Of course. Thank you, Jay. Like Merlin and Frodo and Sherlock and all
our other favorite characters. I know you didn't mean to suggest that
there was anything even the least bit odd about us - just
interesting, as you say.
I also would recommend the Fond Farewell boxes in Newport. The bird
sanctuary is a beautiful spot, with lots of nice surf around it.
Compass requirements are fairly minimal.
Hope you can make it to the May gathering. Welcome to the list, in
any case.

Hello again (we emailed a couple of weeks ago) and welcome to the
mailing list! Yes, your mail to LBNA goes to about 100
interested/interesting folks who like to rummage around in the
outdoors for hidden treasures. We've only met Tom from VT so far, and
he, at least, is DEFINATELY a character!
For your son on the Newport trip, we recommend the "Fond Farewell"
boxes at the Norman Bird Sanctuary. There is some compassing for
them, but it's really straightforward and kids, especially young
boys, love the ridge line hiking. That whole nautical thing on
the "Land Sailing" box is just fluff and creative writing: the
directions are really meant to be pretty easy to follow. It is a
fairly long walk for younger kids, but we actually placed the box on
bicycles and our 4 young ones loved it.
The "Gathering" weekend is May 13 - 14, at Rocky Neck State Park in
East Lyme. We've also got a couple of people coming who may bed and
breakfast it at a close by inn instead of camp. We'll enjoy the
weekend meeting each other, hiking, exchanging stamps, and having a
great time. My 8 year old son Ned would LOVE it if Colin came! Please
do! Our email is drewclan @ aol.com, or, you can call us at (860)739-

Thanks for your encouraging words and welcome to the list!
