MP3 of the Day

Recently, Frank Boscoe from The Gazetteers was featured in Scholastic Math Magazine (Jeff Fell has a subscription) . He wrote a story about his involvement in the World Rogaining Championship in the nation of Estonia. If you're not familiar, Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross-country navigation. Championship rogaines are 24 hours long. They involve both route planning and navigation between checkpoints using a variety of map types. In a rogaine, teams of 2-5 people choose which checkpoints to visit within a time limit with the intent of maximizing their score. While Frank and his teammate, Vesa Keinänen, were no match for the best European teams, they were proud to have covered 62 miles in the 24 hour time frame. Today we have the song Come Play In Aberdeen! (45.27ºn 98.29ºw) by THE GAZETTEERS from the album, Territory Songs released on Magic Marker Records.
