    I am beyond the point of tracking. This has been the hardest BIF to figure out!

    UNRELATED - I am in Charleston for the week. Had dinner and a lot of beer (thanks for driving honey!) at an amazing spot called, Edmond's Oast. I am going to hit the Charleston Beer Exchange today and Westbrook tomorrow. Any other places that are a MUST? The wife is down to let me lead the charge since this weekend is her friends wedding and I will be taking care of the 2 kids while she gets after it as a bride's maid.

    Maybe not in Charleston, but on your way back in VA is Mekong, apparently that is an absolute must.

    Let me second this. I haven't been to Mekong either, but the next time I go through Richmond I definitely am.

    I know that I have been absent for a while. So here is a hint since the first box leaving today. Second box to ship on Tuesday or Wednesday.
    If I were to drive straight thru from door to door, it would take 11 hours and 15 minutes.
    Follow up hint tomorrow.

    Did my packing this weekend for my target and still need a few things before I ship, you are pretty tough to shop for. But my hints have been pretty disorganized so I'll throw out a new one in a nice format for you.

    Hint #1: Shipping North.
    Hint #2: It doesn't look like you have had/want/need/cellar TX beer.
    Hint #3: My target has at least the same or more number of trades than me.
    Hint #4: My target likes football.
    Hint #5: Looks like my target's football teams had a rough weekend 10/4-10/5.
    Hint #6: I may or may not have friended my target on untappd.
    Hint #7: Go relax at the body of water that you live very near to.
    Hint #8: I have been in a BIF with my target previously.

    Hint# 1: Shipping West
    Hint# 2: My target's city would be considered a metropolis by both US and more standard definitions.
    Hint# 3: My alma mater has played a college football game against a university from my target's area in the last 5 years.
    Hint# 3b: My alma mater won their game last night(10/4) against a historically prestigious football university at home and stormed the field in celebration.
    Hint# 4: In 1960, my metro had more than twice my target's metro's population. Now, my target's metro has more population than mine
    Hint# 5: My box will travel more than 1000 miles.
    Hint# 6: My target's city does not have a hockey team.
    Hint# 7: My target's state has multiple participants in this round.
    Hint# 8: My target's state has teams from all 4 "major" sports, but his city does not.
    Hint# 9: My target resides in the same state as my sender in the summer sixer.

    And still seems to be way off target... :slight_smile:

    LIF ALERT

    So my mothers side of the family are from Kansas, thus huge KC Royals fans. Growing up, the Royals were my favorite team (but have since been replaced by the Rangers). I went to the '85 World Series wearing my satin Royals jacket and still have a sizable George Brett baseball card collection. But this this week I am a fan of the Royals again, and in celebration I feel like sharing some KC love.

    If you would like to be the recipient of a six bottle shipper of corked and caged Boulevard beers, please send me your address and post "Go Royals!" somewhere (anywhere - just tell me where you posted it if not in this thread) on BA before the first pitch. At the end if the World Series, I will randomly select someone to receive the package.

    Go Royals!
