I have a strong suspicion that I would have to delve deeply into Google...in an area I have no knowledge of nor any interest in...to solve this meta. I may be totally wrong (since I obviously have not solved it) but convinced enough to believe that I should just drop it before investing more time into it.

I've got it printed but won't have a chance to look at it for another 10 or 15 minutes. See you on page 3, maybe, if I'm lucky! ;-)

Ashore! There's something about doing these in airports that makes me solve them faster....

Hmmm. What would be good in Koehler, Wisconsin?
Tito’s vodka. Go USA. This was a very fun solving process.

There are 20 comments on each page. Length and addition of pictures does not matter. So that leaves 19 opportunities for Page 1 fame and glory.

Nice Puzzle!

Printed it out last night and forgot until this morning. Pretty clear and a no doubter that I am on shore.

I feel like I'm so so so close... hopefully it'll hit me soon

Edit: .... and it just hit me like a ton of bricks! On shore! :lol:

Finally a bit more of a challenge. I had at least 4 good rabbit holes I went down before finding the right path.

Good Friday morning Muggles.

A solid meta from Matt and quite a bit different than the last two weeks. We have 12 on the ship and 66 on the shore.

One message to all muggles - please be very careful, especially Thursday through Saturday about posting inadvertent spoilers or what someone can perceive as a spoiler. This can include almost anything about how you got the solution to subtle nuances about the answer.

Sipping a cocktail with Isaac and a few others, pondering the meta universe... leaving for the Adirondacks this weekend and hopefully will be able to crowd-source the meta answer. Hoping for the same amount of foliage we had from the same weekend last year!

"Pretty clear" sez you! It's clear as mud to me.

There are 20 comments on each page. Length and addition of pictures does not matter. So that leaves 19 opportunities for Page 1 fame and glory.
Only fame and glory? I thought there were cash prizes involved …
