The Official Western New York Gathering Page

(last updated on June 29, 2007)

                                                                                                  

This page will take you to all the letterboxing events, past and present, that have been held in Western New York, which includes anything near the Buffalo/Niagara or Rochester area. The first gathering was held in 2003 with the entire letterboxing community at the time (meaning Team Dakota and Dagonell the Pirate were all there!). The Highlander and I began hosting gatherings in 2004 and out of deference to the virtual parents of WNY boxing, we called our first gathering the SECOND one!

 

At any rate, all the info on these gatherings is posted here. We’ve listed the gatherings in chronological order and added links to both the webpage and the clue page we created for each. We’ve also included a link to the Atlas Quest event page for those interested in uploading pictures or seeing who was in attendance that day. The first chart is for the yearly events we’ve held, while the second is for mini meets and other gatherings that’ve been held in between in the WNY area (Note: Some of the events in the second chart were not hosted by us, so we don’t have as much info on them.).

 

Enjoy and feel free to contact us with any questions (or corrections!)
