One Week And Counting...
Your Mystery Friends have sent in another set of clues (aren't they being sneaky?!)
and they will send in only one more set of clues on April 24 and then you'll
have a chance to place your guesses! You'll find today's set of clues below.
We're also sending this week's Sunrise/Sunset Data, with thanks again to Mrs.
Berger's class!
We know you're working hard to uncover the Mystery Sites--keep up the good work!
Remember, these times were recorded on Monday, the same day you recorded your sunrise/sunset
times.
Here's this week's data:
