well, at least i noodled half the clues the right way. and i no longer believe in the third time being the charm. congratulations, jake.
:: sigh ::
ya know, i wouldn't mind seeing the post-hunt party moved to friday nite so that those of us who insist on closing the place down can sleep in the next day (hint, hint)
Marley and Artemis - Good clues! So many could be interpreted so many different ways you guys had us all over the place. I would guess that writing the clues for one park you didn't see all the possible noodles everyone came up with. I bet that was fun to watch.
Thanks for a fun hunt.
Congratulations to Jake. That makes him 2 for 2 in the hunts he was able to participate in this year.
i think you got most of them me2. i was out at mears, among other places the nite of clue 6 (in fact, marley said to me on jake's ohone last nite "you f***er, you had it after 6 clues"). that was the nite i saw the award winning landscape and held on to it, but couldn't place where it was, so i drove back down there sunday nite to find it. at 824 pm sunday nite i called it for sure that it would be in mears, in an im chat with marley. wednesday nite was also when i discovered commonwealth land title across the street, and told me2 about it on the phone.
when i got to mears last nite, after kids told me it was there for sure and he could link everything up there, my first inclination for the protruding squares was the 13 paper boxes on 5th and sibley. 11 along sibley and 2 along 5th. they had me pulling up covers for the control valves for the sprinkler system and everything to find the thing. but alas, the most frustrating aspect of it is that i had my hand right there, and didn't feel around enough in the opening under the clock to find it. jake, man, you earned this one. and like i told ya last nite. if by some chance the pp mentions you again before the next wc hunt, you've got a hell of a story to tell 'em.
while searching swede on sunday, we found several "treasures". an almost full (but opened) beer, an empty ice mountain water bottle, a watch face, and a 7 that me2 kicked off of a new york yankees stocking cap. the 7 actually was a piece of the logo that broke off. so we put it all in this here tree.
If you look at the clock pic it shows a circle on a square but it also shows the square on the circle concrete pedistal - which MOST everyone thought as the other circle-not neccessarily the circle in the parksquare as a whole.
How would you like to be an egg? You only get laid once. You only get eaten once. It takes four minutes to get hard. Only two minutes to get soft. You share your box with 11 other guys. But worst of all... the only chick that ever sat on your face was your mother!!! So cheer up, Your life ain't that bad!!!! Pass it around to someone who you feel can use a good lay I mean day!!!!!
there will be another hunt-maybe not with clues as good as this one...::still sighing::
Looks like some less than dry weather is heading our way. Good thing that thing was found last night.
We won't be able to make it to the party tonight - our real life is getting in the way. On Friday my son is supposed to be arriving home here. Haven't seen him since early June so we'll be spending some time with him.
Marley and Artemis - Great clues. Great hunt. Thanks! It was fun noodling and getting aquainted with some parks up close and personal like. Those clues led us Harriet Island, Kellogg, Rice, a drive thru at Cherokee, Prospect, a drive thru Como, a drive thru and little wandering around Mounds.
I will say I think I had as much fun being the clue writer as I would hunting.(thinking what everyone would think and officially getting to be a spotter/spy) ; > )
And also I need to say that there was THREE of us taking part in the clue writing! My bro scot who found jakes coin had a big part and was there everynight we were!
See everyone at buggs!!
I had funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!
Scot-thanks for your ideas with this hunt too- looks like your getting 'realed' in :)
David-I am glad you came, I always appreciate your opinions :)
It would have been great for everyone to make it but, I almost didn't, so I know the feeling-we had a fun time where if it wern't for the rain we probly would have talked longer :)
just a good one---I called into qwest thismorning to find out my 'minutes of use'-we all know I went over...so before she says how many, I say '1020, geesh its probly 1007' (just because of those 7's lately)---needless to say...she says 'you have used an estimated 1 thousand 20 minutes' --wow!
Sorry I didn't make it last night. I wanted to, but the body just wasn't up for it. I wore myself out with this hunt. Besides that, I painted some of the house here for my grandpa in the morning, then worked in the evening. As I told Me2 yesterday, I didn't feel like Medalling Kids, I felt like an Old Man.
I think...
I will...
before I ...
turn in...

