I'm firmly planted...on a bar stool with Isaac. Been in the same rabbit hole for 24 hours. I'll have another shovel please!

OK, I am on shore with 100% confidence, thanks to a little help. I had an error in my grid that was preventing me from getting one piece of the answer. I'd inferred the correct answer, but couldn't find the reasoning for last little piece with my error.

Not sure why this one took me so long. More rabbit holes than usual I guess.

Anyway, I'm on shore!

Ah, there you are, you pesky little rabbit! Finally made it to shore. At first, my reaction was, "meh," but after thinking about it for a while, I like it more and more.

Can anyone else see the rabbit? Is it about 6' tall?

Marion and I are definitely on the sand.........she once again is the champ here and I'm the lug. Regardless, we are lounging in the silica.

Luck to all..........

Should I throw IN the towel? So far, I DIdn't pass GO. I may be Beat. I may have to pUNT. Nah, I'll just keep tryING! Isaac is whipping up some great drinks here on the boat.

I may go for a stroll and see what birds I can see from the deck. Tempted to throw in some chum to attract more birds, but that might draw in something a little more hazardous for those lucky enough to be swimming for shore.

I am on shore. That rabbit hole I was in was a doozy. Finally found my way out and tried something else, which was correct. Nice construction Mike!

Hmm ,I've been down several rabbit holes but nothing is apparent to me yet. I guess I'll stay inside while our cities burn again tonight and contemplate this one.

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel or a cottontail I see? I started down this hole early on and now I fear that if that is a rabbit in front of me, I won't be able to get back out.

I have a mechanism, but it does not seem as clean as others I have seen in my several weeks here. That is usually my first clue that ...

Oh, well. If nothing else appears, I may provide my rationale in my answer in hopes of qualifying for the Innovative Imagination Mug awarded at the end of the year.

I’m with Isaac for now, after exploring several rabbit holes. Planning to resume the search in the am.

I found something that is almost certainly not the right answer but fits the 5 letter and sound title - but the methodology is tenuous at best so it is probably just a coincidence but its a pretty amazing coincidence.
