Thanks to me, I just found it, but I swear it wasn't there before, can't be, well, maybe.

There are so many items in that room that's it's easy to miss something!

go to post office and they will give you a duplicate key.Ã,  There are different streets than just home and park.Ã,  Try one of those left or right handed streets......You will see the PO

I've been away from AGS too long.  I can't find the dog toy...tried clicking in the snow around the mailboxes, fire hydrant, trees...
Tried keys and knife on gate.
A nudge in the right direction please?
Thanks!

You're looking in the right area...

Spoiler

Behind the mailboxes you'll see a fence and gate.Ã,  Click the gate area and you'll walk over to the park entrance.Ã,  You'll have to open the latch on the gate to open it.  I think that should get you going.Ã,

Eugene, your game is outstanding -- beautiful and fun to play.  I am having the same problem that Jane had, but my manual dexterity, combined with my use of a touchpad rather than a mouse, is making it impossible for me to do this quick maneuver to complete the task with the bucket.  I believe this task isn't really very realistic, either, since ordinarily one would have the bucket handy sitting on the decking rather than stuffed in a rucksack each time one goes to get the water flowing.  Do you have any ideas for how I could finish the game despite my physical inability to complete this task?
My only suggestion to make this game more fun for those of us who aren't physically quick is to find a way to make this less of a task of quick movement and more of a problem-solving task. 
Thanks for all the work you put into this game, and for sharing it with all of us.

WOW!  I didn't even realize this forum was even created!
I'm glad everyone is enjoying the game!!! 

Jane, you're right, the "drill" does stop after a few of seconds, so it takes a bit of quick clicking.

Spoiler

Turn the drill, then quickly open your inventory and grab the bucket, and lastly touch the water.
(TIP: Right-click to open your inventory instead of using the top-left icon.)

In regard to the "drill" puzzle, I really insist that people try to solve it as has been posted before...quick clicking...

BUT if you absolutely can't do it this way (ie. if you use a touchpad) then read the following spoiler to bypass the puzzle:

Spoiler

When you fill the bucket with the blue water from the drill and pour it onto the "circular machine", two symbols are revealed.  The letters are:  alpha & omega.  They sort of look like a small letter 'a' and 'w'.

Thank you! Gosh, it was so simple and I made it into something complicated...
What a beautiful game, Eugene!
I'm stuck again....

Spoiler

I've got the 2 way radio, and I'm just looking for somewhere to use it.  Tried all the channels in the hut on the beach, and a few other places as well, but no answer.  I'm assuming the correct channel is 83, though?  Not sure what to do here...

Karelimur,

Spoiler

Walk to the top of the mountain (Monte Sombras) and then turn to your left.Ã,  This is a "nice secluded spot" to use the radio.

OK- I just got the scepter- and am lost! Any ideas?

[sholson]

Love this game-When you say "drill machine" are you referring to the circular machine?

[Rosie]

Yes I think so.... The drill machine is that circular machine in the water garden.......You have to get some water into it to get it to flow....

[karelimur]

Right there with ya....

[Eugene]

You want to climb to the highest point of Monte Sobras and use the scepter there.

Spoiler

If you feel around the dark cave, your notice rock walls and a metal area.  In the metal area you'll find a hole.  That should be enough to get you going.

maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to pick up the dog toy. Ã, I tried clicking on it for like thousands of time, but all I get is the same message. Ã, I can't pick it up no matter how I click my mouse or press the keyboard.

Can someone please help me?

[gogsjames]

Great game, and a good hints system if not overused.
But for all of that I'm stuck. Have got to the lighthouse but can't get any further. I'm unable to buy another ticket for the elevator, been back to the beach at the wind generator. How do I get below the lighthouse please?
