Questions:
Is it rain or shine?
What are the area boxes we should bring clues for? That would be a
reasonable day- we're good for 8+- miles on our feet.
We've never actually made it all the way into Mansfield (did some
around Coventry & Tolland). I have some older clues printed already,
but haven't printed any clues at all since the new site went up --
clues are still unavailable in Netscape. That means I have to spend
some time copy/pasting into MSWord, then removing all the hard
returns--you can imagine how that excites me.
Thanks!

Hi all,
The Alphabet Bandits too are considering coming. We are actually thinking about doing both the CT (21st) and the PA (28th) events. They are equidistant from home (2 1/2 hours) We will be leaving for Camp shortly thereafter, and probably won't get any boxing ops until Mid August.
We too would appreciate knowing exactly which boxes are do-able, and approx how many are appropriate for 7 kids ranging from 3 - 7. Don't let the 3 year old fool you... she's more of a trooper than the 10 and 11 year olds... the older ones have more whine than Ernest and Julio Gallo!
Same goes for PA. We'd really be greatfulf or the help.
Talking Talking Turtle...
PS .. we finally saw a stamp today we recognized... Howdy Rubaduck!
