TLNBIFF Hints and Hauls

I gave up an even trying to figure out who is shipping to me.You'd think two senders would make it easier I'm assuming that my sender would not be on the east coast, but who knows. From the clues it doesn't sound like anybody who's posted is shipping to me. Maybe I have been assigned two silent porch assassins or shipping ninjas

 

Hint for Targets: I am not sending to emottram, so it could be several of the rest of you.

Hint Target 1: I have not shipped to you before but have been in several other bif's with you recently.

Hint target 2: this guy is pretty quiet but I hear is a fantastic trader.

More detailed hints coming later this week

 

Are ya ready for some football?!? Target #2 acquired and ready to be shipped to the county with the largest number of farms in the U.S.

 

BOXES DELIVERED TO FEDEX! TIME FOR MORE HINTSSSSSSSSS!
Hint 1: My targets are participating in this BIFFFFFFFF
Hint 2: Listen to me if it please thee, I've riddles like a jester: West of me one target be, and t'other is even wester
Hint 3: The state of one of my targets begins with a consonant, and the other with a vowel
Hint 4: I have never been to either of my target's states, layovers at airports notwithstanding. However, I will be visiting Target #2's state over the long weekend. During my visit I will also be attending my first ever Renaissance Faire, where my singular goal will be to locate and consume a turkey leg that is at least as large as my forearm.
Hint 5: My targets are in adjacent states and it would take 4.5 hours to drive from one to the other. Or just over an hour to fly, apparently for $334. Wow, new Google Maps is CRAZY!
Hint 6: Unlike me as a kid, I'm sure neither of my targets had to use "HOMES" or other mnemonics to remember the names of the Great Lakes since their states both touch them.
Hint 7: One target's state begins with an "I", while the other target's state has two "I"s in it, and kind of looks like a mitten.

 

Ok, boxes are set to land in 2 days so I might as well flood the SHIT out of this thread with more hints.

Hint 8: One target's state is home to a college team sporting a 4-legged mammal mascot of the order Carivora, while the other target's state is home to a multi-MVP award winning Hall of Fame NBA basketball player known for clutch shooting that helped put them near the top of all-time scoring list in NBA history.

 

Two biznezz days, so hopefully they'll land by Friday

 

Target 1 - his city is home to a very, very large television, of sorts. Well I guess it's not technically in the city, but close enough.

Target 2 - right on the Pacific Ocean.

 

Oh boy...Kwaide puts together an awesome box!

 

Target one would take me 275 hours if I rode a bike and took the Cowboy Trail.

Target two's city has recently been active signing some professional sport people.

 

Not me. The Cubs haven't signed a professional any time this year.

 

I can take you off the list. NM doesn't have a single Pro sports team.

 

Just before bed hint: Both of my partners and one of my targets has posted in this thread. The other target must be checking their joist hangers for pre-existing signs of structural damage.

 

I see someone is shipping to the mitten!!!! Yay!

Just checking the land by date, and kinda stoked to see it is the day before MI summer beerfest. My buds & I always do a small tasting pre-game so I'm excited to get some goodies to share.

 

So sadness of not joining the BIF may start on Friday? Can't wait to see the boxes that I am not getting haha

 

sending my first box today to the place where the queen without a king rides a white mare in the footsteps of dawn. This package will be (mostly) the lighter side of beer.

I got over zealous with the packaging and forgot to add a note inside the box saying who it is from...doh! The clue is I am the only one from CT.

 

Don't forget there are two of us from the Mitten! :-)

 

Is it sacrilege to point this out?

 

lol lol lol

 

Middle-earth?
