    There it is! We have a winner! I figured the hint would help a bit but there were a few cities where I did a underground tour and a few where I got to take a Segway tour and at least 2 where I got sailing lessons...so I figured it wouldn't give it away 100% but this was the correct combination!

    My cousin is getting married this weekend in Wyoming on a ranch in the middle of nowhere so it just wasn't feasible to go, but there are lots of other weddings to attend by the end of the year.

    Thanks for playing and I'll try to get the first spin of the wheel done later tonight!

    Cheers!

    man, I'm getting spoiled here. a second box just arrived... completely loaded with stuff I've heard about, but have never tried. several "wants" were hit with this box (just like the one from Sidebordz)

    Based on the MI address, I presume it's from TheGr8BeerState?

    My wife and I both thank you - we took turns unwrapping each bottle and geeking out over each one.

    Here's the picture:

    Green Flash - Linch Pin
    Jolly Pumpkin - de Viento
    Arbor Brewing - Blonde ale
    Arbor Brewing - Michael Faricy's Stout
    Founders - KBS
    Bell's - Two Hearted Ale
    Bell's - Oarsman Ale
    Short's Brew - Captain Fantasy
    Jolly Pumpkin - La Roja Grand Reserve
    Bell's - Batch 1000

    Really excited by this... not only are some of these beers longtime wants of ours, but I recently found out that my brother and his fiancee (both beer geeks) will be visiting us this weekend. He's usually the one introducing me to new things... I can't wait to share these. Thank you so much.

    PS - I'm aching to send someone a box now. Hopefully this BIF continues for a while and I get to return the generosity (either to the original sender or to a new target...)

    Glad you like it! When I saw your wants list I knew I just HAD to send a box since I could hit several of them. I hope you guys have a fun tasting!

    BTW, I am now convinced Beer Karma is real! After sending that box things have been looking up for me. Not only beer related, but in general I have had great luck the last 2 days!

    Beautiful! Glad this seems to be working. Thank you TheGr8BeerState for your generosity...you will also be getting Bonus Points! Since you were not eliminated from the competition prior to sending the box, you get a Blunder Token instead! If you ever make a mistake and I eliminate you for a logic error, you can redeem it for entry back into the competition. You can also use it on someone else if you are feeling generous. In addition, youare now eligible for the "Beer Karma" Prize Box! Only those who earn their way into this drawing are eligible for this prize. So congrats!

    I'll award points later tonight and of course we'll get to your "spin"! Then we'll start round 4.

    Points:
    Mathematizer gets 1 "Karma" Bonus Point for posting the hint to everybody.
    Mcaulifww gets 1 "Lurker" Bonus Point...way to stick around.
    Jaminjohnson gets 3 "Right State of Mind" Bonus Points for guessing Wyoming first.
    TheGr8BeerState gets 8 "Advocate" Bonus Points for sending a box to The Target.
    Sidebordz gets 10 "Advocate" Bonus Points for being the first to send a box to The Target.

    The Spin:
    TheGr8BeerState - send me a BM with a number between 1-18 which will correspond with a prize on the wheel. I am getting another number from another BA participating in this LIF (secretly, which can be verified later) and then I will add the two numbers and count around the circle until I reach that number which will be your prize.

    i just hope whoever uses that token remembers to enter "up up down down left right left right b a start" at the proper moment so they don't find themselves in that situation again
