I'm with you. Maybe a Zoom meeting sometime Friday if fellow Muggles are in a similar strait. It seems very close for me...but I don't see it.
I'd be up for an afternoon session if you're still stuck. I am as well...but maybe by our powers combined......

Ashore!!! Got the first step right away, but it took me a while to figure out where to go from there. Fun puzzle!

Due to scheduling, I've never been able to make the Zoom sessions. Today, however, I think I might be able to.

After a two week dry spell, I am cautiously optimistic that I am ashore! Whew!😃

I am either digging my way into a very clever rabbit hole, or else I've simply temporarily run aground on my way to shore. I'm heading back up to have Bloody Mary with Isaac until I can hopefully sort it out.

How about the 4:30 eastern time slot? I'm up for it.

MGWCC #721 has been delayed until 4:30 PM ET, so many of those who have solved may be unavailable. I will be available at 3 PM ET, should anyone wish to go, then.

Works for me as well. And, as luck would have it, posting up above seems to have triggered a solve. And since I don't do MGWCC, I can assist!

If it's any consolation, being on the first page doesn't always imply a correct answer. I once (in)famously sent in a superquick answer "Grilled Cheese" -- possibly made with "gloat cheese" -- only to find out that the answer was "Grilled Ham and Cheese" (in my haste to be the first solver, I missed the "Ham and" part). Well, I did it again this week. I went from "Quick! Sand!" to "Quicksand." I have two bits of good advice. 1. Take your time; it's better to be correct than quick, and 2. (to me) Heed #1.

ashore4us! It turns out that my first hunch was the correct one and the 3 hours of digging into my second hunch ran into a huge boulder with the rabbits having a good laugh!
I will still attend the ZOOM, since I always enjoy saying hello to fellow muggles!

I am available from mid-afternoon on and would love to join in.

If you lived near MaineMarge, you could have a buffalo in your house real soon. This herd escaped from their pasture just 1 mile from me this week. No trace of them now.
