So is anyone intending on seeking the Calvinball in Fort Totten or Sligo. i fear that once again Calvinballs hidden in the Northern Realm have been excommunicated.

Sligo was Fireball – found by Stryke, hidden near the Georgetown Aqueduct and apparently lost.
Phoenix Ball – around Fort Totten (DC). Not found I don’t think. Wish I knew that area better.
Calvinball – near some steps (DC), I don’t recognize them.

None currently exist in the northern realm that I’m aware of. I will try to find the Fort Totten example, though.

4 of 5 boardwalk Frozemon have been retrieved! The other has eluded my grasp so far, hopefully it didn’t wash away in the precipitation

Nice job! For the fifth, you had to think “outside of the bridge” so to speak. But it’s not unlike one of my other hides, so a true aficionado would have no troubles.

Today being Ash Wednesday in addition to Valentine’s Day, I participated in gluttony yesterday at The Sugar Shack in Alexandria.

Honey lavender, party time, and king cake donuts sampled and brought home for the family.

What can I say? I like the texture of the Sugar Shack doughnuts better than District, and even more consistently than Astro. I also really like that they have a lavender doughnut. And even my son liked the king cake…

Last picture – a picture of determination to bike all the way back to College Park in damp, chilly weather after eating the honey lavender doughnut.

Alert! A Frozemon has been spotted studying up on Indian Heritage along the Trolley Trail. My, these Frozemon are studious.

Updates:

Alert! Frozemon have been sighted visiting “libraries” in North College Park. Perhaps they are from the subset “nerdy”? A dozen may be found total (3ish left?). – At least one remains Uncaptured.

Alert! Another nerdist or two has been sighted checking out books – this time off the Trolley Trail. (1 left?) – All Captured.

Alert! A frozemon has been spotted at the extraordinarily large instruments in Hyattsville near Vigilante. – Captured

Alert! Frozemon outbreak on a boardwalk between Bladensburg and the DC line! Five total spotted!

NOTE: The DC line is where NPS starts, so these aren’t in NPS territory.

Well, the package said maple glazed donut…

Today I visited a location that I had meant to try last year during doughneuring. Paul in Bethesda at the top of the CCT. I tried two creations – both worth the trek. The first was a mini filled hazelnut. The Second was a franzipane with rum, although the receipt called it a King Cake…

Next in Georgetown at District Doughnut I had a chocolate-covered strawberry. District is all right, but something about their batter is meh. However, the frosting worked well with it, and it sort of tasted like fresh strawberries – so I was very happy.

So this is when you claimed the Phoenixball? Sorry I’m pretty rusty on my RPG hints… silly me… should have known…

I’m afraid not. I picked it up on the way to lunch this morning, but only had time to visit the forum just now. Sorry!

[Mtansill]

Sadness! The hiding place for the Frozemon with a penchant for bad vampire lit have been vandalized. All books and the door are missing.

LOST – Alert! One Frozemon got lost in Brookland with an odd penchant for bad vampire lit. Save him from himself!

New Frozemon:

Alert! Where was the Phoenix Ball hidden today?
Alert! Where was the Phoenix Ball found today?
Alert! Roscoe’s looks upon a small park in Takoma Park. Two Frozemon are hoping that you will bring them some pizza!

Phoenix Ball

Whilst riding my broom.
I got there too soon.
To allow Sarah Bee to find it.
So it came on a quest.
To head further west.
Now under a faux train bridge you’ll find it.

Need more of a clue?
Maybe this will do.
Those who like bike camping might find it.
But if you commute
By that CCT route.
Perhaps YOU will pause in your transit.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16782[/ATTACH]

I tell you, don’t stray
Down to the quay
On a rainy day your feet need not get muddy.
But from your bike you must alight
And go down one flight
Beneath a few leaves you will find it.

New Ordinance: Next hider of the Phoenix Ball must place it secure in the third realm to bring Stryke’s spell to life.
