Oh my goodness, what have I stepped into!!!

hee hee Well, thanks to FoxNews, I think I am in big trouble. I saw
an article on their website this morning. I glanced it briefly and
printed out a couple places that I was familiar with where I live.
After I did the things that my husband wanted to do for Father's Day,
he indulged me to try and go look to see what this was all about. I
was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO depressed that I couldn't find anything, I
realized that I needed to read up on more stuff, mostly compass
reading and paces.

Anyway, I'm so sure that I'm hooked and I haven't even found my first
box yet. I am a little intimated though, I must say, after reading
some of the cryptic or mystery letterboxes. I had no idea there was
even such a thing.

Hopefully, I'll get the hang of it. My first question is however,
what is the best kind of compass to use? I bought a "lenscratic"
compass today because I was in a hurry to see if it would work. I am
SO SO Lost!!! hee hee I read up on the compass lessons and I don't
have that type of compass. Am I supposed to find due North and then
just go in the direction of degrees or am I suppose to be turning
myself until I get to the degrees?

I could go on, but I really should stop or no-one will answer me.
hahahahaha

I'm so in trouble.
