The previous puzzle took me a week to complete, this one- with a smaller piece count- took multiple sittings in just one day. It was easy and fun. I can see why people love Dowdle puzzles. The box and packaging quality is super. It has a picture sleeve around a sturdy hinged box with a velcro clasp flap. The small reference poster has information on the flip side about the image- in this case, it identifies various features in the picture, which I assume are actual shops and places at Bear Lake. It’s a place I heard of many times when I was a college student long ago (in Idaho), but never had the opportunity to go myself. The puzzle did have some surface glare, but otherwise a very nice assembly experience. Nice clear picture with bright colors and interesting details. It’s not my favorite type of picture (so many busy little things) but I liked it well enough.
Two of the progress shots were taken with my flip phone instead of the regular digital camera. I think they came out much better in a pinch this time.
Final size 20 x 16″.
