Went straight at it today
On the shore
Yet find myself
On Page 4

No worries - great and fun puzzle. A few things early ended up being red herrings. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Back from a 7-week long vacation when I did no metas. Glad to have an easy one to come back to. On the beach.

Lol fastest ever for me and I was like “ooh maybe I have a shot at first page!”

Aaaand it’s 4 pages deep. Not surprising, not a particularly tough one. But glad to be on shore nice and early for my long weekend!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend/4th!

On shore. Grabbed a spot early as it's going to get very crowded by Sunday.

That was fun! Now I can go back to trying to solve Mikey G's puzzle. I almost messed up though in an effort to be an early responder, glad I took my usual route to finish it all first, then submit.

100% On the beach - it is only going to get more crowded

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
