Pretty cool Eben. You wouldnt believe how many times it comes up in conversation. Just the other weekend someone at a cookout was like "hey have you heard about the guy who put those orbs around block island?"

Awesome scavenger hunt, not only for that young couple in love or the veteran couple on a weekend get-away, but also for the family as a whole....very nice indeed.
Question: So 550 Orbs are hidden each year? Or since inception?.....seems like a lot if per year??? I know you want them to be found, but then again not too soon?
|
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

550 every year. I can make them fairly fast with 1 or 2 people helping me. (I'm making them right now)
