Where was the sheep reference - I missed that one?

1Michele - I am with you and Sue. I think MO is a strong contender and I agree and think "It is Not Kentucky" has been the most important clue given. I was looking at all the bordering states of which MO does touch a small part of. I also think there is an M in the clue - either the state name or city names begins with it. And I think the skier is clearly making an M in the above picture. For a bit I was thinking Mississippi, but I think MO is a better choice. During clue #13 there was also a Greek M in the url link to the clue which I took to be a silent but powerful clue.

How about St. Louis, MO?

I'd say it is either close to Burlington or Rutland as those are the two cities with major airports in VT. I say it is closer to Rutland.

Since Vermont is the 14th state to enter the union, I'm guessing that there will be no 14th clue but the reveal instead. Whether or not it is imminent is still to be seen.

Going with the number 4 and the fact that there have been lots of C's in the clues - it could be the 4 Corners location in the US (Utah/Colorado/Arizonza/New Mexico). If a house could be built to cover 4 different states that would be pretty "groundbreaking"!

Numbers Clues: Clue #2: Slides 9, 1, 2, 3 (added up = 15; subtract 1 from 5 = 4). Clue #4: Slides 1, 1, 1, 1, (added up = 4) Clue # 13: Slides 2, 2, 3, 6 (added up = 13; added again = 4) Incidentally, clue 13 itself = 4 so this should be the end of the line. Not sure what 4 might point to - 4th state to enter the Union was Georgia (where they have had a DH before); could be groundbreaking to do another one there.

I am wondering about the numbers clues though - wouldn't they have had to pick out (and confirm) the DH location long before they ever posted the GH pics so they could configure the right sets of numbers to point to the true location? Otherwise, the slide numbers should be given more weight as it doesn't matter what is referenced in the caption. Perhaps it is all in good fun and part of the "lead-you-on-a-wild-goose-chase" Mary mentioned in the first clue.

Going on what Renee mentioned about adding the numbers for the 13th clue (4393), you could also get 19 and the 19th state to enter the union was Indiana (which borders Kentucky, but is not Kentucky).

So what if the latest numbers (4393) which leads us to Mt. Mansfield was a clue to the name of the city and not the exact location itself (VT). As someone was already playing around with Mansfield, TX, there is also a Mansfield, Missouri (which would also be a 'M' clue given the Greek M in the URL above). There is a planned community - Saddlebrooke Community which would also give us the SC clue that others have mentioned. This community is surrounded by the Ozarks mountains - http://www.saddlebrookemo.com/. Could also help to explain the "trail" references (horses). Take a looksie, it looks nice.

I think that is so interesting - especially since you cannot write s h o e on this blog - maybe it means something!

The only real definitive clue we have received from Mary is "It is not Kentucky." So, bordering Kentucky is: Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.

Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling Geese in flight and dogs that bite Signs that might be omens say I'm going, going I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind With a holy host of others standing 'round me Still I'm on the dark side of the moon And it seems like it goes on like this forever You must forgive me If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind continued... In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine Can't you just feel the moonshine Ain't it just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

I think it will be in a place where it has a relatively low unemployment rate, good public school system and home values are not dropping too drastically. And, where, in these times, the cost of living will be low.

I still don't see the connection to VT for the friendliest place with good looking people. Interestingly, Kentucky's license plate reads - Kentucky - It's That Friendly (although Mary said it is not Kentucky).
