Hi all,
I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.
Everyone is welcome!
I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.
This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.
So, I hope it catches on !
So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

as I don't believe to many local visitors do. its not that its a bad place its just the cost to get in and see what little they have.... believe me, its "No' seaworld.
I have always thought if they took some of them Carp out of the Ohio river and display them they would have a Main attraction, there's fish in that Ohio that can swallow a Man, We Mid-Westerners don't have to go to the ocean to be eat'en by a fish, We can get it done right here on the Banks of our polluted river.
One of the things that bothered me from the outset, was that I was required to go on a camping trip (my choice of four venues), with three of my family members or friends. $2500 of the prize was supposed to cover travel expenses. It was pure coincidence I won a trip to Aspen the week before the campout. I still had to pay for my ticket home, among other things, and took two weeks off WOK.
This was the first time Coleman did a promotion like this. There was gear given away at all four camping venues. They were generous and gave all the camping gear that was at the campout to my sisters. There were photographers and cameras everywhere. Don't ya think it would have been a great photo-op to give the grand prize check to the winner at the campout?
Brandmovers is the one who dropped the ball here. It was not until I sent an e-mail to both Taylor (Coleman) and Rebecca (Brandmovers) simultaneously that I began to get a response. I was told at least four times the check had been sent. I repeatedly asked for a tracking number to be sent to me and Coleman. This week on Monday, I was told by Rebecca, "UPS has your check at the field office up there. They are telling us they cannot deliver it to your address." I responded that I have never, ever had problems with UPS delivery to my home. I called UPS...there was nothing in my name there. I asked Rebecca to call me.
The last thing I wanted to do was post on Coleman's facebook page that I had not yet received my prize. It is hard to know what to do when you feel you are being put off and stalled...not by the company who sponsored the incredible contest, but by the administrator of the prize itself.
Good luck getting the rest of your gear. Unfortunately, you may have to get a little nasty about it. You know I have the phone number for Coleman's legal rep and hope you don't need it.
