    My folks - whose 52nd anniversary is today (just got off the phone with them) - officially honeymooned in Seattle (my parents met and wed in Detroit, where my Mom is from and my Dad was based from 68-70), but they also had a weekend getaway right after their wedding in Niagara Falls, as it wasn't really much of a drive for them from the Motor City. While they were there, a portion was actually dammed up for some sort of construction project, so they have pictures of a portion of the falls dry.

    Isn't all fishing cold water fishing if your feet are in the water?

    One guess per round, but it’s not the Bahamas. Guesses so far:

    Bbthunderbolt France
    FBarber Mexico
    Pinz412 Germany
    Nc41 Italy
    Whyteboar Canada
    WunderLlama Hawaii
    Also not Bahamas

    Sorry, I can't "like" this post because, well because it's positive on UNC.

    I have no idea if you're my sender, but I immediately felt compelled to assure anyone in the thread that barleywine is always welcome.

    Well, I do have a BA name that is phonetically similar to an organization created by Peter Gabriel.

    Hint #1: We sometimes raise the Jolly Roger around these parts when our stickball team wins a game, but I will not be shipping to one(but he already knew that).

    Hint #2: If you live in the state where my favorite band concluded their most recent proper tour, then you are not my target.

    Hint #3: If you live in the state where this guitar phenom was born, then you are not my target.


    Hint #4: The artist in the previous hint often covers the song in this video. The gentleman on fiddle is an inductee of the National Fiddler Hall of Fame. If you live in the state that is home to the National Old Time Fiddlers' Contest, then you are not my target.


    Hint #5: This one is probably pretty obvious, but if you live in a commonwealth that is not home to 14 peninsulas then you are not my target.

    I didn't do a hint today. I guess I should to keep those who haven't been excluded yet, hopping.

    Hint 14 - You've had more US Presidents born in your state than mine has produced - though, Minnesota at 0, not too hard to do.

    Previous Hints:

    Hint 1 - I have not shipped to my target before.
    Hint 2 - Your city/town is at a lower elevation than mine.
    Hint 3 - Your city/town has a smaller population than where I have my packages delivered, but bigger that where I actually live (Waite Park, MN)
    Hint 4 - Your city/town was founded before mine.
    Hint 5 - My box is leaving my time zone (Central)
    Hint 6 - My target hasn't had Surly Pentagram before, or hasn't reviewed it. That will change.
    Hint 7 - I have been a member of BA longer than my target.
    Hint 8 - My target has posted at least one hint (so far) for her/his target.
    Hint 9 - I have more beer reviews than you do.
    hint 10 - I have never been to your state
    Hint 11 - St. Cloud, MN is/was the home to 2 Lt. Governors of Minnesota (9th, and 44th), and was home to the 4th Governor of Minnesota. Your town/city is not home to any Governors or Lt. Governors of your state.
    Hint 12 - Bad news for some, I'm shipping South and East.
    Hint 13 - Your state was one of the original 13

    Recently, I posted a picture where I credited a former sender (@MacMalt) for having sent me the glassware l was using. Tonight I'm drinking a couple beers from another glass, received from another NBS BIF sender, this one from @ovaltine:

    If the two of you haven't eliminated me yet as your sender, be assured that your porches are safe from me this round. Y'all are NOT my target.

    I'll say Lebanon, because at one time, Beiruit had the reputation of being a more exotic version of the French Riviera.

    Well, I assume you hosted them in Kiribati. Or one of your other exotic locales :wink:

    Why stop there... they should have photoshopped their faces on the landmarks themselves!

    I comply! I had barleywine last night for NBW! I guess this eliminates you as my sender, though, as I think I did mention barleywines as an example of something I really enjoy. Bummer :slight_frown:

    Wait, Peter Gabriel was the one behind WOMAD? That's... huh.

    Oh, and hint #10:
    If you add up the numbers in your zip code, and compare them to the same summation of my own zipcode, well I've got you beat, but it's closer than you might expect.

    This could be dangerous for me depending where you are in your state.

    My zip code summation equals the first digit of your zip code. Confirmed elimination, probably.

    Here in NC for most of the state it’s bass, mountains it’s trout. Too many snakes around here to fish past May.
