It faces Horton, it is across from the sculpters, across from the pool; I think it is the round and round and leap for st paul would be from trolleys to cars. there is a big sign in front with a larger than normal Capital dome; there is also a lake down from it. I did not notice any R W and Blue however.

FWIW: The best noodles aren't shared here in the Cooler, but "In the field" in person.

When we were at the Como pool there was a lady with her three year old and she was taking off the cememt from the wall and digging inside the cememt wall, just kept taking off the cement grotting. It was embarrassing. and in front of her kid.

Some people loose sight of the fun, and its all about the money!

It's only $10,000. I'd rather have the puck than the money.

Watch it with the beer, Mally... You may get a nice cop and you mayn't...

After last year, there is NO WAY I want to be around beer in a park while skulking. Not after last year. No sir, no way.

Last night kinda sucked about the fake clue; I was at PP bldg and phone my daughter the clue to post, and here she was reading to me the clue that was already "posted" and I am saying, Wait a minute that's not what i am reading in the PP, and she was saying well that's what was on the Cooler and I was really confused but I told her to just type in what i am reading from the PP and she did; i think it might happen again tonight--a fake clue.

The traditional greeting is "you dig?" but I like "you a digger" too

Supposedly there are no spots within a mile of the park.

Parking spots?

Dolly, you look for me in the park, give it to me, and I will check it for proper authorization, this might take a while so don't wait up

I really got to get out and meet some of these coolers. sound like a fun bunch!

Well, we love meeting new people. The best part of the hunt is the people.

The best place to hook up with the Cooler Crew is at the paper. You gotta ask around for us though because we don't want to go up to people and say "We're the Cooler Crew". We'd look like a bunch of egotistical schmucks.

There's also the Rehash Bash in the park the puck is found. That's always a good time and you get to meet tons of people face to face.

Pssssstttttt... Sunny... Ittiz, "You dig?"

Guy, we are THE GREATEST!!! We always have fun! We're comprised of all different ages, economic and educational backgrounds, and stuff like that. But we all have in common the love of hunting The Med and we just GET INTO IT and have a wonderful time!!!

Try us, you'll like us!!! :D

Mally, it had nothing to do with beer at The Pity Party as that was at McGovern's.

I thought you were talking about taking beer out tonite. I'm not going into detail, but beer and digging with a group o'folks DOES NOT MIX!!!!!!!!!!

Do what you want, but my take izz: Leave the beer at home when out in parks and looking for The Med. You never know when cops are gonna show...

Hey all, if you can make it, come to the Rehash-Bash.

I've been so busy at work during this hunt that I didn't get to spend too much time here.

And when I was here, I ended up spending a lot of time doing maintenance instead of noodling with you all.

So, I'd love to meet all I can before it all dies down until next year.

I can't believe that we're all this lost and this many people searching that it hasn't been picked up yet.

That's cuz everyone's now at Como, instead of H.I. where the puck is actually hidden.

Mally... Usually starts 12:00-ish, 1:00-ish. I'm snot good with xact times and all - Ter, Scribe, Me2, Leela... They should prolly have the exact time.

But figure, put in your noodler, about 12-1. Sumpin' like that.

The Re-Hash Bash will, more than likely - not 100% certain - will at the "pic-a-nic grounds, Boo-Boo" closest to where The Med's found.

But, then again, it mite be at the West Pic-a-Nic Grounds, Boo-Boo, yust for old times sake. Don't know! Stay tuned! And if you miss it here... Yust look for the silly folk having a cook-out in the park in Feb!!!! :D

Ian: the hot dog guy was there last night.
Mini donuts and corn dogs this afternoon, but probably closed by now.

you guys need to ditch the jackets one last time and do the bare chested dig! Whatdya say?

We never actually went bare chested... just jacketless, with t-shirts..... Possibly tonight it might happen one last time, just for the hell of it. After all.. it'll prolly be our last time hunting as clowns anyhow.

and there are already 2 (or is it three?) geocaches in the park.

After the vultures have cleared out (sad as it may be), there will be a few more I'm sure.
