Puzzle Notes
Dear friends:
Forest bathing, but in a grid? Yes, please! Roster member Kate's 14x11 themed puzzle, "Petrified Forest," offers just the right balance of forest floor crunch and leaf peeping calm to make this a satisfying solve.
Kate says: "I love hiking in national parks; the name for this puzzle was inspired by one of my favorites in Arizona. I hope this goofy interpretation of what we might expect to find there makes you smile. Thanks to the Lil AVCX crew for helping me think through the possibilities!"

Headed to your inbox next week from Lil AVCX: a themeless beaut from roster member Kim.
As always, thanks for your support!
Your friends at Lil AVCX
