Somebody is about to get our Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park license plate purse!

The winner will be determined by the time stamp on their entry, in this case accepted only as a comment posted below. To keep the contest fair, no comment (entry) will be posted until 5 p.m. today. But the first reader to submit the correct answer will soon be swinging a hot little purse. Because we’re suckers for fashion fights, modest runner-up prizes will be given to the next four correct readers.

If you’ve been playing along, use the answers you found from previous clues to solve the following riddle:

Six bison stumble into the Beach Bar and start drinking themselves silly. One of the bison dies! The rest stumble into the street. What are they?

We just took a tour of the Hillcrest Guest House, and I gotta tell you, if you’re on a budget and there’s a vacancy here, you should take it. Owner Phyllis Hall runs a good property. There are four adorable air-conditioned guest suites, one of them big enough to accommodate 5. The place is spotless and it is an easy walk to town. The thing about this place is “bang for buck.” You don’t get bottled water and crackers and cheese on arrival. You get bottled water and crackers and cheese and soda and beer and a fruit basket and eggs and bacon and juice in the frig. Items may vary, but Phyllis does more guest stocking than anyplace we’ve ever been. There’s WiFi, cable, parking, beach chairs and a great view over Cruz Bay. Check it out. The Hillcrest Guest House Website is here.

Low Key Watersports mascot Tigger is very sick. Over the course of barely a week, Tigger went from happy-go-lucky Tigger, to being completely paralyzed. Can’t move any of his legs.

After a battery of tests, the best diagnosis is something called Coonhound Paralysis. If that’s what it is, Tigger may be down for months, but he’s got a chance at recovering. In the meantime, Tigger’s human Mom, Anne Marie, has been spending full time caring for him. Ann Marie says her Dad is flying in from California to take over so she can get back to work, where the staff has been minding the shop. If anybody has any insight on Coonhound Paralysis, Ann Marie would love to hear about it. In the meantime, your wishes for a speedy recovery are appreciated.

Oh, when I said Tigger was totally paralyzed, that wasn’t completely true. He can’t move a muscle, except the one that wags his tail. That one’s working overtime.

Here’s a fun, belly-tickling drive. A twisty, hilly stretch of road that runs from Coral Bay to Concordia and that remains in nearly pristine condition. Seriously, it is one of the smoothest, most pothole free stretches of road anywhere on the island. And did we mention it’s hilly, twisty and belly-tickling? Today, we’ll just go from Shipwreck Landing to the Coccoloba shopping complex. Tickle your belly….below.
