    There is one state on the east coast that I could drive to, but prefer to fly, that has Wawa.

    Shipping 112 oz. out to my target as a warning shot tomorrow. If my target has listened to any albums on the Matador Records label, he may know that my favorite album of all time is an indie rock record from a band from his state that came out in June of 1994.

    That's probably incredibly obvious to about 1% of us and utterly useless to the rest.

    When I was big time into hip-hop in the late 90's and early thousands, I remember these guys putting out some hip-hop stuff too. Completely blanking on the artists though.

    I think I know what state you're shipping to.

    It's not hip hop. If that helps.

    OK Lucy, let me esplain:

    Hint #1:

    For hint number one
    send toward the setting sun
    beer from TX and PA

    Translation: I'm shipping west. In virtually every NBS I mention the weather in NW PA, so everybody east of the Susquehanna river is out

    Hint #2:

    Mississippi passed
    box will journey further west
    following the sun

    Translation: still shipping west, now west of Mississippi River

    Hint # 3:

    South of the big trees
    Near Marlowe's old noir place
    North of the rich mouse

    Granted, this one is more cryptic. My target should know where some big ass trees are. Marlowe and noir both refer to the 40s film noir and Philip Marlowe. Marlowe's stomping grounds was basically California in the Los Angeles area. Know any mice involved with large sums of money?

    Last and most specific:

    Coyotes renamed
    for other mammal not dead.
    Alas poor mammals!
    For Smilodon and Baleen,
    forgotten, forever gone.

    [​IMG]

    This is totally specific for my victim, er, target. A local park renamed, a local museums' exhibits of prehistoric life forms, and a photo of the inside of the museum.

    So yeah, I guess, cryptic except to the One who is the local Keymaster.

    If it's any consolation, I have no idea who is my sender - any sports references are terra incognita to me and a lot of the rest of the clues are too vague to be helpful.

    Recap above. Today's hint sticks to the music references above:

    In 1999, a group from my target's state released a song with Erykah Badu.
















    And today's hint: My target's state legislature is currently in session.[/QUOTE]

    You already told me you weren't my shipper, so I just felt like finding out to whom you were sending. Nosey as all hell.

    Agreed. They don't make it as far as western PA.

    Just noticed my recap came out weird. Sorry about that. Hints should all still be there, just in a weird order.

    Nice recap, and while I do recall and fit most of them, I think there is at least one that knocks me out - so it seems @thebeers may have figured out something, as have I.

    Assuming the internet is correct about local stuff and that I can read a map...
