I found plenty, but the in-depth coverage was almost all (co-)written by Steven Glazer, one of the inventors of the Vermont programme. Hello Sbglazer (talk · contribs)!
It took Hall 2011, pp. 2, 100 to put this into proper context. This is letterboxing transported to the United States in 1989 before the U.S. came to commonly know it by that name in 1998. It clearly is out of context here standalone, so much so that the nominator could not locate sources on it. (The other two particpants here do not mention what steps they took to look.) Our article on letterboxing barely touches upon the "pre-Smithsonian" version in the U.S., and could do with some of this.
Personally I would merge it there, much of it being verifiable from Hall 2011, pp. 2, 100 which states more than this article even does (such as that this was the first U.S. letterboxing programme by a decade), and redirect this to the obvious quest. No deletion by an administrator required.
