Dear John,
Your posting didn't seem off the topic of letterboxing at all. I
particularly like the orienteering aspect of letterboxing - the more
degree readings in the clues, the better I like them.
I haven't participated in any orienteering events, but have managed
to get myself on a mailing list of the Green Mountain Orienteering
Club. They have a series of courses in Montpelier this Saturday and I
am sorely tempted to go. However, my younger son has a little league
game in the morning and my older son a lacrosse game in the
afternoon. Since I am abandoning them (and my transportation
responsibilities) the next week-end, I doubt I will be able to go
this NOD. Maybe over the summer - there are several other dates on
the GMOC flyer.
Thanks for the heads-up anyway. See you soon.

Hi All,
I've been pondering for a couple of days whether to post this or not, then I decided it made sense, so here goes...
This saturday is National Orienteering Day (NOD). Since I was introduced to letterboxing through orienteering, I want to return the favor. For me, the two share some of my passions: the outdoors, maps, compasses, navigation, searching, and just getting out there getting some exercise and having fun.
NOD encompasses over 40 events nationwide geared to beginners and are designed to introduce orienterring to newbies. go to http://www.us.orienteering.org/NOD.html#public for more info.
Sorry if is too off-topic, but truly for me, the 2 (letterboxing and orienteering) go hand-in-hand.
Let me know if naybody tried it.

Sounds like a great hobby....Chicago is too far for me this weekend but
orienteering looks very interesting.

Have you ever wondered about heaven and what the "entrance requirements" are?
There are many theories but you can find out for yourself what the Bible
says. These are just a few passages that explain God's plan:
Acts 2:36-41 Romans 10:17 Matt 10:32-33
Romans 10:9-10 Acts 8:34-38 Acts 2:38 Romans 10:14+
Matt 28:19-20 Mark 16:16
1John 4:3 Matt 10:32 1 Peter 3:21
How do you do that? These passages are good examples of how:
Acts 2:36-38; Romans 6:1-5; Ephesians 2:19; Acts 16:29-33; Acts
22:16 !!!!!
Then: Eph 2:4-5; 2 Cor 5:14-17 & Romans 8:12-14; Eph 4:16
On that last day you can claim your reward: Romans 8:18; Rev 2:10
