Month of the Greats - Ithi & Rhea's Excellent Adventure

[Ithillian Turambar]

*the Questers enjoyed their fully reclining seats and the in flight movie before all too soon it seemed to touch down and they were whisked into an awaiting mini bus for their trip to Mount Rushmore*

 

Wow that's quite a sight. Why don't they do stuff like this anymore?

 

*click*

 

 

The screen went dark and the following words appeared

 

George Washington was a Bearer of Excalibur

 

Again the short pause before the screen went black again. And then the next clue appeared.

 

My work ensured their freedom, the Vise forever my goal. This place that holds remembrance for those who tolled the toll.

 

Where to next? Can we have a hot dog whilst we figure out our next move?

[Gudrean]

Abe Lincoln?

[Rhea]

Hot dogs for Ithi!!

 

With sauerkraut for me!!!

 

 

Abe Lincoln? Hmmm....I think we are on the right track. 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

lincoln memorial?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

tho the toll thing sounds like the liberty bell....

 

either way... philadelphia?

[Ithillian Turambar]

I don't think it is actually Lincoln though - although I can see why his name popped up. Perhaps the person we need did similar things though and that's why the Clue brought Lincoln to mind.

[Rhea]

I've got a feeling we're crossing the pond again.

[Ithillian Turambar]

I wish Concorde was still about.

[Rhea]

Me too! I think we should put that private jet on a retainer.

 

That pilot was pretty cute!

[Turin Turambar]

Too bad we can't just whip up one of those gateway thingamajiggys. We could be wherever we were going in next to no time.

 

 

Where are we going anyway? Can we do one of those crazy TopGear races on the way?

[Nishfa Aishath]

Ulysses Grant..?

[Ithillian Turambar]

Ok ... we will use the Jet. What do you plan to use?

 

And where exactly are we going anyway? Does anyone have any idea who the next Bearer might be?

[Ithillian Turambar]

I don't think we are staying in America ...

[Nishfa Aishath]

Ok, im stumped...l think I'm gonna sit back and relax awhile

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I'll think at work... I fell asleep during the intermission :)

[Elaevia]

this ones tricky!

toll could mean bell toll, or paying a toll like at a bridge, or as in taking its toll

[Ithillian Turambar]

Let's look at the clue again

 

My work ensured their freedom, the Vise forever my goal. This place that holds remembrance for those who tolled the toll.

 

Are there any famous people who's work ensured freedom. They should be from a little later date than our last Great.

[Gudrean]

Harriet Tubman?

[Ithillian Turambar]

I am quite certain we will be leaving America again ... perhaps we will even be going back to England.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

lord Mansfield or William Cowper?

[Ithillian Turambar]

No - I don't think so, but it's amazing how many times the name William pops up.

[Gudrean]

or Frederick Douglass, who was the first African American nominated for Vice President.

[Ithillian Turambar]

... not America. I miss tea.

[Gudrean]

he did travel to Liverpool

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it's going to have a William in it
