"Cross Country" - March 4, 2022

[Dplass]

I love that song! "Yeah, you funny too" is part of our lingo.
If any Muggles want a Group Solve on this one later today, I will be happy to moderate. Let me know!

Well, seems like there's only about 4 of us non solvers so it might not be all that interesting...

There are a lot more on the ship than just the 4 of you.

Most of them are in their cabins swigging Boon's Farm from a bottle in a bag.

Oh I really should have added "bitter" to my list of emotions, lol.

4:30 p.m. EST today (Friday, March 4) is good for me for a Group Solve. Just go to the Muggle Zoom Room (right under Isaac's photo at the top of this page)! All are WELCOME. You don't even need to turn on your video if you'd rather not.

Safely ashore after a bit of head scratching. Good grid and clever meta. Good luck Muggles!

[sfed]

Ashore!

[Thurman8er]

Very impressive construction. Ashore.

Hoping this fills the need for geography themes for the rest of the year.

[Katiedid]

This NC Tar Heel is on shore! Meta and Grid complete! Need an IPA (or three) as Coach K will likely drub my Heels this weekend!!

Fun meta! Go Heels!

[EVJ]

Ashore!! I’m so excited about this solo solve.
Next I’m ready to tackle the weekend.
Good luck all!

Sitting in the back of Isaac’s bar with the “Don’t Know Much About Geography” crowd, doing our homework.

Kid you not! A few days ago I pulled this book down from our library shelves again-

On Shore! Mai Tai for me, please!

I'm flailing in the ocean and would love to join. Thanks for offering to host and ship4u for proposing the time!

Oh Marge, now I'm singing Sam Cooke:
"Don't know much about history,
don't know much <geography>.
Don't know much about a science book.
Don't know much about the French I took."

(And yes I know the second line ends in biology but still...)

[Jeanrosz]

Finally on shore! Lotsa red herrings in this one, but I loved it..

[Barney]

Interesting. Some find this easy, some tougher but solvable, others stuck.

I don’t look at this board until after I’ve tried to solve it, by way of gauging difficulty level and who says what.

My current read is a personal pass.

[Bob cruise director]

Good Friday muggles

An interesting meta from Mr. Shenk

We have 10 on the ship and 103 on the shore. Apparently it jumps out when you see it.

By the way, the ship's chef has informed me that dinner tonight will be red herring and hassenpfeffer

[jenirvin]

Quick trip from ship to shore. Count me on the beach, Cap'n.

[Bob cruise director]

For those who missed it along the way, our Al has made the news in a good way. Now we have to find out if they are streaming the parade.

Son is a Duke senior who tented twice and will be there tomorrow for better or worse!

[Shirley]

Git it! Beautiful puzzle, Mr. Shenk!

[Ergcat]

never been there, maybe someday.

but the beach is lovely this evening, glad it was a short swim this week.

I have a trip planned to go “there” in 2023!!! Can’t wait!

[Glorfindel]

Ashore

Seems like the only 'right' answer... so ignoring the other distracting possibilities, and forging ahead to the beach
