Over the course of the hunt, the amazing hunt volunteers have collected some comments from hunters and vendors about the SLD hunt - if you have a comment you'd like to share, please let me (Audra Siemens) know and I'll post them here. These are so we can do better the next time, to help vendors and to give kudos if you'd like.

So lets get down to it! There are quite a few, so they're under the "Read More".

Enjoy!

Reesa Rieko: ty :)  Great Hunt!  Thanks everyone for the help/hints... for the time and effort organizing this (and the nightmares it may have caused you... I know I had some dreams because of it!) 

Azalea Hazelnut: This was the first hunt I have ever done, I have to say that the organisation and help was second to none. I just wish to thank the hunt organisers, hunt officers and all the vendors for their gifts. I have kept many of the landmarks, I did not know there were so many interesting places. I just hope all other hunts live up to what I now expect.  lol
