You didn’t know whether a snipe was a bird or a furry animal before you went on the hunt – and still don’t.

You use all your gas driving past the Grill, around the Dairy Maid and down through town and you must stop at the
gas station across from the Dairy Maid and ask for a "quarter's" worth of gas just to get home.
