Urgent Guru Gathering Notice!

We just received the following email from Merenwen and Olwe regarding the rescheduling of The Guru Gathering:

Hello Everyone,

I have started getting the e-mail I thought I would be getting when I saw the four days of snow ahead. I would not want any one to be crazy and drive up here for a gathering in such bad conditions, so after much thought, I amchanging the date of the gathering to April 3rd . I am sorry to anyone who has made reservations already but I am doing this for everyones' safety. April 3rd will hopefully bring good weather and an extra hour of daylight. Please e-mail me with any questions and I hope all of you will still be able to make it up then.

Merenwen and Olwe

What is Letterboxing?
Letterboxing enthusiasts hide and hunt weatherproof containers in remote or scenic places. Each container holds a logbook, a rubber stamp and stamp pad. The planter of the letterbox distributes clues to it's location via the internet, Word of Mouth, on websites or via other means. Clues can be easy to difficult. Finding a letterbox may require a combination of skills such as mapreading, orienteering, and puzzle-solving.

Letterboxers carry their own logbook and personal stamp when hunting for hidden boxes. Upon finding a letterbox, they will imprint their own logbook using the found stamp, and leave their own stamping or personalization in the letterbox's logbook. Some artistic letterboxers carve and even design their own stamps and logbooks. Letterboxes are hidden in various locations throughout the world.

Letterboxing has its beginnings in Dartmoor National Park in England, where the first letterbox at Cranmere Pool was placed in 1854 by a Dartmoor guide named James Perrott, who left his calling card in a container there while guiding tourists through Dartmoor.
