    Hint 1: Technically, I am shipping West.
    Hint 2: you have repeat letters in either your BA user name or your first and last name, or both.
    Hint 3: Definitely shipping South.
    Hint 4: (combination with haul hint) I went to a famous local brewery to pick up a barrel aged beer for your box. It took me about 30 minutes to get there. If I were to drive straight through to your address, it would take me 60 times longer to get there.
    Hint 5: I live in Michigan - as a state it has more international border than yours does.

    At 60 MPH, that would be 1800 miles. I'm out.

    A tangential post.

    Dieu du Ciel! posted the Peché Day locations for Peché Day on May 21st. Lots of US locations this year. I know several of you are fans, particularly @BBThunderbolt whose love of coffee stouts is legendary.

    The list of locations:

    The variants for this year.

    There might be considerable interstate driving involved. That extra 10mph adds up.

    Hint #14
    According to my fb sleuthing, my target is older than me, though I can only assume that, rather than know it absolutely.

    Haul hint
    Although I'm far from finished assembling the beers for smiting down my target's porch, I am happy to report that I could well be sending less beer from neighboring regional states than ever before, due to the increasing amount of reliable local packaged beer. The last two BIFs I participated in featured my sending beers from a state that doesn't border my own but is sorta regionally linked to it. My last two targets had never had beer from that state. My current target does not require that particular cherry to be broken, so it will only be represented if space needs require it, and that is unlikely.

    But, factoring in stops, it's still quite a chore to average 60 MPH over any kind of distance.

    Hint #7

    While you do not reside in New Jersey you have something in common with the demise of my favourite team in March Madness.

    PS. NJ is too far east.

    Not as far east as New Jersey. My name is Peter. Do I need to go back over your clues?. I was sure I’d eliminated you.

    You know, I’m throwing caution to the wind, assuming @snaotheus cryptic O N T A R I O clues are clever or coincidental subterfuge and, despite not having ruled out @superspak , I’m calling out @2beerdogs as my sender!

    Well, if you watch the next until 1:15, and think about what I was screaming at that moment, you may have your answer...

    I’m embarrassed to say I had to watch this twice and think on it a little before I realized you’d be yelling ‘YES!’ In my defence, I’m trying to get my uncooperative son into the bathtub at the moment.

    Excited! I’m:

    I think I know my sender is, what a trail of lost bread crumbs. I hope I am right. I am calling @Coronaeus
