Not as many players today, I suspect everyone’s going out of town or gearing up for a fun weekend. Like me (hopefully!) I had to shut off the game early today to go somewhere, but anyhow, here are some of the comments:

Jeremy R:

Wow…that’s the fastest I’ve ever found one. I guess you were feeling sorry for everyone after posting my difficult clue yesterday. First time I’ve actually gotten to look while a clue is still active in quite a while, glad I found it soon.

Yeah, I guess I did make it a little easier on purpose. I don’t know why I always feel guilty about having a clue turn out hard, since most of the time it is beyond my control. But I do! Seriously, I don’t intend to waste your time… hehe. There is no way to control it, but I try to at least alternate: if the previous clue was easy, I’d try to make the next one harder and vicey versey.

It took me about 5 minutes. There were only a few places along the border between the Dakotas that had decent satellite maps, so I checked those spots and found it.

Jon G:

I looked around South Dakota-North Dakota border for an area with high resolution and after looking at a few of these areas I spotted it.

Steve M:

The clue took meet straight to the border of South and North Dakota after that I did a little bit of color matching , it took me about 10min . Everyone have a lovely Extended weekend .

Yep I sort of intended that there would be only a few places to look and that people would use colormatch. I made sure to check that there wouldn’t be that many in the area.

Jarret R:

Took about 5 minutes. . . just cruised the North/South Dakota border looking for the right color scheme. . . unfortunately, I started at the western border and made my way east.

Phil M:

I’ve got to admit, this one was tough. Even though the clue was simple, finding the solution took a lot of panning. I think my biggest mistake was starting my search on the west ends of SD and ND. In all it took me about 20 mins.

LOL, I had a feeling that if you came from the west it would take longer. Ok, well I’ve got to run, see you all Wednesday at 9!
