Addiction. . . And Then Some

If you should see this game at your local Walmart or a gaming store RUN, I repeat RUN, RUN FAST in the opposite direction! My daughter Jan got me hooked, yes, as in addicted, to this little ditty. When I came home from Arizona I couldn't find it. I finally found it on E-Bay and Jan got it for me. Oh to the Wizards of Games I wished she hadn't of. But alas, my tale of woe began.
You see, there are several images like the one above and the object is to find all the objects listed along with 5 jewels. What you don't know until you accidentally click on one is there are hidden items, only one per image, in SOME of the images as well. When you click on one of these images up pops this. . .

Look closely because you only see this image when you haphazardly find one of the items. Make notes when it pops up so you can remember what you need to fill in the circles. You are the ULTIMATE MOUNTAINEER when you find all the items.
WARNING: This game is addicting and could cause you to lose sleep, lose weight, become bleery-eyed and grouchy. My dishes have been left unwashed, my bed unmade, my hair in the same pony tail I went to bed with, I'm still sitting in my bathrobe at 11 in the morning at the computer dazed and shaking.
Jan and I have spent great sums of time on the phone looking for an item and taking notes. What has happened to us?? Is there no salvation?
What? My Sweet Man says, "shut it off and walk away."
Yes yes, I know he's right but let me just find the white rabbit and then I'll I'll I'll turn it off.
I swear. . . . .

Thanks Jan

This is my granddaughter Morgan, the whizbang jewel finder, and me playing Hidden Expedition Everest. They got me hooked (and I do mean hooked as in addicted) on this pc game while I was home visiting.
I've been looking for it all over since I got back to the Heartland and no one had it. By chance I stopped into a way-out-game store and voila they had 1. The problem was I needed a small bank loan to purchase it. Finally I went on ebay and found all kinds of them but I had closed my pay pal account some time ago from lack of use. I knew my son-in-law had an account so I asked Jan to have him get me one and then I'd send them the $$. Look what came in the mail for Mother's Day. No check required. I called her last night and put the phone up to the speaker and asked her if she recognized the sound in the background. She laughed at me as if she has room to laugh cuz she's all excited and tells me, "Mom, I've got a new place for games and off we went....
THANK YOU JAN AND FAMILY!!
My itch has been scratched.
