OK... I know this started out as a blog on living in Montana but... I needed a place to put my 101 in 1001 list so it's going here.

The idea behind 101 in 1001 is that you meet 101 goals/do 101 tasks in 1001 days.  My start date is today (August 12, 2006) and my ending date is May 9, 2009.  Adding to the fun of this is the promise that for every goal I do not complete, I will put $1 in my changejar on WhatGoesAround.Org donate $1 to the Heifer Project.  That way, I have some incentive to accomplish all this and there's a benefit to the world for those things that I don't do.

So here are my goals/tasks:

001. Do some letterboxing.
002. Camp at least 5 times.
