Thanks for the welcome - I'm hoping everyone makes my life VERY easy so I have nothing to ever moderate in this section
For what it's worth, I've never posted any of my "searches" here because..... well, quite frankly, they aren't worthy as much more than some scenic hikes in the Superstitions.
I still owe Somehiker photos from my trip last fall, but after that I'll put together a thread or two of my hikes and I'll try to make them at least somewhat relevant to the LDM.
SH - congrats on the honor you're being bestowed! I haven't followed the "Ark of the Covenant" stories for at least a few years, but I did read "The Sign and the Seal" by Graham Hancock where he promotes the story of the true Ark being kept in a church in Axum Ethiopia. It was a really thought provoking story.
I look forward to reading some of your experiences!
