2003 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt - The Blair Witch Hunt

Either tonights clue, or tomorrows clue, are gonna narrow it down a lil bit.

mrmnmikey - have you met the homeless man who lives down there yet?

Spotter ??

Nah, they're still here, they even have their own thread...

Yeah, that vehicle does look slightly spotted.

I like the anagram idea... A Bewildered Hunt.

I like the red white and blue ice pop thing idea, or could be a flag , or just mean "American" Legion

Artemis The Huntress I did find his sleeping bag today

I think the best explanation of clue 4 is that it is inside a bomb pop wrapper. Its cold and red white and blue. north side of ? park

MrM-he seems like a good guy.

The online maps weren't the greatest, which accts. for all the ?s.

I'm going to get some sleep now, catch up with ya'll later.

im starting to think this med is hiding on some street somewhere IN downtown St Paul..not in a park. No clue mentions a park but all of them mention 'things' around where the med will be found

1. The Puck is in a park.

2. The Puck is near by when you're standing where you have a clear view o'the Capitol dome.

3. When you're seeing the Cap dome, you needs be south o'it. And, maybe... Ittiz Chair-o-Key or Battle Creek...

4. Gotta see a Nord Star sumpin' or udder. And, the last two lines - I think (was it Med Queen?) means, "You guys liking this crazy hunt? You should!"

Oh! And GOOD MARNING All 'Heads!!!

Happy and Cool Huntings!!!

Batle Creek? hmmm... ok?

mornin green!

HERE

That sucks, CM.

anyone with me?

Yep.

ice cold red white and blue bomb pop (with med inside) would be lovely to hold dear

Somebodies gotta be awake.

Just cracking my first coffee. Please stand by. :)

the n star will guide you far north from the shelter in clue 3

THX, you gotta go back and read the clowns - very funny stuff last night.

good morning leelabell

THX it's just before 4784

Good morning Mikey and thanks for posting a number. Their remarks are hilarious.

That post # was towards the end of it

I started at #4700, and it was quite funny.

Ian, you dissin' my truck? That's anti-spotter paint, so they can't track me after I find it!

I've been lurking on these boards now since '97/'98. Finally coming out of lurk mode to throw this idea out.

In reference to the North, are there any schools around that have North as part of their name or mascot? Something like North Polars??
Any ideas? thoughts?

Good Morning!

So much slogging. (300 posts!) No real concensus on anything.

Great to see so many lurkers delurking! Welcome to the other side!!!

CM - Really sorry to hear about the layoffs. Big Bummer.

See yaz all later.

where does washington county start? or ramsey end?

triple E has me stumped. The rest of the clue could just be the shelter but why wide as?

further east, but was thinking where in N st paul

Ive heard all the EEE things so far but don't like 'em. Don't make sense to me. I

might be wrong

thats closer to what I thought

thats closer to what I thought

Across the street from that big snowman I believe there is a tank or some kind of military thing. There might be a legion around close by too if i'm not mistaken...

american legion is close by but I think your barking up the wrong tree

Arf! Arf!

Gotcha - back to more noodling..
