Jake, I thought you weren't hunting until the last clue. Not going to let someone else find it this time?

There was no one hunting at Crosby tonight.

Zone 3 eh? I was really thinking zone 2.

Of course they do close that gate after sundown, but I suppose you can still park outside of it.

Well we know that it isn't with the ammo colored geo-cache that's in the park anyway. Here's a few pix from today's hunt.

If this is near where you guys are, and I can convince him we should go there, do we want publicity for the hunt? He may not be interested at all, but should I mention it?

If he doesn't want to go there, we'll be at Cottage Grove Ravine Park, then I'll go to B.C. around 2:00

There are a couple caches I want to check out.

I have some money for the Green M&M

OK, so now I have to study the clues.

Would it be possible Marley means some of those numbers to be LAT/LON coordinates? He has a GPSr, is working on a cache near his cabin, and knows that Clue Master, Mr. MedHunter and I have GPSr s.

I keep thinking the date hidden figures into it somehow.

the cooler crew wall. if you find it, add your name to it! the sand scratches off really easily. as of last nite, cluemaster, me2, and i had our names in it, and marley's "symbol" was there :)

Yeah Ian, Alibabas and I found the BC cache late last night. It's a ways away from where we're looking for the treasure though. The cache is up on top of the hill and back a ways. Fun little cache. I need to log it yet. Looks like a bit of drizzle today ;-(
Headin' out myself in a bit too.

The Marley King medallion was found by ThoseMedallingKids around 12:00 or 12:30 at Battle Creek park. I just got back from there, and wanted to let people know not to go out and look anymore. Great hunt Marley!

where in the park did you find it TMK?

ThoseMedallingKids

Park in the parking lot, go into the park, cross the bridge, to the immediate right is a lone tree there. It was near the base of the tree.

Man! I musta walked right over it last night! I was diggin' all over in there!

ThoseMedallingKids

A lot of people walked over it or dug around it. It was hidden fairly well, somewhat sunk into the dirt. Plus it was a hockey puck, a black object hidden amongst black dirt. I just raked everything out until I saw it.

Iv'e never seen the place before, I was actually wondering how easy it would be to run from there, if given the opportunity, he will most likely take it.

Is that the one down by Red Wing? he aint running from there!
Drove past it a couple weeks ago and WoW has it changed. I remember visiting my boyfriend and thinking how easy it would be to just walk out and now it looks like a minimum security prison for the youth. I bet there is a website. I also thought how lucky those troublemakers are to get to stay in those old historical buildings.

I'm not really sure where it's at, I thought it was here in st paul. I'll have to see if there is a web site.

Located east of St. Paul approximately 2 miles east of the intersection of Highway 61/10 and Lower Afton Road.

Wow! it's not far from battle creek!
