Can't remember exactly how I did it now. But you have to backtrack and go back and get the log you left behind (on one of the first rocks), carry it around, then use it again. Not too good at describing it. Sorry!

I am TRULY confused here. I started playing last week and didn't have the patience/energy to make it too far and planned to get back to it. Well of course I didn't so thought I'd catch up tonight. But rather then take me to where I was digging last time it opens to a helicopter and wants a map I don't have. WTF???? How do I get back to the beginning or how do I move on? Does this even make sense to anyone who has played along? I just don't get it. And this looked like fun ARGGHHH Ok hang on...went back and I see where there are options to restart challenge OR return to gameboard. Says my progress will be lost. How did I make progress???? Not sure if I should do that or try to move on or??? dang

Hang on again (while I am talking to myself again lol). I now found the map, flew to the island and rather than digging where I was last week I am now digging where you guys are at with the totem poles. Well least I'm someplace that sounds familiar lolol. Haven't seen Rc's logs yet, so off to dig here! Least this should be much easier on my bad back then trying to do it in my yard!

I have all three logs on the other side of the river but none will connect to the rock on that bank...

Same here Cathie! I finally clicked on some "policy" thing that said it would move me forward..but I can only use it once. Don't know if it's for this round, or the whole treasure hunt! I drove to A. Lincoln's birthplace and am currently inside a cabin. I clicked on the books on the mantle and each one comes up with stuff from ask.com!! Yikes!! I think I'm way in over my head here, but I had to get away from those logs. My head is starting to hurt now!

Okay, I got it--I connected with the other bank with the long log from a rock that had looked like it wasn't necessary, if that makes any sense. Use the rock that is a long log distance from the shore.

I figured out how to get to the other side. Arrange the 2 small log and the long log like this: rock1-small log-rock | small log | long log-rock Rock2 rock3 book Once you've moved the logs as so go back and get long log. Walk to rock1 and lay long log to rock2. Pick up long log and lay to rock2, then to land. Hope this helps.

I finally got the 2nd puzzle piece! Is that all you have to do at this point? Are we supposed to try to guess something for the big game at this point. Guess I should go read the rules, huh?

Hopefully I described the log challenge here without being too confusing....
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | 1. Walk across short log, (SL1) stand on rock between both logs. 2. Pick up SL1. Carry it across long log (LL) to next rock. 3. Set SL1 down on rock at bottom of playing area (south). 4. Pick up LL and set it down going north 5. Walk across LL, leaving SL1 log behind. 6. Pick up LL, and place it on rock directly east of you 7. Pick up new short log (SL2) from behind you, and carry it across LL. 8. Set SL2 down on rock directly north of you. 9. Walk back across LL. 10. Pick up LL and set it back down across rocks to connect back with SL1. 11. Walk across LL and go retrieve SL1. 12. Carry SL1 back across, and place it where SL2 originally sat. 13. Pick up LL and place it back on rock to reconnect with SL2). 14. Go back across LL and pick up SL1 15. Carry SL1 across LL and SL2, and place it on next set of rocks. 16. Walk back across SL2 and pick up LL. 17. Carry LL and walk back across SL2 and SL1. 18. Place LL down on next set of rocks. 19. Walk across LL to next rock. 20. Pick up LL, and place it on rock on opposite shore. 21. Walk across LL to opposite shore! | I almost confused myself trying to follow it again to make sure I got all the steps right!

Cathie, I bow to you! Maybe I'm just too tired right now to do this! Did you just have to figure out who the box belonged to to get the next piece? I jumped ahead, then made the mistake of going back and lost everything!

Ok came back to say GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I finally caught up with you all...still not exactly sure how but seems like it restarted me at the first part of the game just not exactly where I was at. Okey doke. So I get to the logs, I now see what the heck you guys were talking bout. Took me a mess of tries/combos but I FINALLY am ready to take that last step when in putting the log down on the shore on the other side my BLASTED computer just shuts down. POOF. No error, no warning just off. I've had that happen a couple times where I wasn't careful about it venting (it's a laptop) and it was tangled in blankets, but it's none of those things now. So let me just say ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! TY for listening lol Now I have to go back and figure out how the heck I got to where I was just about across sheesh Came back to ask if there was a different clue tonight, since the one I saw seems to have gone with last weeks game. Anyone???

When you go to the log cabin and look at the books you can figure out who the box belongs to. A clue is visible on one book. Whoami, that sounds right to me. They really make you work at this, don't they! LOL

Kc, It's not you. I'm willing to try again if you are. Look at the 2 rocks in the top right corner. You need to get a small log between those 2. rock1 -- small log -- rock2 land

In order to do that, you have to go back and forth since you can't hold more than 1 at a time.

Whoami...thanks millions for your spoiler!! It got me there. Tatam, follow Whoami's spoiler and it will get you across for sure. When you finally get to the cabin, look carefully at the box for a big hint in solving this week's puzzle. I'm trying to ponder my final guess now for the week. I see where the "sense" clue ties in for this week's challenge, but not seeing a bigger picture yet.

You should have a backwards "C" of sorts with the bottom of it longer because of the long log when you're done. Go back and get the long log. Carry it to rock1. Lay down log to rock directly under rock1. Pick it up and lay to rock directly in front of book.

I'm finished with the Challenge already. I was just trying to help. Didn't realize you were done and I was feeling bad for seemingly adding to your frustration with my excellent diagramming skills.

Thanks for helping too Tatam! I needed all of the help I could get tonight. LOL Do the puzzle pieces looks like they might spell something, or does it look like some type of map legend key maybe? Thanks again for all who helped me through!

To me the puzzle pieces look like they form (don't yell) a puzzle BUT within or on top of it a game. The game that I have in mind is similar to that one where you have to get a certain piece out by moving other pieces around to let the piece out. More than likely not but that inset part on the piece today MUST mean something, right? That's what got me thinking, grasping, looking under trash cans like the Hanlons along those lines.

DANG I'm losing my mind...I forgot what I did and now I'm going in circles. And am I nutz or did a pic disappear? I didn't look at it since I did it once figured I could do it again but I'm sooo frustrated. Dang I think I need to forget this thing. And Cathie I posted that sense clue in the show thread if you need it...and as I asked did anyone get this weeks? I think I got last since I hadn't played part one yet. Thanks.
