For those of you interested in Dartmoor letterboxing, there are a couple of
books on the subject that have been published in the UK. They're not
available from any US booksellers that I know of, but you can order them
from Amazon.co.uk (http://www.amazon.co.uk/) and they will ship them to the
US. Because they're published by small publishers, Amazon.co.uk doesn't
always have them in stock, so it can take a month or longer for them to arrive.
The search engine on the site won't turn up all the available titles if you
just search on "letterboxing," though, so here are some of the titles you
should look for:
Let's Go Letterboxing
Cranmere Pool: the First Dartmoor Letterbox
101 Dartmoor Letterboxes: But Not How to Find Them!
Dartmoor Letterboxes
More Dartmoor Letterboxes

Trip to Dartmoor

Debby and I are back from our trip to Dartmoor! We had a fantastic time and
I hope to get back there when there is less grass!!!! The high grasses made
it hard to find rocks and boxes!
Unfortunately, due to severe weather and missing boxes, we did not make it
into the Dartmoor 100 club on this visit. Though I have not made a finally
official tally, we found over 80 boxes in 4 days. Chris and Louise hope that we
can come back soon so we can get the last 20 or so. On our second day in
Dartmoor, we got out to Barn Hill to find that the weather coming in from the west
was becoming quite worse. We could really see the thunder and rain coming in
very hard! We decided that rather than being on the top of a barren hill in a
thunder storm, we hiked off of the moor and spent the day driving around in
the car.
If any of you know Louise Donovan, she was the British boxer doing a
dissertation on letterboxing, she sprained her ankle on our last day of boxing in
Dartmoor. Instead of finding some last few boxes, we had to slowly hike out two
kilometers to the car. If you would like to send her some get well wishes,
send them to: lmd2@aber.ac.uk
Soon, I hope to have a website of pictures up and running from our trip.
Anyway, Dartmoor was beautiful and I definitely hope to get back there soon. For
those who know me fairly well, you know that I would love to live in England,
and this trip definitely solidified that for me! As a matter of fact, Chris
(Louise's dad) asked again if I was looking into finding a job in England. I
think he's going to keep a lookout for a music job for me.
Anyway, we're back in one piece and will tell you more in the near future!

Well done Music Woman! Sounds fabulous!

Hi Music Woman
Glad to see your back. Im glad to hear that you had a
good time. Please dont leave us in in the USA. England
is nice but you would miss us and we would miss you.
Take care and see you on the trails.

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