Think of how the poor guy would feel if his woman found it. I'm sure that would show up in some divorce papers later in life. ;-)

Jake I think you should have the get together on friday!
Tonite might be to early for people. We want to close the place down agian and not have to worry about work in the morn!
I will call you today jake!
while searching swede on sunday, we found several "treasures". an almost full (but opened) beer, an empty ice mountain water bottle, a watch face, and a 7 that me2 kicked off of a new york yankees stocking cap. the 7 actually was a piece of the logo that broke off. so we put it all in this here tree.
and to think I used to live right across the street from there
Ok nobody has found the SECOND coin yet!!!
So get out there and look!!!
Just kidding!
Picture of the clock right after I put the coin there!
The meter right out from the clock also had 215 on it!
And my favorite the clue that didnt get used Swift Steve!
can someone explain to me why a meter would have 2:15 on it at 9 at nite?
I did get a treasure last night. A box of Washington County Parks crayons.
Neener Neener.
can someone explain to me why a meter would have 2:15 on it at 9 at nite?
It's meter #215, not the time.
oh. duuuuhhhhh.
:: smacks self on head ::
also, for anyone who doesn't want to have to open up marley's attachments:
the clock:
the meter:
and swift steve:
damn, i wish my camera took pictures that well at nite.
Goodafternoon-
If you look at the clock pic it shows a circle on a square but it also shows the square on the circle concrete pedistal - which MOST everyone thought as the other circle-not neccessarily the circle in the parksquare as a whole.
Notice WHO got the thousandth post?
and he didn't even claim it-
I look forward to going tonight to Buggs-not exactly excited about seeing that naked girl there again but darts and pool would be a nice 'cooldown'.
AND mostly cause summer is almost over and kids go back to school soon-I may head up to the lake this weekend-
Jake says Buggs at 8-note:party doesn't start though til I get there about 9:30 :)
how could you not claim that one, jake???
OK-I IM'd with a girlfriend late last night-thismorning she sent me this and I thought I should share with the 'class' :)...
How would you like to be an egg?
You only get laid once.
You only get eaten once.
It takes four minutes to get hard.
Only two minutes to get soft.
You share your box with 11 other guys.
But worst of all...
the only chick that ever sat on your face was your mother!!!
So cheer up, Your life ain't that bad!!!!
Pass it around to someone who you feel can use a good lay
I mean day!!!!!
there will be another hunt-maybe not with clues as good as this one...::still sighing::
so I hope you all have a good day
1100 double 1 double 0 JOE :)

Had a great time at Buggs! Closed down the bar without you Jake : )
AW-it was good to see you
TV & Inks-sorry you couldn't make it, we missed you
CM-thought we'd see you there, we missed you too
You too, Kids!
Until next time everyone! MCL, Artemis, Marley, and Scot
Sorry we couldn't make it too. Just wasn't gonna happen. Glad you all had a good time though.
Stay dry and cooler today!
Goodmorning-
Scot-thanks for your ideas with this hunt too- looks like your getting 'realed' in :)
David-I am glad you came, I always appreciate your opinions :)
It would have been great for everyone to make it but, I almost didn't, so I know the feeling-we had a fun time where if it wern't for the rain we probly would have talked longer :)
it rained last nite? :)
just a good one---I called into qwest thismorning to find out my 'minutes of use'-we all know I went over...so before she says how many, I say '1020, geesh its probly 1007' (just because of those 7's lately)---needless to say...she says 'you have used an estimated 1 thousand 20 minutes' --wow!
NO more '2 hunts in one phone-bill cycle' again!
Sorry I didn't make it last night. I wanted to, but the body just wasn't up for it. I wore myself out with this hunt. Besides that, I painted some of the house here for my grandpa in the morning, then worked in the evening. As I told Me2 yesterday, I didn't feel like Medalling Kids, I felt like an Old Man.
