I think the charities are getting sick of never getting the prize money. So, some charity group has already found the medallion and after everyone has given up at the end of clue 12. They will throw it back in the park and claim their reward. Anyone with me on this?

Probably right, Reg.

But, being a writer...I often times finding myself giving the most interesting scenario not the realistic and obvious one...I truely do live in a whacky dream world.

Hi all, ever since the 2nd clue was published, my life has been turned upside down. My wife is always gone, sleeping or on the computer looking for that darn treasure. Please...Please, someone find it. Please help for I am hungry, h rny & lonely !!!! If you see my wife please tell her Scott luv's & misses her & wants her & our dog back home. I would be out there with her but someone needs to be with the little one.....Her name is Nancy. She will be with our dog ( I hope ) Tasia. She wears a black parka & he wears a red harness. Thank You Scott ( neglected husband )

Sharing obsessions is way cooler than being alone and feeling neglected.

If not for Scribe I probably would never have gotten into this thing we call "The Hunt".

Now that I'm in it, it's a blast!

I'm not out hunting and I'm not watching the game.

I'm doing all those domestic things that get behind when one is spending too much time here noodling clues or out in the park. Number 1 on the list is laundry.

    LL - It's the one thing around here that never ends. It's the continuing saga of as the dryer turns. I thought it would be easier when the kids got older and moved out.

    Maybe I just don't remember that anymore - but it sure seems like laundry is never-ending.

    I know what you mean terry, we can't seem to break the little one from wetting the bed at night so it seems like we are always doing laundry.

    I'm reading and checking here every few minutes. I'll do some warsh for tomorrow when Wes gets up off the dirty clothes I've got ready to go - had ready to go... Before he curled up on them... Couldn't noodle a clue if it smacked me in the head.

    I'm whipped. I've sat here for the last almost 48 hours doing NOTHING but noodling, rereading clues, noodling, rereading clues... My head aches and my legs are cold, sore and stiff from lack of circulation sitting on this dorky 'putter chair that's got no padding.

    I still can't believe I look forward to this every year and enjoy putting myself through this!!! I can't wait for next year!!!

    well, I'm off to wallgreens to get some pull-ups, washing machine is broke so can't do laundry here.

    Oh! that's right, redram. Set preferences is the button you need to push.

    Not everybody was at the wrong park until clue 9 for Conway's hunt. We were there by clue 8. Others I know were there prior to that.

    Conway was the year I was convinced of the Capitol Mall. I was sure I would get my revenge.

    But this year *izz* like Chair-O-Key/Conway. Maybe MomP's gotten thru her head (removed it from where the sun ain't shining????) that ittiz not so much grabbin' the dough and going, but ittiz the HUNT, the CLUES, that are more important.

    Maybe they never looked at it that way before. Like only one person's gonna get the green, so like why not make the Hunt last for the rest o'us poor slobs that miss out on that? The money will last for only so long...

    You'll be a winner for eternity...
