 		I'll have the Tempe, AZ drop tomorrow.

Or rather, I'll be at work, giving my boyfriend GPS coordinates to the Tempe drop.

This should be interesting. I'll get pics when I get home from work, provided he gets there first.

 		I'm all excited about tomorrow's drop!

But more to the point, the second lot of account numbers are on the site, and are very easy to find/spot, so I won't even bother posting spoilers here. Go see!

 		Ok, seriously, last post before someone else replies. Sorry guys.

I'm debating going after the ATL drop but it's a two hour drive from my place and the coords are live already. What do you folks think, is it worth it or will it be gone before I get there?

 		DAMN IT!

I miscalculated the Miami date to begin with, thought it was tomorrow. It was today!

Secondly, the drop's in a really bad place...

25.786981,-80.179092

...just off the Macarthur Causeway on Watson Island. Without a car, I wouldn't been able to have gotten there anyway.

Anyone in the Miami area?

Go get it then! Shoot me a PM if you need some help. Here's the drop:

ATL Drop 1

I'm going to try for the one next week. I'm just going to take the day off and head to ATL early in the morning.

EDIT:

 		got the updated and verified list posted here (but the drop details aren't listed)... yeah, the drops are appearing before their counters hit 0. But the other counts haven't changed...

Yeah, ATL Drop 1 wasn't due to go live until 1 PM. Hopefully Transtar doesn't get there and it's not out yet... Shocked

EDIT: So Transtar just got there and the lock wasn't there yet. Transtar said he found the phone booth described in the clue, but no lock, so it wasn't picked up prior to his arrival. Apparently the site is giving out the coords/combo BEFORE the drops are placed so watch out folks.

Transtar is going to return at 1 PM when the drop was previously listed as going live and see if it's there. Since the site doesn't register it as having been obtained and there was no lock I would say the info went live early.

What time is it there now? Just so I've got some idea of exactly how early it went up...

 		The first two drops I think went live online around 9am Eastern (3 hours before the countdown hit zero). It's possible it went up earlier. Anyone else check earlier?

I've updated the list to keep the initial countdown target time shown.
Seems as though they'r ebeing planned as:
- Info up at 3 hours before zero
- Locks available at zero
- Window for pickup for 3 hours after zero.

Seems odd though, if people know where to go, but the thing isn't there for three more hours...

How late did Transtar get there? Is he sure the lock wasn't taken?
The Boston lock looked clearly as though it could be taken from the location...

 		Yeah that does seem like a strange way to play it - especially given that last weeks bunch didn't play out like that at all... Is it possible the PM's will twig to what's happened and change locations?

EDIT: @thebruce - this isn't a 42E game, is it?

 		The timers have all reset for today, and the drops are now hours away. PMs fixed it, mayhaps?

I wonder if the drops are in new locations, or the same ones...

EDIT: looks like they got things sorted. My boyfriend is heading off to the Tempe drop right now. Still don't have anyone able to get the Phoenix or Mesa drops today, so we might lose those ones.
