Nope. Both sites appear to be down again today.

I didn't realize until Silent Doug said recently that they are on the
same host. I suppose its worth it for one of them to consider moving
when the contract expires.

It's tough on a Friday to be without clues ... no letterboxing for me
this weekend, I guess. :-(

I'm having problems also - can't get on the site at all again. It
might be a quiet weekend for LBing...

I'm not really sure it would be that much of an advantage since clues
are typically hosted in one place or the other. So even if one site
was working but the other wasn't, as soon as you clicked on the "view
clue" to the other site, the link wouldn't work.

Though, I suppose, at least with one site running at all times, at
least *some* clues would always be accessible rather than none at all.
Hmm.... I had been thinking of moving AQ off of a shared server
anyhow. That might be another reason to do so.

In other news--it never hurts to have a few clues already printed out
for those times when LbNA and/or AQ are inaccessible. ;o) Certainly
don't have to print out all of them, but printing out clues you expect
to use for the next week or so would solve a lot of problems. OR--you
can plant boxes instead. =) And for those people who host clues on
their personal sites, there's always that option. Googling often works
will if you already know the name of the boxes you're interested in.

Happy trails!

I did that last night, out of desperation. And I found a box I hadn't know
about that's along the route we'll be taking for vacation next month!

I use that method already and have found it works well, it helps me
plan out my method of approach....

There is that option too!
