I had started off with making slurls that would deliver a pointer to either the front door of a place or the Steam Hunt sign so people wouldn't find themselves in a state of confusion when an LM put them at a landing point with no relationship to the correct shop.
However, when I'd finished putting out all the local fires and found myself with only three days to complete the hunt myself, I began to realize that people with similar problems, or those who only found out about it rather late in the month, were going to be scurrying around with little time to waste on gears that took an hour to find. Besides, it was taking too much time to find the gear and then backtrack to find an appropriate spot to point to - so I was pretty much making a slurl wherever I was standing when I found the gear. So it went at that point from being a hunt blog to a cheat sheet.
And just when I thought I was done, someone mentioned that there were two gears at #22 and the old clue wasn't any good anymore. I was trying to keep up with that sort of update so since I'd only found one gear at #22 originally, I had to go back. (Glad I did, too!)
My experience last year was that a lot of the shops left the gear up for at least another day or so (and a couple of places still had it up weeks later - and there was one place that still had last year's gear up on this hunt, which confused a lot of people), so if you didn't complete the hunt by midnight Pacific time March 31st, you may still be able to do it if you rush - and I've provided all the help I can.
