click to search using Google MapsMan, I do need this coffee. So is it summer session now for you semester college people? It certainly feels like summer here. It was 98 F on Saturday where I live…

By the way, I have been having huge problems with my connection this past week. Cable people are coming out to “fix” some things, whatever that means. Plus, I need to help the parents with some furniture moving at their house. So, I might not get to post clue drops, but I’ve set an “auto-drop” clue for 11:30 today. It’ll show up as an actual post, and I’ll just delete it later. Also, I may not get to update “Pending Solutions” in real time. In any case:

Two, too, to, 2, and finally II. This is what you’re looking for today. Mike Z. sent in this excellent roman numeral find. I can definitely see it as far out as 13/15, maybe 12/15 if you really know what you’re looking for. Mike was going to give you some pretty tough clues, as least I thought they were tough. I’ll mention them in the solution, but for now, I’ve made the clues extremely minimal. I think I’ll just stick with this and add hints as we go, though this is probably enough for a few people:

Word Clues: “Cuyahoga”

Yep, that’s it! Oh, and please don’t go searching in Athens, GA if you are an R.E.M fan…

I’m still mulling over the free-for-all scavengeroogle hunt. The “point system” may prove to be difficult. I guess we could just have arbitrary points, or no points at all, but then what’d be the point? Haha. Give me a little more time to think about it.

So I didn’t see Star Wars this weekend, amazingly… is there anyone else who didn’t see it? I have transformed from a lame geek to a lame geek who doesn’t get out of the house enough. I have to laugh like hell.

Thanks for playing, friends. Twodle-oo…

[Edit: 11:30 PDT - I hope this thing posts at the correct time, it should be around 11:30 PDT now. Hmm… judging from early response I actually doubt you will need a drop for this one. But anyway, in case you are looking in the wrong place here you go: “Nat Park”]

    The refind on took me about 3 minutes. Of course, the submission was still fresh in my mind. As for my original clue, it probably would have been tougher considering all the herringness. And even if you figured out the clue, it would have only put you in the general region. I’d bet that some sort of secondary clue would have been necessary.

    P.S. I didn’t see Star Wars this weekend. However, I did see The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on opening day a few weeks ago.
