I've seen the article in Somerset magazine and it's basically a shorter
version of the article that appeared in Smithsonian. There are some lovely
photos of the moors and also of Adrian and Tegan. How the business end of
it worked, I have no idea. Would a small magazine pay Smithsonian for the
privilege of a reprint? I don't know, but I was glad to see the hobby get
more exposure before I realized that it might bug Adrian.

On another topic, the Duck Creek letterbox #2 has been hidden as per clue
#2 dictates--I got everything dried out or replaced and it's in hiding once
again. Box #3 is ready to go, but I wasn't all that happy with the
locations I visited yesterday so I'm not sure when it will be out there.
But ya'll will be the first to know!!
