talk!

great presentation. thanks for sharing with us, and hopefully with new blood.

This was fantastic!! My sister lives in Winston and I will be looking for this box the next time I am down there. Thank you for spreading the word about letterboxing, my obsession!

Wicked!! Nice job (:

Great talk, thanks for sharing! Awesome to see Letterboxing on TEDx :-)

So, the organizers of TEDxRoseburg, a locally organized TED event, put out a call for speakers late last year. They narrowed the field of 49 applicants to 37 who were invited to audition. Then they picked 15 of us. Look for one near you if you have an "IDEA WORTH SHARING."

OH! So good to hear from you! Happy Trails!

Found the box ☺
