See if you can top Marley King, all you gotta do is find the thing!!!
ares
we were rather struck by the sight of all of them in the yard too, visible from the road leading into battle creek. in fact i commented that i don't think i've seen that yard that full in a good long time. we didn't get out at im, as that's where we had the chinese fire drill because me2's head crap threw her into quite the coughing spree.
:: debating whether i want to give me2 the chance to say what she told me she was gonna post in the cooler or whether i should just post it myself cuz i know she won't be back on till after tomorrow morning's clue ::
:: must remember to call her with the clue sometime around 915 tomorrow morning ::
I wish we had thought about checking out Hidden Falls. I'm trying to remember if there's railroad tracks up around there or not. I don't actually think it's there at this point - can't put the 30 to 40 or 40 to 30 there - but it would have been good to get a good look-see during daylight hours.
there aren't any there that i can think of, but there may be some visible from the park that cross the river (the same ones that are visible from cherokee, perhaps.
i drove around como this evening. didn't get out to go look anywhere. too dark out, and its not like i own a fully-decked-out squad car to light up what i'm looking at (though if i did, legal or not, you can bet i'd use every light on the thing i could turn on).
ya know, artemis, from day one of this hunt, i've had real problems with referring to it as "finding jake's treasure". i mean me2 witnessed him pee in the park in front of their house even though he could have just as easily went in their house to do it, i saw him pee in the woods in swede hollow, and i figure that by saying treasure it sounds too much like we're trying to find his "golden treasure" :)
note, jake, i'm not trying to rag on you with this, its just too damn coincidental is all.
not that i'm aware of, but here's what i've got for them:
Clue #1
The first one of the year Was found by the King Now go to a park in St. Paul And find the thing
Clue #2
Now “Old Hickory”, if you studied history Was General Andrew Jackson’s informal title Another Jackson may help solve this mystery But keeping sight of the General’s moniker is vital
Clue #3
There has been treasure In this park before But there are only three ways For one to keep score.
Â
Clue #4
Thirty to forty, forty to thirty This clue may seem confusing Remember that in the end We'll think this hunt was rather amusing
Â
Clue #5
Roll the dice Its one in six Box it out and you'll have your sticks.
The deck is stacked You just can't win This big dark cloud It has you pinned.
Clue #6
A man named Claven His useless facts Figure them out And he'll watch your back.
Clue #7
One to the right None to the left Look for an arrow Near the treasure site
Clue #8

That's it! WTG Mr Med! Before I got this clue Marley was making a good case for cherokee. There is a "Metric Autobody and parts" on Cherokee Blvd and Smith. With everything else and this last clue I think we've found the park.
we were rather struck by the sight of all of them in the yard too, visible from the road leading into battle creek. in fact i commented that i don't think i've seen that yard that full in a good long time. we didn't get out at im, as that's where we had the chinese fire drill because me2's head crap threw her into quite the coughing spree.

right now im thinking some shady ass tactics were thrown into this game, and its hidden at the frog pond, ya'll.
To be European
Would be interesting fun
Measure it up
And the game is won.
and jake has been known to be european. european in front of me2's house, european in swede hollow.

How about street names? There's an English St and a Rome St,

You can stop for a pop at a convenient store or cafe -
STOP sign

He mentions ONE alot! one/won
Add it up?
Great! A hunt when it's almost 60 degrees outside.
Coke Here - Cherokee
Somewhere in the neighborhood of King St.
See you out there.
What's the prize anyway?
What's the prize worth? I need to know if I need to leave work early.
As of right now $200
Maybe by a stop sign in a crushed up Coke can or by a big line of mysterious white stuff.

That's it! WTG Mr Med! Before I got this clue Marley was making a good case for cherokee. There is a "Metric Autobody and parts" on Cherokee Blvd and Smith. With everything else and this last clue I think we've found the park.
COKE HERE (?)
HERE's where my cache is.
Cooler! I love Cherokee. When we were scouting yesterday, I made note of that fire hydrant where it was found way back when.
Often when you're there, if you look up high, you'll see eagles soaring.
Cool Ian. I'll definitely bring the GPS for your cache while looking for the cash.
Remember how warm it was one time it was up there? That ice castle came down in no time. I also remember a lot of heavy melting snow too.
Coke Here - Cherokee Good Job Mr. Med!
Maybe the next clue will have something to due with a little cutie who was just found guilty of shoplifting?
Yeah- Jackson, MISSISSIPPI ;)
Ares & I were out and realized The Metric Auto Shop too-so somewhere between the tennis courts and Auto shop --King and Smith :)
Also - High Roller in craps and card game Bridge :) High Bridge
