All ~10 quasi-active letterboxers you mean?
At least we have lots of muggle-free places to plant the boxes. Now if we could only keep the bears away from the event...

When you have to list the Alaskan Brown Bear as a letrterboxing nuisance animal that will give people pause!

Well, first you have to write an email to the Renegades and prove that you are a valid and worthy letterboxer in order to receive an email 3 weeks later with the details of how to find the poll...

Oh come on, who doesn't enjoy a 3-4 day drive from the Canadian border to Anchorage to spend a weekend then drive back?!?
I hope we are at least ahead of North Dakota since we actually have more boxes here. And letterboxers too I suspect.

Don't blame the Alaskans for that one. After an Alaskan wrote that L&B wouldn't happen in Alaska, I suggested having an event in Alaska (in August) and see who comes.

Are you saying that there are no letterboxes to find in between? Where are the Canadians to refute that?

Here is the latest poll results.....
Michigan - 76
Colorado - 71
Ohio - 53
Virginia - 40

Well that practically accounts for all the letterboxers in Canada except myself since I don't know where to vote.
(BTW we have these things we call provinces - and territories too - might help to refine things a bit. Suggests to me that the 11 people that voted were not from Canada)
Anyway, since "we" are so far back in the poll, no hope of seeing L&B in Canada in 5 years from now, so here's hoping it will be in Michigan which just happens to be right next door to Canada (I suppose Ohio is as well but it's way across that one lake)

Why would 23 people vote for Rhode Island? We can't physically fit the 300 attendees into the state!

First, you have to register to vote. Don't worry, it's a simple form to fill out that asks you stuff like your name, address, place of birth, mother's maiden name, income and a two-page essay about what makes Live and Breath so special.
Before election day, a ballot will be mailed. This is a vote by mail thing. It's wonderful. No long lines at polling stations and is less costly to run and leaves an auditable paper trail critical to a well-functioning democracy.
You'll be expected to return it (make sure there's sufficient postage) with five samples of LTCs. Your vote counts double if there's a twenty included.

There you have it from Green Tortuga, so get your money in if you want us to change the results! We are tabulating all the mail in ballots and should have the results on Monday. We did get some from Mexico, but those were thrown away. Canada....wow, sold out and transferred all votes to Michigan.
Rhode Island has moved into second Place!
More to come!!

I've only planned and listed my events into 2021 so far. So if Rhode Island wins, I guess I can host.
If it doesn't win, I'll host a pity party anyway!

Bon Echo only sold himself out to Michigan. I want to throw all our votes to Niagara Falls and we can do both sides of the border at once. The boxes might be a little wet.
