    Hint 1: Shipping to a state I've never been to
    Hint 2: Shipping North
    Hint 3: Willy Wonka
    Hint 4: Ryan, KC, Joey, David , Adam, etc.
    Hint 5: your box will travel via I-95, I-75 or both, while in Florida
    Hint 6: I'll tick at least 5 of your current wants...and they're not all from Florida
    Hint 7: your state has at least one well known lake and at least one well known river...you live much closer to a well known river

    Box is on it's way...two more hints...

    Hint 8: Box should arrive Wednesday after traveling about 1150 miles
    Hint 9: Including extras (but not including brewery swag) should hit at least 7 wants

    Still guessing one of 3 people from 2 states for my sender....

    This could be me. Google says it's ~1200 miles driving from Miami to Cincinnati.

    Agree with Kyle - I'm about 50 miles from you I guess (no handshake tick yet, wah wah) so I'd say either one of us is in the strike zone.

    I kind of ruled him out on Hint 7 though (unless Lake Erie is counted?)

    Today some bad news came to light in regards to the bottle I had marked for Day #5 for my target. It is now possibly infected. That's sad on a couple levels. On draft at the brewery the day it was released it tasted excellent. Also, I still have one left for myself that I now have to go turn in and exchange for a free growler of any of their other beer.

    So, dearest Target, I'm packing up another box in the next couple days with a replacement along with your candy. When Day #5 comes around, I'll leave it up to you as to how to proceed. You'll have two bottles. You don't have to drink both, but you certainly can if you want. And if the original bottle for that day proves to be infected, you can dump it and rinse the bad taste out of your mouth with the back up bottle.

    I hope your original bottle for Day #5 isn't infected. I was excited for you to try it. Regardless, I'll make it up to you just in case.

    Hint 6: Snacking on a delicious treat you sent me, tastes like a crunchy syrup-covered pancake.

    Leave it up to a damn Newblocal to send infected bottles around the group :slight_smile:

    I'd down to 3 possible shippers. Still think @SRBush1974 is the lead dog. Not sure if I missed any clues from @maljay26 but I don't have any written down? @corm44 is still in the hunt.

    I'm shipping on Monday target, you know who you are

    @BartS just drank one. How was that barrel-aged coffee stout I sent in the latest box to you? The one in the same size and shape bottle that Bottle Logic uses.

    I'm planning to send a back up bottle, some candy, and some extras tomorrow to my target, who should be receiving the main box today.

    Actually, both my targets should be getting boxes today. Yes, both. I have two targets.

    How's the weather in Florida and Connecticut? Sunny with a chance of a box on your porch, I hope.

    Coolest ninja box to grace this porch. Inside the main box was 4 expertly packaged smaller boxes containing some great stuff. Wow, have wanted to try that Black Gold for a long time. The other bottles are fantastic as well, mostly new ticks for me which I enjoy! Even had candy for the Halloween season! Thanks man. No porch is safe! I don't remember if I put the Black Gold down on my Wish List but I have a feeling I did and this is what happened. Cheers! :slight_smile:
