On shore. I sort of backed into this one.

Welp, stuck at the bar with Isaac. Not seeing anything. Given that so many have solved this, I must be missing something obvious, but for the life of me, I can't even see where to start. Depressing start to the weekend.

Ashore.
Thanks Mike! I needed that!
Loved it!

This is what most of the outer(and inner) regions of our gardens still look like

On shore! Had no ideas and then my brain went into "Shenk mode" and I got it. Incredible construction!

I'm on shore nice and early on a Friday. The rest of the weekend is for baseball and bourbon.

Good Friday morning muggles. A very clever meta by Mr. Shenk. For most of us it was DUH, DUH, DUH, AHA. So if you are still in the DUH mode, have a drink, take a walk, and it will come

Like many have said, we are constantly amazed how Matt and Mike keep coming up with unique metas and we thank them

Currently we have 3 enjoying Isaac's company and 135 on the shore.

And save MaineMarge's picture for the next time she posts one of the many photos of her beautiful gardens.

ashore4us, thanks to some gentle guidance from a fellow muggle! What an amazing construction!
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!

Well THAT was fun! Ashore. I guess this really is a GOOD FRIDAY! (Despite that April 15th association)
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!

Ashore! What a cool construction.

I tried asking this guy for a nudge, but much to my disappointment he didn't seem to have any solving skills.

And you would think you could ask him about either puzzle....

Update: ashore. Would like to say fun but Mike made me feel stupid! It is impressive construction though.
