55 raidergirl3 : re #10 the first ever hunt was about Talk Like a Pirate Day. I searched that, and thought about where that might have been announced that first year. There are plenty of options, besides Books and Authors to search through on the left hand side.

91 SandraArdnas : It's the first one, in the year of the clue

I just found the link to the answer in this group. 😃ha.

>3 Yamanekotei: 👍

>3 Yamanekotei: Haha! I didn't think of looking here :0D

77 PawsforThought : #10 is referring to a the very first of a recurring theme of LT hunts.

181 midnightcat : I just found them. Try the old email newsletter archives, the State of Things, I found them under the years for the hint

225 mr.philistine : This is shamelessly opportunistic...

Hint for #10 Check a pinned thread in the 'LT Treasure Hunts' group. And don't limit your search to the first post. :)

How can I find email archives? I'm only missing this clue! 🤔

>8 SquirrelHead: It is not an email! It's simpler than that

>8 SquirrelHead:
Did you follow the instruction that mr.philistine gave? Especially the second half is very important.

>10 Yamanekotei: I thought I did, but will check again. I'm obviously missing something!

Well this was a blast! I had so much fun with the clues and hunt. xo

>7 humouress: Now that is a valuable hint! Because I found that but the banner did not pop up and it left me confused. Your hint did the trick. Thanks!
