I tried putting in a password of 'where' as in Tell me where.
Worth a shot.

This is an interesting hunt!
A new prize was added to the Tell Me Where page on 1/13 - a grizzly teddy bear from Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel Gift Shop in Yellowstone National Park. Checking out that area on Google Maps shows the hotel about a block from a general store and gas station sitting side by side. Not sure if this is a coincidence, but it could be good to look at Yellowstone or Wyoming more generally as a point of exploration.

Anyone else getting a headache working on this?  Ugh! |

Impossible to solve! But I bet the answer will be something simple. I don't know if we’re supposed to pick out key names like Stacy, McHammer, Zebra, etc. or just numbers like 11.
Anyone think that’s MC Hammer, the rapper?

I had that thought too...McHammer's = MC Hammer!
Thoughts on this.....
" 'there’s nothing worse than a moocher'...I suppose the saying is at least half accurate" - why only half accurate? Half the sentence/words etc or is 'half'a clue?

Thoughts I had about numbers:
Where he talks about separating the summer months from the rest of the year, that would be 3 of 12 or 1/4. Then later in that paragraph he mentions 56. 1/4 of 56 is 14, so maybe the take away number from that paragraph is 14.
In the second hint video, the narrator says the perforated paper is translated into...and then is cut off abruptly. Can we assume what came next is “numbers and letters” and that is important? I’ve been trying to find the original video online but no luck.

I started thinking about 56, 50 and 55, maybe they were route numbers - route 50, the section through Nevada is known as the loneliest road in the US
I also picked up on the degree taking 'all but short of 4 years'....1460 or 1461 (including a leap year)
Also how about the Ford T car in video 1, known as the Tin Lizzie

Yep, I'll go with "U Can't Touch This" is a rude sign! Good thinking, now only if the rest of it made sense.
Places that would have signs like that could be museums, art galleries etc..off on a tangent - Van Gogh, Picasso, Hopper and Guglielmi all painted famous pieces of art expressing loneliness and Van Gogh also painted Sunflowers and was considered a 'lonely' man
" Since this was one of the largest buildings in town and franchises weren’t let in, they had somewhat of a monopoly on the local market" - the largest building in a town (art gallery/museum etc), and possibly linked to a Monopoly board somehow (clutching at straws here!)?

I've just watched the whole Winning Your Wings film and...I'm none the wiser!
I just keep coming back to the fact there are a lot of clues that point to outer space and flying

So I have been all over this and I think it would help immensely if we knew if we we entering a location with words, an address, and if we need punctuation like commas.
It makes a huge difference if we are entering a “place” like “above the clouds”, a location like an Air Force base, the detailed address of a location with zip code or gps coordinates, etc.
There are exact locations in places for example in Kansas where the official name differs or was different back during the first half of the 20th century.
Again, it is just too ambiguous.
I agree that the password, not the solve, is most likely simple, but not even knowing the number of characters, etc. is having me fading away from this one as I’ve entered hundreds of possible passwords from areas in NE and KS to other states, trail sites, to far away places, to places in and around Yellowstone, etc.
There are several locations in Kansas and Nebraska that tie to lonely places, lone trees, quiet places, silent places, Army/Air Forces bases and training facilities and memorials, black and white, silver, silent films - theaters / movie making, resting places, Beatrice, Zebra/code, numbers, Faroe Islands, Wanaka, and coming of age / aspirational / military / flying “places”.
Also went briefly in the rapper direction with Hammer, Riff Raff, Beatrice, Yancey. But nothing.
There is also a 1st McDonalds/food play with McHammer - shakes, oil, prime, Monopoly, toys ( Buster/Michael Keaton as Kroc in The Founder) Just too many and with no way to know if you are close or not, or just a comma off, it is too wide a net. Kinda like being in a massacre.

Good Evening,
I've been working this one for about two weeks and stumbled across this board. Wanted to say hello!

Ugh!
