So its me!

 

You're correct.

And, here's how the hints apply to you:

Hint #1 Target A&B:
I've never shipped, or received from either of you.

-That is correct, I haven't-

Hint #2 Target A&B:
I've never been to either of your states, though I've been closer to Target A's state than Target B's.

-Never been to Connecticut, I've been close - I was in Rhode Island back in 2007-

Hint #3 Target A&B:
Both targets I'm shipping to are South and East of me. I was actually surprised that Target A is south of me, but a check of a map confirmed it.

Both of your states were part of the US after the Revolutionary War, either as states, or territories.

-Connecticut was one of the original 13 states-

Target B's state was featured the year my niece was born - 2002

Hint # 16:
CanConPhilly will like this, because there's math, though, easy math involved. I live in the St. Cloud, MN Metro area. The elevation here is around 1030 ft above sea level.

Target A, where you live is around 633 feet lower than I am at.

Target B, where you live is around 1007 feet lower than where I'm at.

Hint #17:

Target A: Rose Wilder Lane, who was a famous writer, lived in your town from the late 1930's, till her death.

-She was the daughter of Laura Ingles Wilder, and she lived her last years there-


Ok, now for clue #18 for target A

Hint #18: Target A

You're seeing and reading and posting here. Maybe you think something has excluded you from me being your sender, you've not been excluded, and I'll go over the hints when you guess. Maybe it's because you've got a lot going on in the next week, something that has been building for 9 months, I'd say, that has distracted you. I don't have any whales, but I'll send you some good beers from Central, MN, Iowa, and Wisconsin, that you can use to celebrate the blessed event that is about to happen. In the past when this has happened, people handed out stogies. Guys used to not be allowed to be around when it happened, they had to wait, and pace in a waiting room.

And this will be my last clue, because it should be very obvious who I'm mentioning.

Hope my target gets it now.

-You're soon to be a dad-



There we go, both targets know who they are, and things will go out fairly soon, based on when my targets are free to receive.

Also, I mentioned getting a call about a package at my apartment yesterday. It was something I ordered, and not due to this BIF.

 

Nice list of clues @Victory_Sabre1973
You move quickly!

 

Haha look forward to it hints 1 and 3 had me pretty sure but after checking the quarters I was sure

 

Hint #5.

 

Hint #5- the driving distance between my targets is greater than the distance from me to either target

 

Hint #1 Shipping East.
Hint #2 I’ve shipped to 1 of you in the past.
Hint #3 You’re both in trouble.
Hint #4 One of my target’s will get their box fairly soon, the other closer to the deadline.
Hint #5 Both of my target's have considerably more UT check in's than I do.
Hint #6 Both of my target's are getting beer from a source that is way closer to you than me.
Hint #7 Target #1 (who I've sent to before), packaging some of your beer right now.
Hint #8 Target #1 just finished with your cans. I couldn't fit them in a flat rate box but @jhavs could, barely. Now on to your bottles, swag and food.
Hint #9, Target #1, Hint #8 was a lie. That was yesterday. Today @jhavs couldn't fit your cans in a flat rate.
Hint #10 I want to visit both of my target's states but for different reasons. Target #2's state to watch some baseball. Target #1's for another reason I'm not going to mention. But if you go a ways back on my UT ticks, you'll find something else I like to do.
Hint #11 Target #2 I have been within 1 hour of your home. But it was back in '97 on my senior high school trip.

 

Was thinking me for a bit but #10 takes me out nobody wants to come here

 

It’s obvious based on your UT ticks that you like to drink beer, so I’m obviously your target since we have good breweries in NY.

 

That could be 1 way to look at it. And all the NY beer I've had has been stellar.

 

I just scrolled through your UT quickly and if I’m reading you correctly, it’s the same reason I have traveled to a lot of states/provinces. Also, you’re on my short list to keep an eye on even though I’m not running a spreadsheet this round.

 

I enjoy them they are just rarely done well

 

only insane people I think...

 

Or maybe people who think jelly>toast. Just sayin...

 

I think I’m out. I don’t know why your senior trip would have been an hour from me in any direction.

 

Yeah that's a pretty safe bet.

 

that would have been a pretty lame senior trip. Unless you wanted to see the worlds largest lake created by an earthquake. Or are an avid duck hunter.

 

I've been going over the hints from the past few days that I skimmed over while fishing.

I'm not much closer, and still have 24 potential senders.

Either that, or I'm fucked and all 24 are sending to me.

 

Is not out of the realm of possibility
