Puzzle Notes

Hi friends: 

Francis Heaney graces us with a fine, 4/5 difficulty puzzle called "Arduous Hike" this week. The theme is based on a true story...

Hard to believe we're halfway through 2015! This is the 26th puzzle of the year. We'll have a bonus puzzle for you next week, and plenty more after that.
