Thats was fun! I will give you a little run down on what happen tonite!
About 9:30 9:45 people starting showing up at the park! TMK,Redbear,sue,outta,reg,LILMAN-his bro and FB!! I was telling reg we should be by the "little flag" but he thought we should be by the playground when the clue comes out!So we went to the middle of the park.Tmk and red were also in the middle Lilman and the rest I think were up on the levee!Well so I see tmk and redbear start running towards covington inn (little flag) so I start running too.Tmk was the first there then me then red and then the rest.I see tmk hit the ground and start looking around the rocks so I do too and then everyone else does to.After about 5 minutes I go over by where reg is looking and he finds a piece of dog poop (fake)."Whats this marley". Im thinking to myself thats it its gotta be right here. So I start looking hard right there.We are all on our hands and knees. Anyway after going around and around that same rock I finally feel a chunk of ice! Opps its a sock iced up and at first I thought it was a tampon! EWWWWWW! But I looked inside anyway. It was frozen and hard to get the sock open but when i did whaawhooo a bag and inside the bag the DOGTAG "The Puck Posse's Frozen Butt Hunt March 2003 Winner"--- Way cooler I will try to put up pics tonite but im tried so if I dont I will put them up 1st thing in the morn!
Now I can get down and dirty and start ~~~~~~~~~ AW'S!!!!!!!!!
I thought the Covington. I was the first to get to the area because I thought it was going to end up there and I positioned myself nearer there. And of course, the rock Marley found it under is the same rock I had built a mini snowman upon earlier in this day. Figures with my luck.
Nice seeing you guys last night. Sorry I missed you MK & Reg but I was being a dork looking around that other flag. Good job on the find! Thanks for the hunt FB!
Help me out Kids. In the top pix, I believe that's LiLMan in the center and Frozen Butt kneeling with her dog. Of course there's also TMK and myself but I'm not totally sure on the other two. I think I know but I don't want to screw it up. I'm terrible that way. (sorry guys - as you know I was in a hurry to get back to a little B-day party that the guys at work were throwing for me, so I wasn't all there anyway) That's RedBear and Sue? in the bottom picture. I also think I know her screen name but I remember it not being too flattering for some reason and really didn't want to screw that one up either. Can anyone please help me out? Thanks
The person in front with the dog is Frozen Buttox. Then in the back row is Lilman's brother, Cluemaster, Lilman, Outtamymind, and myself. The other picture Cluemaster is in has Redbear and Fatbtmgrl.
Yeah, I was surprised that you weren't down there since you live so close anyway. I was asking RedBear who was all at the other flag and he said "well, there was me.." I said "me was there, cool" he said "no, I meant me not me2" Damn! Missed her again. :o(
I was gonna get the clue and run down there but I didn't know others were on cellphones with others. so I thought why bother -cause on clue 12 I figured it would be found before I could get there. and it was :(

Yep, a night at The Covington was the prize, will definately be different and interesting to stay on a boat (and at a bed and breakfast).

Yep, Marley said you made it click into his head that it was in that area, and you were parked right there! Damn guy with his dog!
