click to search using Google MapsHowdy. How’s your morning. Lunchtime for you eastcoasters. Anyhow, JCP sent me this clue which looks sort of like a building shaped like a crescent moon. (Extra Magic Bonus points to tell me what the reference of the title is.) This one may be a tough find because it is visible only at 14/15 and above. But you never know how the day’s game will turn out!

Well, I did a “re-find” on it, and it took me only 10 minutes if I knew the answer. I think the general location will help, and if you get the specific location it should be fast. However, I think the potential for herring banana peels is there so tread with caution. I decided to go with JCP’s suggestion for word clue nearly verbatim and see how it went from there:

“Mr. Packer would love to dine here, see you”

I’ve tacked on the two words at the end. Hopefully, that will get you going in the correct direction as opposed to a wild goose chase. I will try drop a region soon if the going is tough early on. And of course your usual clue drops along the way to 2:00 p.m. PDT. Okee dok, let’s Scavengeroogle…

[Edit: 10:46 PDT - There doesn’t seem to be a huge amount o’ confusion, but I’ll drop the region clue now cause I need to go out for a bit. Region: Colorado. That should also clear up the small herring that people have been following.]
