I want somebody to play something ending with S, I have something interesting...

Three of the dozen photos left in my inventory, starting with M, N, and V, would help you (the N___s is most likely to come up).

We could use more opportunities to play Ms and Ws, which would really help draw down my inventory. But those seem not to come up too often. I'm not sure a ___v has ever been played.

Healing Springs ---> Sedona (or the Village of Oak Creek). I was digging through pictures yesterday and found this. Nice photo, especially since I took it with an iPhone from the passenger seat of my brother-in-law's van.

I thought I had played this, but a search shows I didn't. Damn, I could have played an "N" much earlier instead of sitting out because I thought I didn't have any.

Atlin ---> New Stanton (I guess I'm not helping matters!)

Given my username and its origin, what an appropriate response that photo is.

I'm tempted to replay my Sedona photo from up the thread, but I'm not sure "Oak Creek" would be a valid play. A sign reading "Village of ____" is a pretty unusual thing, so I suspect "Village of" may be part of the full name such that it would have to be part of an elusive "____v." Oh well. Unless I have a dashcam capture somewhere, I don't think I have another "O."
