    Could be me? I don't drive one yet, but I do work for one of them lol. Also regarding your last hint, I live in a city that has 34 lakes and all my streets are named after them haha. So in my case I am never more than a half mile from water.

    I just sent my box to my target today. All Michigan stuff of course. Headed to a very mountainous area.

    Update: package was dropped off at UPS today. Chewbacca is going to have his hands full. :wink:

    (If a couple brews I had been waiting on drop this week, then I'm going to USPS them on over, as well. I really wanted to get them in, but I didn't want to delay shipping any longer.)

    BINGO!

    Also, if @Roguer was comfortable shipping today and he's in CT, then I guess I should just stop worrying and shut up.

    I'll ship tomorrow, regardless of the 22° high temp.

    Our temp tomorrow is the same, but I don't imagine the box will still be around here at that point. Today it's been above 30 for us down here the entire day. I was a little bit more uncomfortable shipping on Saturday, because if it sat around through Sunday, that could have been two pretty cold days in a row.

    Don't know about your area, but our highs are predicted to be back in the 30s starting Wednesday.

    So who out there is still in the dark? Or do we know everyone's target now (FYI, @ZebraCakez was mine, for everyone else's information).

    I'm still clueless here, narrowed it down to 2 but that's about as far as I got. A lot clues work for me and my cohort as well

    I have no idea at this point, thought I did but a hint has thrown me off a bit.

    I still don't know who mine is, and my target may still not know, since he hasn't posted on this thread since before Christmas.

    My target works in an industry I know nothing about. The reason I know this, is that a work address was chosen as the shipping address.

    I'll go out on a limb and say @superspak my sender, best fit of any I've seen so far and I'm pretty low on options now.

    Just solidified my last beer for the box today with my first trip to three floyds... it might be pale and bitter, but not dusty (unfortunately :slight_frown:, I tried)

    My target has never had any of their beer according to this site.

    Last hint, My target's town only has two places rated on this site and one is a brewing co named after the town.

    Ok really last hint. If you were a fan of the geographically closest hockey team to you, then you might own a Sydney Crosby jersey.

    Your box goes out this week.

    It's all good man. I left a ton of hints and I knew my person wasn't going to see them anyways for a while. When I'm not out on the road or in meetings I sit in front of a computer most of the day, so naturally I spend a lot of time on here. Can't wait to get some beer, unfortunately I'll be out on the road on Wednesday so I won't get to see what I got until I get back in later in the day, that sucks.

    @BigRedDog I have a trade in the works and I'll be swinging by a brewery for a super fresh release on Wednesday night, if everything goes as planned I'll ship Thursday for a Saturday delivery if that works for you.

    Since the delivery day is nearing, figure I'd better drop a hint that puts the target on alert so to speak, so last hint:

    I'm certain that your town is a very pleasant and safe place to visit, but I would want to avoid visiting the country that shares your town's name. You know, for fear of all the unsafeness.......
