Did you take that picture with a satellite? Or was it from Google Maps?

Weeping Sassafras you daGum Bully, here's hoping your Tickle Tongued pet Mongoose Wood take off for the Alabama Hills with your stash of Wild Persimmons, Figs and jugs of Supplejack.

Another View of the Wood

Please use a tripod for the next pic!

Sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry this morning & just shot some quick photos with my iPhone. I selected that view because it didn't show the chain saw marks as much as the other sides. I think the focus on this view might be slightly better.

 

[CREID]

Well, you don't win the photo contest.:biggrin:

 

[Edgar]

Another photo

Well, you don't win the photo contest.:biggrin:

For sure - but here's another that I shot after I got home. Hopefully it's a "little" better.

 

[1080Wayne]

No , he definitely didn`t , but maybe we should give him one for most creative use of a can of white spray paint .

Well, you don't win the photo contest.:biggrin:

Puzzle 5 Second Chance

Since my first photo was so lousy, I'm going to give everyone 2 guesses on this one.

If you have already submitted an entry, you may submit a second one.

If you have not yet submitted an entry, you may put 2 guesses on a single entry or submit 2 entries with one guess on each.

Puzzle #5 Extended Time

I will keep Puzzle #5 open until I can get around to posting the answer. Probably later today.

So if you have not yet submitted your 2 guesses, you still have a little time to do so.

[CREID]

Come on Edgar. We all know I won.:bananen_smilies046::biggrin:

 

[Leo S. Long]

I'm glad you did that Edgar, because I compleatly forgot. Probably won't matter anyway as I really have no clue as to what it is. So I just sent in my to shots in the dark hoping to hit something.

Puzzle #5 Answer

Puzzle #5 is now closed.

The correct answer was Tickle Tongue (aka Prickly Ash, Hercules Club, Toothache Tree & Pepper Bark).

We had 28 entries for this contest and 5 people got the correct answer. Those 5 each earned 1 point for this contest and will be entered into the random draw for an individual puzzle prize.

By the way, Mongoose Wood was intended as a joke. As far as I know, there is no such thing. :wink:

Thanks for playing

I found that same series of pictures. It was not my guess, as it was the only search that didn't turn up alternate names. Still...I didn't guess correctly!!

So is there a bonus for choosing mongoose wood? I blame my darts anyway.

I thought about subtracting a point from anyone who guessed Mongoose Wood.

I sharpened my darts for #6.

 

[alankulwicki7]

Mongoose Wood is such a thing, though.

It's a Mongoose. Out of wood.

Thats it! I'm sure Edgar has one growing in the back 40 somewhere.
