Another fun meta from Evan. After a busy puzzling day (at my age a lot of things are puzzling) I got a late start on this but luckily it did not take that long. It is very well done and I think you will enjoy it.

Yup, a fun puzzle.

If -- after you are done solving -- you check out Evan's solution page at the WP he writes:

"Now, a word about next week’s meta: It’s a special kind of puzzle that’s spread out over two pages in the print Magazine. We’re currently working on how to present this puzzle for online solvers since it’s not a traditional kind of crossword, and that’s coming along nicely. It’s going to test you and challenge you in several different ways big and small. But if you can stick with it and work out its tricks, I think you will enjoy it. Good luck."

Did this one after a ten-hour drive, much of it in a downpour, and I can attest, it was a very nice way to unwind.
