If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

JanetinKy is sooooo close that we're not even going to reveal her guess. But she's in the right park. Just the wrong building.


Is it part of Old Faithfull Inn in Yellowstone?


Most definitely not, David.


Celbert, you nailed it! With time to spare. Congrats, although it's a bit lonely in the reception room.
