Namaste!
The Norwich Bullitn articles was Sunday Sept 17th, in the Active Living
section..
I learned about Letterboxing in college, accidently, I was a comparative
literture student and one of my special areas was late 19th cent. childrens
literature, So i was thinking I'd have to go to dartmoor to do this, and then
it pops up in my own backyard!
I had no truoble conning several freinds to going to EMS at the Crystal Mall
for a letter boxing intro. 0n wens. EMS is taking a bunch of people out Sunday
for hiking and putting out a letter box! I can't wait! Anyone living in the New
London, CT area that is interested can sign up. They are bringing compasses so
if you don't have one that's ok!
Waiting for Sun,
Lethe
