From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, We fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea. First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.
Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun. We have fought in every clime and place, where we could take a gun. In the snow of far off northern lands and in sunny tropic scenes, You will find us always on the job, The United States Marines.
Here’s health to you and to our Corps which we are proud to serve. In many a strife we’ve fought for life and never lost our nerve. If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven’s scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.
Green - Eags has been here numerous times in recent days. She even did a cute piece of poetry yesterday I think it was. You must not have slogged at all.
Things are as done around here tonight as they are going to get...and probably as done as they will be for days to come.
Well, I'm glad she knows about here. She's been over at MomP, and gods knows that's where I think all this should go on (or I did more so B4 they yanked our Web site with no fair-thee-well, or kiss my back end...), but this izz where she needs to bee...
I am too tired! I am gonna go to bed, but I will definetely come to the PP on Thurs, maybe tomarrow. Have fun at the PP. Hopefully it won't be found before I wake up tomarrow. This way I will have incentive to get out of bed... to get the CLUE!!!!!
Ahhhhh! A hot Bath! Gotta love my nurse and she gave me all my meds! So now that I am sane and warm...and after hearing what the windchill is outside tonight(not 2 mention what it will be tomorrow!) I am staying home and collecting the clue in the comfort and warmth of my hospital bed.:)
Battle Creek fits well with those theories as well...maybe too much for only the third clue and I'll include all of mine in that staement as well....I am holding them to their promise to us in the first clue!
Puck - It's nice to see another long-time hunter here. I'm so used to being frustrated that it's a feeling I wonder if I'd miss if I actually ever did find the darned thing.
Puck, ask any and all here. LOL!!! Not one will lie to you... I'm HORRIBLE at guessing these stupid Clues.
I've gotten one rite "Woodrow Wilson." Conway.
Most years, I'm digging away - totally ALONE - at some forlorn park (usually BC, Phalen, Como, or Chair-O-Key) all by my lonesome. While my compatriots get ever closer to The Puck.
Ah, well! :D It least I stand up for - bend over and dig for??? - my beliefs!!! :D
Hang in there, Buddy!!! Good things come to those who believe!
I'm waiting for Dave for the clue tonight, little cold and an early class make hanging around in here, much more appealing. I mean can you really beat this company??
Otay, Puck... Yust *how* do you get from Africa (Tripoli) to a bus shelter?
And by-the-by, all is worthless/worth something here. No charge. Keep yur pennies.
Methinks still too early for streets yust yet. But snot too early for a "Capital!" view! :D
I still stink Chair-O-Key.
sorry all i got kicked off the web
Mat-hew...
The Med has for years been referred to as "the puck."
Think "Capital!" as in Xcel-lent - British term - for a view, being in viewing distance.
Digger- did you slog my earlier post?
very good leelabell
Wasn't Tripoli in the Marine's song - still a battle song. Let me go check.
Marine Corp Theme
Wide as triple E == st paul
A parkway that stretches across st paul?
Mississippi?
The Marine Hymn
From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea.

they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.
"From the halls of Montazuma, to the shores of Tripoli...
We will fight our countries battles..."
Can't remember the rest...
Leela, what did you come up with?
Green - Eags has been here numerous times in recent days. She even did a cute piece of poetry yesterday I think it was. You must not have slogged at all.

An hour till the clue!
Can't find details on how he died - just that he was martyred
Not sure how it applies - may to say the park is in St. Paul? Maybe the Mississippi River like you say. Maybe 94 or 35E? I am not sure.
Oh, crap!
On we on Annoplis, AGAIN?
Nah. Thass Navy.
That line of double division ran across my mind more than once.
Dome mode demo.
To and fro.
well, see ya'll at clue time- and Thursday night for the Luau- I can't wait to see everyone!
I tole you I didn't - slog - Ter.
Well, I'm glad she knows about here. She's been over at MomP, and gods knows that's where I think all this should go on (or I did more so B4 they yanked our Web site with no fair-thee-well, or kiss my back end...), but this izz where she needs to bee...
Thanks, Ter. I feel better.
I am too tired! I am gonna go to bed, but I will definetely come to the PP on Thurs, maybe tomarrow. Have fun at the PP. Hopefully it won't be found before I wake up tomarrow. This way I will have incentive to get out of bed... to get the CLUE!!!!!
SCD's MCL and so on...
Green, I posted the lyrics above. The Battle Hymn is the one that goes, Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory
I'm with Tim, I'm gonna stay in tonight, my first 7:30 class of the semester is tomorrow, I'll try and make it out tomorrow night
Leela, I got it. I had the first one.5 lines o'the Marine hymn rite. Well, kind'a rite. :D
Eags poem!
Alli-Sins
am not saying it is not in battle creek - it very well might
It could still be ANYWHERE everyone is still right at this point!
night timmers!
At this point, all ideas and noodles have merit. None of us know. If we did, we wouldn't be eligible to hunt because we'd be the hider/cluewriter.
Whats up unomas you fricking made it!!! hehe
Puck, I've been right on one Clue, in six years.
Don't listen to ME!!!!
Tho, ittiz Chair-O-Key! LOL!!!
I wuz in BC... Well, until I noodled some more.
Thing izz, I'm never rite!!!! Yust my opinion - COK.
'Niter, Timmers!!! SCD!!! And good Cool Huntings!
He, he, he! Baby Joe!
just got in,what a trip must be a little slow if u no what i mean
Ahhhhh! A hot Bath! Gotta love my nurse and she gave me all my meds! So now that I am sane and warm...and after hearing what the windchill is outside tonight(not 2 mention what it will be tomorrow!) I am staying home and collecting the clue in the comfort and warmth of my hospital bed.:)
Cool!
This is Diggers alter ego... he just left for Ma Press. Says he'll see you all down there.
Stay warm all you medallionators!
Just heard on the news that the WC organizers have called off the giant snow slide for lack of snow.
DUH!
Battle Creek fits well with those theories as well...maybe too much for only the third clue and I'll include all of mine in that staement as well....I am holding them to their promise to us in the first clue!
::shudder::
Hay, DDave!
I are snot in Phalen! I'm overlooking the marina, down on The Big Muddy, from Chair-O-Key!
BRB...
Gotta put The Shit-Mobile in the "gar-age" (British pronunciation...) in hopes she'll start 2morrow...
You have a Shit-Mobile too?
finally done slogging!
That connection seems too unique to be coincidental, leelabell. Nice!
Puck - It's nice to see another long-time hunter here. I'm so used to being frustrated that it's a feeling I wonder if I'd miss if I actually ever did find the darned thing.
::yawn:: someone wake me at 11:00 :)
Has anyone thought of the possibility of it being hidden indoors...as long as it's on public grounds with doors open 24/7??
We used to hunt for the money - raising kids, buying house, cars, then kids in college...not that I wouldn't like it now but we have fewer real needs.
But in the end, I want to hold it in my hand as the finder and get my picture taken lookin' like Elmer Fudd.
Hey Sethmon!!!!!! Welcome to the hunt!!!!
Uhhhmmmm... Ter... You did. You mean, "again"?
Puck, ask any and all here. LOL!!! Not one will lie to you... I'm HORRIBLE at guessing these stupid Clues.

St. Paul Reformation Luthern Church is very near Dunning and Jimmy Lee
Hi Tiny Thumbs! Hey Sethmon! Good to see ya's.
Green - It don't hardly count if you make the kid put it back.
On edit: No puck, no Elmer Fudd picture, no money.
I'm waiting for Dave for the clue tonight, little cold and an early class make hanging around in here, much more appealing. I mean can you really beat this company??
They are released downtown at 11, they're usually on here by 11:15
