Steamboat Springs, Colorado
i think, unintentionally, a bunch of the clues were just misleading us in directions that didnt necessarily need to confuse us, like jumping ship, ie, I was always looking for somewhere close to the ocean that possibly had a connecting ferry route, i had previously searched for a place called 'steam springs' but oddly nothing came up, also there were a bunch of cities in oregon called 'twomile' 'fourmile' or that had mile in its name, so that was also throwing me off... even with the clue regarding using a steam iron, my head was still wrapped around the actual 'chore'.. and looked for places that might have to do with 'wrinkle' or 'press' etc..
anyhow, ayeyeyeye.......
