Oh no! Hobbes needs your help! He’s stuck under a piano looking thingy by a stinky water treatment plant. To rescue him and free the Calvinball, you must consume the beverage holding him hostage on site (a tool to do so is hidden within the package) and take a picture of said consumption that also shows you freed poor Hobbes.

I propose 3 bonus points for freeing Hobbes.

hm. No word on Hobbes rescue yet. If it appears he made a run for it, I’ll send out a search party tonight to confirm and catch him, and then get him back out there tomorrow. There was a jogger giving me a weird look when I dropped off the Calvinball, but it was pretty well hidden so I don’t think any random passer-bys would have snagged it, especially that quick.

Shreve intersection is right before the big hill where you jog up to Virginia Lane on the WOD. Sounds like you were looking under a lot of poles. Not to worry, not only was the spot less than a mile from my house, but now I have the pleasure of making 3 more? 4 more? Rumor is that a few of them may cross state borders…

That’s why I intended to just slack and find it, further complicating the maths! It was a real quandary to not just enjoy the tailwind, but I enjoy the hunt. Miss Geocashing since it got weird.

Yes, that hill occurred to me at some point, after or before the ride, so I just didn’t go far enough. Duh, the cold addled my brain.

Not sure if I’ll fight this headwind tonight since it seems uncertain if any CB’s or Hobbes are currently in play.

My Calvinball reproduced overnight. Location details will be posted once these beauties are planted!

If you are doing an Arlington Loop, you’ll find a Calvinball at the westernmost stoop!

The second Calvinball has been spotted at BAFS happy hour. Go up to the registration table and tell the bee, “Team 17 is the bees knees!” And the Calvinball is yours!

Calvin ball obtained! Rules were checked with Josh, and since it’s a different Calvinball I didn’t violate the once every other turn rule (if I had Judd would have gotten it [emoji37]).

It’ll go back out tomorrow along with the Hobbes replacement.

A CalvinBall has been placed back in the wild…or as wild as Shirlington can get! Be careful crossing the crosswalk of doom!

Hobbes apologizes for running away yesterday. He swears he had urgent top secret government business to attend to.

He bought an apology present for whomever finds him. He went on a 4 mile run, just after hanging out in Shirlington. Look close since he’s covered in leaves so he doesn’t get stolen again.

2 bonus points should be given for finding Hobbes, snuggling him, and telling him he’s forgiven. Photographic proof must be provided.

(Side note–there’s some ice just west of Hobbes so be careful on the trail)

This is my FAVORITE thread of Freezing Saddles. I get dizzy just trying to follow the Calvin Ball!

2nd Calvinball placed with updated swag contained within.

Hint: Fridays at the Fountain, behind where the stage was. Walk across the moat, watch out for crocodiles.

I humbly request 2 bonus points for whomever finds this ball and consumes the beverage contained within on site (photographic evidence required).

And I get frost bite crawling around on my hands and knees in the bitter cold last night looking for the Calvin Ball under that piano-looking thingy that’s part of The Ripple by the “water” treatment plant.

Note to self: Got to move quicker on these.

Gersh dern it! Again, I meant to only like Henry’s post, although I don’t like frostbite!
