    Hint #1 - Shipping East.
    Hint #2 - You have more Untappd check-ins than me. (also CHalberstadt)
    Hint #3 - I have been to your state.
    Hint #4 - At this point, I have posted more hints in this round than my target.
    Hint #5 - My target has not posted a chugs video on Slack in the past week.
    Hint #6 - The animal most recently floated around as a new mascot for my alma mater would kick your state bird’s ass.
    Hint #7 - We both live in suburbs of major cities in our respective states. I live about twice as far from my major city as you, but my hometown has more than double the population of yours.
    Hint #8 - I was very surprised to learn today that while your hometown is geographically south of mine, you have a considerably higher annual snowfall average.
    Hint #9 - If your state is known for a chocolate themed amusement park, I am not your sender.

    Hint 3: I've been to my target's state once in my life, for a single day only
    Hint 4: both mine and my target's states have largest cities that aren't their capitals
    Hint 5: despite having only been to my target's state for a single day, I've spent years in the states bordering it
    Hint 6: also an *LIF ALERT*...I'm a bit of an amateur geography/history nerd, so humor me for the chance at some NE goodness...I went to college within a 350 mile radius of my target's location, to a school named for one of the most important historical figures in the history of which modern-day country? Feel free to post a guess until Sunday, 9/20 10pm EST; first to guess correctly will get a box sent out to them this week. Good luck, all!
