LBNA Division of Ontario

From: Pete and Erin (jiggs111@earthlink.net) | Date: 2005-07-13 04:28:00 UTC

With the increasing number of boxes being planted in Ontario, I think
consideration should be given to dividing the province into 2 sections
for search purposes.

I'm pretty sure that most folks may not fully appreciate the size of
the province - it can swallow Texas and about a half of Alaska, and
still have room for RI! The US border stretches from just west of the
VT/NY border approximately 1000 miles to western MN. It borders 4 of
the 5 Great Lakes... it has a route to the Arctic Ocean through Hudson
Bay...in other words, the place is huge!

So, I'm asking the folks that look after these sort of things to
divide the province into Southern Ontario and Northern Ontario. As
more and more boxes are placed, perhaps we can further divide into
Sotheast, Central, and Southwest.

Cheers, Pete aka Jiggs

Jiggs,

Granted that Ontario is huge, However our guidelinse for dividing
regions is based on number of boxes, not distance between letterboxes.
Ontario has 85 boxes on LbNA, which is a comfortable number for one
region. You might want to resort to the old fashioned approach of
putting a map of Ontario up on the wall and sticking pins in it to see
the relative locations of the letterboxes.

Cheers,
Choi

Or you can put electronic "pins" on a map using a package such as
Microsoft Streets & Trips (although I'm not sure if it covers Canada).
This is a very useful mapping program that Lightin' Bug recommended to
us.
