Thanks ATH - Too bad you and MK couldn't make it. It was a good time. Glad to finally officially meet you LL. (I guess there's no more admiring you from afar any more) ;o(
It's so wierd finally meeting people that you have been talking to for so long, You kind of get this picture in your head of what you think they look like and when you finally see them they look nothing like you thought!
Wish I had my husband trained to cook while I sleep. And I already know you got him cleaning the house too ;)
Nope not trained do it cause I like it and want to! (when I have the time latly) And art has been doing the work too!--I have been tooooooo busyyyyyyy Hunting! hehehehe
I love the pics you guys! Like aw's post said I would say-----damm it wish I was there!
DD, I have talked low key about putting together some kinda book for 3 years---I even have a title somewhere in the 2001 PP Cooler. Think I will start thinking about doing it again :)
me2, I really think you should pursue your book idea. With how the cooler crew is receiving attention all across the 50 states during the PP hunt, the sky is the limit as to what people will be buying in the future to learn more about the actual "hunters" that partake in this event every year. Not to mention all of us on the list that would support it, if even for the sake of reading what you write about us. haha I think it would definitely make for a good coffe table piece or bedtime reading. Be sure to start out with a beverage warning! Although... if they ruin the book badly enough, they would be forced to buy a new one... hum??
ya know, j, i think digger dawg is right. just as long as you promise me i won't be portrayed wearing a thong. any other portrayal of me is fine, just not the damn thong :)
I talked to my husband over a week ago about writing a book about the history/events of and in St Paul parks---I told him I was feeling selfish. That I didn't want to tell everyone all the secrets and stories that could give away a possible history clue. :) but still thinking of that too :)
I recall AW thinking on writing something too but I am sorry AW, I can't remember if it had to do with the hunt or not. or was this a secret?
I had talked about writing up a little book for the Mock Hunt as a possible gift for those who donated to it, but nothing came of that. I'm also working on a fantasy novel (as in a Lord of the Rings type of thing) but that's not a secret or related to the hunt.
I just looked at my phone bill for January-February. The billing period started on the 21st of January. By the 29th, I was already over my minutes. My bill came out to $131 for just that one month. And I should be getting the bill for the Mock Hunt period in a few days here.
Well since the hunters all came, let's begin one more game, You should stick to St. Paul's parks to make this hunt shorter. And if it should be your aim to be in the gallery of fame, You need to locate the region using a scent and a quarter.

and it wouldnt be a photo # in the book cause not everyone has a book
I mentioned it elsewhere, but I should say it here too that some hints in the clues will actually require a Guide and for others, the Guide won't help you at all. As for what you're looking for, it's an improvised coin, or basically a small, disc shaped object with the contact information inside.
My brother and I say Woooooo Woooooo to everyone!!!
Great Pics CM!
HA HA! I love it!

Go for it girl!
Maybe you could do a media guide kind of a thing...profiles on all the characters.
ya know, j, i think digger dawg is right. just as long as you promise me i won't be portrayed wearing a thong. any other portrayal of me is fine, just not the damn thong :)
anything other portrayal of me is fine
Any? I'm thinking you haven't looked in the closet lately.

I met a guy who is writing a book about the state capitol building and I actually was bumbed that I didn't do that!
2005 will be our capitol bldgs 100 anniversary.
Timmers, have you shared your and Scribe's idea for a book?
For Ares page in the media guide:

you write that book, j, and i'll be the first one in line to get a personally autographed and numbered (preferable #1) copy of it.
Make you stand in line in the freezing cold at the PP just to get the first clue to where the book signing is at :)
why not?

Hey AW, Does this house look familiar? (minus the enclosed deck)
AW's Virtual House Fly By
I'd say it does. Where did that come from? I'll have to send it to my roommate.
Theres one for each day of the year, hopefully someone finds the damn thing by the 2004 PP hunt! ;~)
How many more clues are there??
Actually this particular hunt is over. It was found March 17th on Clue #9 in Battle Creek.
Damn!!
:(
Alright, just a warning to everyone, I'm reviving this thread for the new hunt. There are too many loose threads already so I'm going to recycle.
Well since the hunters all came, let's begin one more game,
You should stick to St. Paul's parks to make this hunt shorter.
And if it should be your aim to be in the gallery of fame,
You need to locate the region using a scent and a quarter.
125 or 26
cent and a quarter
a place where peoples names are- like Phalen or COMO ;)
Main Entry: re·gion
Pronunciation: 'rE-j&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin region-, regio, from regere to rule
Date: 14th century
1 : an administrative area, division, or district; especially : the basic administrative unit for local government in Scotland
2 a : an indefinite area of the world or universe
<few unknown regions left on earth> b : a broad geographical area distinguished by similar features
<the Appalachian region> c (1) : a major world area that supports a characteristic fauna (2) : an area characterized by the prevalence of one or more vegetational climax types
3 a : any of the major subdivisions into which the body or one of its parts is divisible b : an indefinite area surrounding a specified body part <a pain in the region of the heart>
4 : a sphere of activity or interest : FIELD
5 : any of the zones into which the atmosphere is divided according to height or the sea according to depth
6 : an open connected set together with none, some, or all of the points on its boundary
I like District
like District 125
or District 26
or Area
page 26 and 25 and 1 don't have good parks :(
and there is no page 125
and it wouldnt be a photo # in the book cause not everyone has a book
a cent- Lincoln
a quarter- Washington
Gallery of Fame- President?
a quarter is a semester? school term as is District? :)
is there a Washington or Lincoln elemetary around?
gallery is a room or place with ART or paintings
there is a washington school on rice street, the one that was in "That was then this is now".
he uses "scent" like a smell, rice/arlington field has mcdonalds across the street and "quarter" could be police quarters maybe?
Or what does a quarter buy these days? The St. Paul daily paper for one.
Or if it's page 25, that would be Dunning Field.
I was thinking perhaps region would mean it's a regional park. I know that Indian Mounds and Battle Creek are both regional parks.
and phalen too, but what are the chances he would hide it there again ;)
That's right...and he's already used Battle Creek.
You can use a quarter for a parking meter, so could be downtown.
"cedar" st for a "scent" Kellogg?
and it wouldnt be a photo # in the book cause not everyone has a book

So is anyone going out looking today? hehe
If you are, it seems my phone battery died overnight (must have been roaming). I'm recharging it now if anyone is trying to reach me.
so , is the clue out at 9:00 each night?
No, just the first night. Otherwise it will be 6pm.
Cool!
