How can I get a list of the LbNA events?
There are no events listed on LbNA. The only major listing for letterboxing events is here on Atlas Quest. You can access events from the Event Calendar link in the Toolbox menubar option.
Actually, LbNA listed gatherings on the original chat list at Yahoo in the early years of letterboxing. The original chat list for Letterboxing North America is still active and now there is a link to it in the menu: Home > Yahoo! Letterbox-USA.
