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!
