Primble's Mystery GAW - Prizes Mailed

[Markesharp]

The KETUCKY DERBY is held in the SPRING and it is the first leg of the TRIPLE Crown. GREASE heel is more prevalent on a HORSE in the SPRING.

Also: Hydrophane Event Grease

The most popular and professional event grease, designed to protect horse's legs during the rigors of cross-country events. Stays firmly in place during competition but is easily removed by using shampoo and water. Kentucky gold or clear up shampoo...

Great giveaway Primble, always enjoy your excellent pictures.
If I had to call a favorite I would have to say this one

Don't have any great local scenery pictures of my own so my scenery pictures are swiped from the net. Some of the sights around the area of our "Scenic City" of Chattanooga, TN

A Sheffield Three Thick Equestrian Knife whose scales have been mellowed by generations of greasy palms:thumbup:

Not an entry thanks

Nice to see all the pix, but here's my dilemma: nearly ALL my pix are of knives not landscapes so how am I going to choose a favourite from that? Might spark off a mutiny in the knife-cabinet

Best of luck to the participants and to Primble for hosting all this, regards Will

Doesn't cost anything to enter Will and you can use the power of Google search for your area- then hit images on the menu - find what you like and save and upload to your bucket!

Boy Mark - you are really smart - you actually almost got one right! Well - maybe not! Great great guess though. Maybe you guys need to back track.

I guess I will try friendly insults - like an old friend of mine used to do. He would say "You guys couldn't find a bull in a china shop"!!!!

This is really fun now. I expect Jennifer will be along shortly to solve this for you guys!

Thanks for all the great guesses - got to finish my mowing and I will ponder on another clue - for later.

I'll let y'all in on a little secret: Primble said he pegged me as being from the east coast, and he was close. I was born in Pennsylvania. I moved to Texas when I was eleven, and I do have fond memories of the year having four seasons. ISKski's pictures remind me of elementary school in Bala-Cynwyd, PA!

As far as guessing, MR.P, I can't get past what I would wish the prize to be, rather than what your clues might tell me. I seem to remember you posting something about stables of horses and Charlows, but I can't figure out what the three and grease would be.

Mr. Pistons - you came prepared sir - one of my favorite knives and some killer pictures. That middle picture will more than likely make the top twenty or ten or five! - unless some future photos knock it back a bit. Very nice post - yes indeed! :thumbup:

P.S. - with a knife that good - you don't really need anything of mine!

No clues from other threads - all clues in this thread - maybe you all are putting the cart before the horse - so to speak. Maybe you should be taking notes! Maybe the prize for solving the mystery is getting better because I see members getting interested !?

extra clue for today: red, white, and blue

P.S. - a good investigator takes notes and leaves no stone unturned!

 

[Old & In The Way]

Hmm, think I'm getting warmer...

Then again, as I was 'turning stones over', I might've slipped and bumped my head on one of them.

I am taking the hints Primble! This is my third post with 3 pictures (plus the knife picture as you requested), I can take the hints!

This is North Manitou Island, a small island in Lake Michigan which has one purpose: nature. It's one of my favorite places...

BLUE sky today on the West side of the island:



Nothing like a covered hammock after a day of hiking, especially the wife who got the trap during the torrential and completely unexpected lightning storm. It was worth getting soaked and near hypothermic to witness Gods power that night. A Great Lake storm seen from a small island is a humbling thing.


Have you ever had a beach with WHITE rocks all to yourselves for as far as you could see? We napped, perhaps were getting old but it was fantastic!


I love the RED hues in the fire: We cooked crayfish in that fire, but showing you would exclude me from winning based on the clues in post #98 . This is the folders and FIXED Traditional forum. I love my Bark River (Made in Michigan, so it reminds me of home) Bravo-1. A2 is a traditional steel and we see plenty of Micarta in here so I'm calling it traditional.

I know this is about baseball...just wish I knew more about the sport.
Isn't there a consolation riddle about volleyball? basketball? tennis? soccer?

Possibly you bumped your head Stephen - possibly my friend - but - just finding that horse had me laughing so hard that I almost fell out of my chair - that should be worth some kind of prize!!!

baseball ???

It will become clearer in the coming days Fausto.

The pictures everyone submitted will win prizes and the clues solve the mystery.

If I were interested in solving, I think I might begin at the beginning of the thread. Only for the interested ones.

Very cool, here's a shot by my job! Not an awesome landscape picture but they were filming a movie and using Wall St. NYC as the background. That was a scene filmed next to the statue of the bull.

Its not an African Blackwood Stew's blade Charlow, is it?!?

Before I loose any more days before posting on this wonderful thread I will post my story.

I realized that this was my favourite knife after our home invasion two days before my birthday last year. While not a single slipjoint was stolen, most of my other favourites will never be replaced. After that I thought about which remaining knives I would not want to be without. Other than the knives I've been gifted on BF, I have no others that hold a special place in my heart. So I show my GEC Executive Whittler in stag, the only present I've recieved for graduating two university programs, my present to myself. If it isn't in my pocket it travels with me in my backpack from here on out!

At our riverside picnic last Saturday:

Recently a client asked me if I could live anywhere, where would it be? Without hesitation I said here! Why would I love anywhere besides where my heart lives?!? Of course I would choose to not live in the city, but Edmonton is about as rural urban as you can get- the most river valley length within any city in North America apparently! Deer, coyotes and raptors are regulars here- nothing like having a four point buck run past you while waiting for the bus (no, I didn't get him, we don't carry up here)! Even bears and moose aren't unheard of in the city (bear being more rare but still there). In my province we have mountains, prairies, desert, rivers, lakes, +35°C to -40°C- basically everything my heart desires. We live in a pretty free world and I want to be where I'm happy, which luckily is where I am.

Here are a few pictures from the middle of the city from last weekend, and a few others as I can find them. The land is much more to me than the architecture, because I share this time out with the most important people in the world.

(We watched that balloon float down the river, then back up the river past us again and out of sight!! And then a kayaker paddling by asked us if we wanted it because he grabbed it! Must have been fate bringing it to us three times!!

(Guess who picks out my daily knife carry- I'll give a hint:

We can't get out to the farm as often as I'd like, so it's nice having nature so close to home that I can teach about nature when we get the chance!

Still in the city:

"Hidden" river valley we like to visit nearby

Thanks for the thread!

I am not a good guesser, sorry.

Taken back in April From Coronado Heights, with the Smoky Hills to the north, right before an approaching spring storm. The earlier picture I posted was actually one of four, and here are all four stitched into one composite, using Microsoft ICE.

And just the center two.

Here is the WPA Castle build in the 1930's, it is on the 300' hill where the photos were taken. This vantage point is a great place to catch a moonrise.

Another picture coming in a short while of a potential prize. While I have enjoyed pulling a few chains and laughing most of the day, I will be fair and tell you that we are in the beginning stages of the mystery. We are still in picture submission mode too.

When I saw Stephen trying to solve the mystery today, I went You are going to solve my mystery and you only have a few clues!!

It would be nearly impossible to solve at this point and I don't want to waste your time - In other words you are to trying to solve before the questions are asked. With that said, it is still not too early to investigate for clues and potential answers throughout the thread. Good time to make notes. It may win you a knife!

OK - here is a candidate for the GAW - a really nice stag on this 1980's stockman. It is a SS model and has hardly ever been used and likely will not see any use as long as I own it, because I do not carry the stockmans often. I would love to see it go to a home where it might actually be an EDC, to live a proud life. It might be the second or third prize in the GAW. Tell me what you think? 2nd place? 3rd place? or find something else?

Let me know what you think. My skin is tough tonight!
