We could not agree more. When we started, we really kept quiet for
several months to find our niche and see how this game is played. Our
goal has been to have fun, spend time in nature, and meet new
people. So far we're 3 for 3.

We're fortunate enough to have mentors like Drew Clan, Pat and Amy,
Butterfly, Bluebird, etc in our neck of the woods....all have been
helpful and more than willing to take us under their wing.

Its unfortunate to see the verbal assaults that some of our founding
US Letterboxers have taken recently. We can certainly see why Phyto
has taken clues underground when newbies take the "i don't care who
the hell you are" stance. Can't say I blame ya phyto!

Hey, I'm here to lean. New ! I am new as they come. I don't even know
what letterboxing means. I wrote in a previous post about my ignorance
of letterboxing and asked for an explanation. I don't flame anyone, more
especially the ones that have been here much longer than I. It is not my
style. Thanks for any help you may give me. floyd
