Happy, glorious Friday! OK, before you all start in on this clue, please take a look at the post below about starting a mailing list. You can weigh in with your opinion on whether the game would be OK switched to that way…
I got a large submission of decent clues from Mike M. the other day, including this one. Also regarding clue submissions, there haven’t been a lot of international clues yet, I think because in many places even thought there is hi-res satellite photos, there aren’t street level maps so it’s very difficult (for US players anyhow) to tell where you are. I also think it’s VERY difficult to come up with suitable word clues for international areas, unless you happen to be familiar with the area. In any case, there’s no rush to find clues outside of the U.S. I’m thankful that there is that opportunity now though!
Mike’s clue is called, quite appropriately from the picture, “Footprints in the Sand”. No, not that cheesy poem that nuns like to hang on their walls. This is a honest to goodness Paul Bunyan sized set of footprints. There is another clue submitted by one of you that is also a footprint that I have been meaning to use too… I’ll try get to that. I recall that I thought it would be extremely difficult though, which is why I shelved it.
The Footprints are available for viewing a good distance out, maybe 14/18 max. For word clues, you are going to get Mike M.’s suggestion which I thought were quite cool:
“Good Grief”
I have a feeling this won’t be too tough… but we shall see! If it is, look for a region clue.
[Edit: 11:05 PDT - hm… near zilch players today! Or it seems like it. I’m not sure but anyway I will drop: Northern California]

Ugh. Good Grief is right. I am useless today. I’ve gone from “Good Grief” to Peanuts to Charles Schulz to the Charles Schulz museum in Santa Rosa, CA. Am I on the right track here? Perhaps, with another cup of coffee, I’ll wake up and figure this puppy out.

Mark - hehe, sorry about that one. When I actually did a re-find on it, basically starting from just knowing the museum location it took a surprisingly long time, bout 15 minutes or so. I thought I was going blind or something having not found it right away… good grief indeed!
