So many rabbit holes....The brothers and I FaceTimed for over an hour last night going down every rabbit hole imaginable. I think we are safely ASHORE. Brother John woke me at 5:42 this morning to confirm he thinks he is right.

On the beach! 🏖️ 🫖

Immediately took off on several wrong tangents yesterday, and had to put it aside. Clarity came when I first woke up, and I solved in my head before getting up this morning!

Ditto!
Just got up with my alarm and re-read something, and there it was.

REMINDER: Please join us for our Muggle Zoom Friday get together at 4:30 Eastern time today, where we explore rabbit hole adventures, assist struggling muggles in finding their way, and discuss topics of interest with other muggle friends, such as, enjoyable vacation experiences! Someone told me it's all happening at the ZOOM. I do believe it's true.

Click on the Muggle Zoom Room tab at the top of the page to join us. All are invited!
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore! This one was satisfying. I could NOT sleep last night and so reviewed the puzzle in my mind as I lay there. Then something clicked! I even woke up my girlfriend to explain to her the mechanism. She was, let's go with "thrilled"... I think I have a problem.

Ashore last night but forgot to post! Lots of individual micro aha moments on this one made for a really fun solve.

A tricky one, but I'm having a morning basking on the beach.

Well, hidden. Original mechanism. Not the greatest of answers but a very original mechanism. Saw lots of the pieces but not strong enough to have faith in them to follow through without being told on discord that I *could* follow through.

Ashore! I was on the wrong beach and asked for confirmation but then immediately noticed my error.

Ashore. Saw nothing yesterday, but took a fresh look this morning and suddenly I saw what I was supposed to see (or, at least, what I think I was supposed to see). In any event, beer me!
