2003 Redbear Mock Hunt

Submitted by THX 1138 on

Prize: 1 flashlight 
Hunt duration: until the snow melts

Clue: only 1 clue!

11 at 10, it started the race 
'tween Bear and Marley to the flag place 
but along the way, 
I'm sad to say, 
I dropped my lucky light somewhere in white space.

If you begin at the main entrance, seeing the flag pole, 
look for large bear tracks that make big holes. 
follow them down, straight as you please, 
and look 'till you're en-lightened with great ease.

Artemis The Huntress

hehe reminds me of the line from Fargo!

I like the tennis-love is nothing connection!

Beyond the rainbow's end
Nothing is what it seems
Solicitous? May cost you a friend.
Forever follow those dreams...
Tomorrow is a brand new day; today repent and pray.

Beyond the rainbow’s end, there lies
The land of love and light,
Where shadows never dim the skies,
For there ~~ there is no night.

And though the loss is hard to bear
Of loved one, or of friend,
We know that we shall find them there ~~
Beyond the rainbow’s end.

Katherine Nelson Davis

This poetry was written for death/afterLIFE?
So near a cemetery or church?

so we're looking at northern parks, not western parks. which could well put this in phalen again (there's the church right across the street from the golf course, and then the cemetery right behind that).

I was wondering if they would put it at Phalen again- that would make it easy for the hider if its the same person- cause they could have written these clues at the same time- It could easily be on or near the corner of the enterance to Phalen at Wee-lock and Paine?

3 in a row JOE CLUE!

its not the same hider though. unless kilty and redbear are the same person. personally, every time someone puts something in one of "our" idea parks it disappoints me, because i don't want to re-use a park too soon.

I feel like I have seen these clues before- Rat Giantism from Jakes Marthaler hunt
Rainbows-AW's Phalen
Love- tennis- with this last triple-E 3e =tennis shoe size

a possible reference to Car roll = from Merriam hunt

I like Merriam- its got the tennis court the Christmas Carol refrence-CARROLL Ave. you can see the St Marks church - Marry the girl 30 yr thing- Marry-em' and old school could just be there is a SCHOOL near by- Longfellow is old.

Did I have rainbows in my hunt? Was it in the Irish clue?

Theres a rainbow painted on the wall of a rec center, some place... where was it?....Palace? I think it was Palace.. Isnt there a school right near there too.... what school is it? I'm thinking its that Open school... but I dunno if the name has been changed or... it could be a completely different school altogether....

I thought the same thing VJ- Palace was the only one I thought of too so maybe thats it- I know they have the ice palace that looks like something from McDonalds painted on the community center there.

And David-Your whole hunt was based on a leprachaun-I know it was ;)

a year has passed since I wrote my note
but I should have known it right from the start
recent No Doubt,
Gives Serious clout,
but for the Hunt, think Old School

This could in general mean a SCHOOL by the park- write a note and from the start and PASSED -getting a 'pass' -writing 'notes' a year and start of beginning of school year-

I am sure this is kinda odd but clever --- the poem earlier that sounded like
church or life/death- could = re-creation = recreation center?

Very good Redbear Very GOOD! (I think I found the code,except for the j,q,z and 1 more c--hehe)

I was going to do that same thing! (I was going to do it throughout all the clues not just the 1st one)

Soon as I talk to art I will share!

Yeah I was in the chat room the other night when the clue came out!It was pretty busy then!But as far as chat rooms go there ok but you have to write down or copy and paste everything you see or its gone forever!

Ian you look like your standing at my driveway at the cabin?

That is worded oddly, like it was too important to change. I like AW's 30th anniversary idea.I am still wondering if the last phrase means anything or if it was added to rhyme with the second phrase.

Clue #6

We’ve reached the half-time
Of our little game
The clues will get harder
Time to be fanning the flame

So keep searching, but to this remain true:
Cross the road, you’ll see sweet smelling ‘pew
To your left, get a bearing
In this neighborhood, two colors you should be wearing

I've had about 10 different ideas - and none feel quite like it's the right idea yet.

Going to go dream about this and hope for something to hit me between the eyes.

Goodnight!

Sorry regman I was going here and there and everywhere!

Ok my anagram find is this!

Clue #1

Line 1 you can spell 52 parks!
Line 2 you can spell 10 parks!
Line 3 you can spell 2 parks!
Line 4 you can spell 1 park!
Within all the lines you can spell 26 parks!
That makes 91 parks you can spell in clue 1!!
5 parks are missing from the list! (there are 96 parks!)
Is the coin at 1 of these 5 parks I DONT THINK SO!
But what do I know I am just a hippie!?!

Good job Red!
