Stressful but yeah so far lots of fun.

Yeah it's a good question, because it's important to start with as much of a jolt as you can.

I launched the hunt the same day it got covered in a local popular Charlotte NC newsletter:

So that helped kickstart it and was always part of the plan when I decided to actually do it.
