NBS BIF #17 Hints and Hauls: Subaru Drivers Won't Keep Us From Our Magic Water Breakfast

My sender list is down to six with three getting close scrutiny …need additional data to identify the culprit

 

Hint #8 continued: Yet again, if this is your state, you're not my target:

Yes. Hint #8s is MIA so I tried to redo it last night, only to find BA wouldn't let me put 4, 3, or even 2 photos in a post. Also, the two single posts with one photo each wouldn't load. So I'll try again tonight with the remaining 2 for hint eight. If that works, then I'll attempt hints #10.

 

Annnd two more failures to post photos. I'm either going to have to rethink my strategy or drop out.

 

Still can't get a handle on my sender, beginning to think it's one of the basically absent players from this board. Unless I've radically misinterpreted hints from those of us actively participating.

 

After careful consideration of all the clues of which I can make sense



I've narrowed it down to two candidates, @Ozzylizard and @2beerdogs... Derek, did I get lucky enough to draw you as my sender again?

 

OK dammit - this time uploading a photo worked, so yet one more try for the balance of hint 8:


One of my favorite vacation spots - it's Gorge-ous!

 

Wait, did you really manage to exclude me as a possible sender?

 

And the final part of hint #8:


Visited this last summer.

 

Yesssss, based on Hint #6. My favorite local breweries would be Hoppin' Frog, Jackie O's, and until recently, 5 Stones, "local" being a relative term.

 

I have no idea but it's whatever I use daily for WBAYDN and works fine then.

 

Well, I think I'll press my luck and, in a tribute to Thorstein Veblen, let's look at some glaring examples of conspicuous consumption. Hint #10: If one of these is in your state, you're not my target:


Never been here.


Toured this.


Haven't been here yet.


Haven't been here either.

 

I forgot about that. I hadn't really given any hints that were remotely aimed at you or anyone else then, so perhaps I didn't think you were serious.

As for now...

I am genuinely curious about what the hell is going on in that one

 

Did you just call @2beerdogs and yourself out?

 

The crowds there nowadays are unreal compared to when I was a kid. Sometimes there's simply no parking left to be had there, and you just have to abandon going there.
