There’s the bell. Whew! I sort of like the “race” idea where there’s a deadline, so I think we may stick with some sort of time deadline for awhile.

All that work for just a little wisp next to a road. I sort of liked this one still, because it looked like many things. Ghost, fire, fog, smoke, google defect, take your pick!

It’s located in Custer State Park, which I hadn’t heard of, in South Dakota. It took quite a bit of searching for many… the average time needed for the early solvers was more than an hour. But they did it without the “Hwy 16″ clue which is pretty amazing. Charlie E. wrote:

Yeah… after the slow start to this one, I thought I’d better drop the second clue fast. Things picked up after that. Though the clue overall was harder than some earlier ones, some people evidently enjoyed the time wasted. Kyle M. said:

… 15 minutes during finals week. great time waster, lots of fun.

As to what this thing actually is, opinions varied though most, like Shawn D., found humor in it:

toughie! I like the ghost explanation. Maybe one of the presidents on Mt.
Rushmore blowing smoke rings?

But I still like my Secret Government Base In The Woods hypothesis best…
