    I'm guessing 1999 pictures! Thanks for the chance. I am on my way home from Boston and I hope my target likes IPAs as much as I do

    Got a sneak preview of @MikeMcGraw's box for his target... I'm thinking someone is going to be very happy.

    Content hint for my target: I'm including a bottle that rhymes with Shmarshmaic.

    Northern NJ, 10 minutes from Giants stadium, about 1.5 hours from Philly. Get back there every now and then with some college buddies. So I'll be on the lookout when I'm down there next! Thanks!

    38 lbs. of porch wrecking goodness due to my target on Wednesday! Had my GF drop this bad boy off at UPS and was worried she wouldn't be able to carry it!

    I am back there quite often. If you need me to pick some up for you- we could work something out.

    Just let me know when you're coming to town and we'll grab a pint! At the very least I can direct you where to go.

    Well, I'm finally done with my trips, so can focus the energy on putting together the box for my target.

    On the other end, I think my possible senders down to @Eziel, @JNForsyth or @VetsPackage, with various degrees of certainty..

    Hint #1 - Shipping west
    Hint #2 - I have shipped to this state before
    Hint #3 - My target is not one of the more prolific posters in this thread
    Hint #4 - Target's state is bordered by water
    Hint #5 - Not shipping to @andreizm

    As an aside, I wanted to compliment this group on being active across the board, not a single participant has posted less than a handful of times in here, which is more than I can say for a lot of BIFs even after 2 weeks from when targets went out.

    My box is leaving tomorrow. Should be a 2 day trip I'd guess and from what I've seen, I think my target has done a good job figuring out the clues. Sorry @andreizm , you will not be getting Ohio goodies...... this time!

    UPS ruining all the fun and sending my box to a UPS store for pickup because my target has a weird address, bummer. Target has been notified, sorry @andreizm the hunt continues!

    Tough break thinking you had it narrowed to 3 and finding out it's none of those three.... back to the drawing board! I'm actually really curious what got you to eliminate your real sender, but of course I can't ask that too directly without giving it away.

    Yep, going to have to go through my spreadsheet and see what I missed.

    My figures have it narrowed to 2 possibles. 1 strong possibility from FL and one from CA with just a couple hints.... hmmm?

    I think one issue may be the one I raised earlier: whether CA is wets or south-west from states like MI or MA.

    Keep in mind, your sender has your address, and if they're going to play games like whether or not you're South of them, they aren't going to use "the state of CA", they'll use your exact location. I would not rule out anyone that is AT ALL North of you that says "Shipping South". At most I'd put them in the "unlikely" column.

    Okay, after reviewing the hints I think where I failed is in interpreting "city is bordered by two different bodies of water". So now I have a reasonably good guess as to who my sender is, but I'll keep it to myself to avoid further humiliation in case I'm wrong. :slight_smile:
