Here is all the pertinent information on the hunt:
The TMK mock hunt will start on Wednesday, September 17, and end on Sunday, September 28.
Clues will be released at 9 pm each night.
There will be 12 clues in all.
The treasure will be hidden on public land in Ramsey County (stay out of the fairgrounds, off the indian mounds)
The treasure will not be hidden in a spot that will endanger hunters (along a cliff, under an electrical box, on the water of a lake/river, etc)
If there are questions or concerns, please try reaching me by email or egram. I will have my cell phone with me, but while I am at work it will be off. I will check messages during breaks though.
Prize will be announced. Donations are welcome.
I am looking to have a get together next Wednesday to kick off the hunt, if people are interested. I get off work at 5 that night. The clue would come out early for the first night. If you would like to get together, let me know. I have some ideas on where to have it.
Alibabas and I are in. And no, they never did find the IGH Golden Star. I talked with the writer/hider and he said he did find it out there and it looked like we went right around it. He needed to talk with the Sun Current paper before showing me where it was because they were actually the sponsors of the event and IGH just put it on. I can't see it. The start is 7" wide and tall and 1" thick and gold and not in anything. One thing that he was happy to explain is that all the first letter of each clue spelled backwards from clue 15 to 1 spelled out ATGROVELANDPARK. That was kinda cool I guess since my anagram solver can't catch proper nouns.
Let us know when and where ya wanna meet TMK.
Oh yeah CM, the kiddies might like this hunt. Its going to be a themed hunt. I think you'll see as it goes along. It won't be for the kids though. I've made this hunt to be, what I think, pretty tough. Gotta be on your toes and be pretty good with your noodle. I am hoping its a good hunt for everyone.
be pretty good with your noodle
Oh, I'm sure I am. Just ask my wife. ;-)
Sounds fun
You can noodle her treasure all you want. Don't know if you'll find my treasure looking for it using that noodle though. And I don't think your wife is "public land". ;)
And I don't think your wife is "public land".
She may not be public land but she definitely has a nice Mounds Park.

Cheaters.
Dammit... that leaves me out, considering i'll probably be working again by that time.
The clue would come out early for the first night. If you would like to get together, let me know. I have some ideas on where to have it.
Not at Crosby I hope. I have it reserved that night for another event, so unfortunately, I probably won't be there for the first clue. I'll see if I can think of something to contribute for a prize.

I know you have something laying around that house to contribute ::snerk:: ;)
And what would that be?
Those are pretty comfortable.
No fuzzy slippers at my house.
Unfortunately folks I'm going to have to postpone the hunt for now. My grandfather's brother is in the hospital in serious condition. He was expected to die, but he's improving somewhat so we are not sure what will happen. Also, my computer has been majorly messed up and I'm trying to get it taken care of. Right now I'm on my brother's computer. I would like to get the hunt started within a few weeks, but I need to see what happens with my family and computer situation. I am sorry about this all, and I will try to do what I can to get the hunt started soon.
Kids - sorry to hear things aren't as good as they could be. Hope improvement is right around the corner for everyone.
Hang in there bud. Don't worry 'bout us. Take care of the more important things. We'll be here pullin' for ya. Thanks fer taking the time to post.
Yeah, ninja... hunts can wait... take care of yer family.
Ditto what VJ sez. The clown speaks truth.
:(
news update: kids' grandfather's brother is conscious, and seemingly coherent!!! his computer's still down, and looks like it needs a new hard drive, though. last word was that he's expecting to start the hunt next wednesday.
Hmmm, again with the Wednesdays. Come to think of it, seems like I have something going on almost every Wednesday.
