Pier: "He headed up Pier Two Street, cursing its incline and the fact he had not noticed it very much when he was sober." Page 32

Weather: "She knew the only reason the Land was not flooded by Kabliw was that most Kabliw couldn’t sustain in the weather." Page 4
Worthy: "Such trade and goodwill came by the northerly settlements and others up and down river, bearing pelts, boatloads of exotic foods, mined elements from neighboring towns, and other worthy freight—what couldn’t be brought overland or was simply easier shipped by waterway." Page 205
BONUS: Atmosphere: The shadows and lavender moonlight descend on the fort to knit a ghostly atmosphere, fitting for the stories he heard from his men on winter nights before taps, or when they were in the field, those few moments before they rolled over and tried to forget they were in the open, subject to wolves and spirits." Page 217
BONUS: Pedestrian: "The streets broadened out to accommodate various modes of travel, as well as the surge of pedestrian traffic that filled the lines of throughways by high noon." Page 36

Question:

"national anthem" Do you want that specific phrase or will the TITLE of the national anthem suffice? E.g. "Star Spangled Banner" or "Oh, Canada!"

Are you sure you want to finish now? It looks like you have a few missing, and this challenge goes through September... Your call, but I wanted to let you know.

Update to #6: I'm going to call it finished with missing national anthem. I just now saw the post about using the title being okay, and now I can't remember the book I read that mentioned "Oh, Canada!" I read a few July 4th books and if those weren't gonna mention ours, I don't think anything I can come up with will have it lol. Trying to pare down my challenges as I head into craft show sewing season :)

Bummer! I understand though. I do try to keep things fairly flexible. For example - if I posted "National Park", I'd accept Yellowstone, Yosemite, Tetons. However, with something like Grand Canyon, it would have to actually refer to Grand Canyon National Park and not just the canyon itself. Hope that makes sense (and helps)!
