Dave Barry
The Miami Herald
It's a South Florida favorite and it's finally here this weekend. The annual "Herald Hunt" kicks off Sunday on Miami Beach.
The zany event, billed as an "urban puzzle safari", sends thousands of participants on a unique search in which players attempt to solve a series of bizarre clues. Players follow a "roadmap" which is located in Sunday's edition of The Herald.
Dave Berry and Tom Schroder, two of the nation's top journalistic powerhouses, came up with clues that inevitably confound players, some of whom fly in from all over the country just for the occasion.
The first three teams or individuals to finish will win a prize, but most are driven simply by the thrill of the chase.
