Quite some time ago, this same question was discussed on the forum,
as to the what the dates were when these adventures were supposed to
have taken place. The entry below was offered by someone, whose name
I regret did not get saved, but it is not from me. Maybe someone will
recognize this text and lay claim to it. But for what it is worth,
I copy it here from my saved archives as perhaps a basis of further discussion. The schedule shown here seems to make sense to me.
Anybody recognize this as theirs?
