Good evening everyone! OMG, it's been a nightmare just getting back in here. Don't know what "critical error" is but I had my own...forgot my password and the info they gave me did not work. Been trying to get in since Monday morning and just spend hours catching up.
Prior to Monday had to take a few days off...puppy is not healing well from rupture; had running around to do with daughter who left for Texas (Dallas/Houston) until Dec. 31 with Radio City and to top that off had to get a keyboard replacement from Dell...couldn't even get any research done.
Sorry to hear about the animals and the fire. Tragedy abounds as New York had another plane crash into a building. Thank God it wasn't like 9/11...I was in the middle of that! Of course, 10/11 makes one think again.
Actually, I don't have a team...my son dropped everything in my lap as he and his teammates headed for Iraq. I just hope I can do them justice with this contest and hope they get an invite to the ranch.
Can you tell me if transportation is provided? I understand beverages are free but what about food and what is the duration of the stay? Are the accommodations bunk houses, although I guess that's better than sleeping in tents for 6 months. And, what are the activities at the ranch? Is there a choice of which ranch to visit or is that pre-arranged?
As to the ??s:
I have RCMTF for #2;
SF for #3;
three possibilities for #15;
still up in the air on #19;
A for #26;
think I have #27,
#29 is really tricky as they as for a decimal point in hundredths witrhout rounding off, which I have; for
#31 I have I; my son's notes have a lighthouse in San Diego Texas, which I have not found but has something to do with the blind...still checking on this one;
I have a ranch for #40 but there is another famous ranch in California which was ONCE headquaters for all;
on #41, don't know if they want the name of the river or it's location;
I have #43 of which I'm certain;
have an answer for #44 but now not too sure...have read that ? six different ways and each time I get a different answer;
for #53, is it city to city or place to place...I have both;
still have to research #58, #62 and #64;
still researching #72...as usual, there are possibly multi-answers;
as for #74, going for the superstitious one;
have an answer for #75 but the "wonder" throws me... still researching this one;
#82 still searching;
still checking out #84;
#86 multi-possibilities again...could be A, U or W;
still researching #95;
and finally, I found #100 to be a toss-up.
So, that's where I am at the moment. I can't complain thus far as I've only having the material for about three weeks. I would greatly appreciate any HINTS as to the above, no matter how small! As for the others, I would be most happy to share my answers via e-mail at

Sorry for the elongated post. Thanks for being so kind everyone. You are a great group of people and I'm saddened that I won't make it to the ranch to meet y'all! Hope no one minds if I continue with the group beyond the contest. The posts have lightened up my life. Thank you again.
