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.
to this day I still watch Scooby Doo and I have no kids :)
Great noodling MV!

well what about seeing the Fair in general - stay over in the St Anthony Park area- LangFORD
Embark- from a terminal
TransPacific
BNSF The K Line
1701 Pierce Butler Rte
this would be the CHAIN GANG-workin on the railroad :)
I really like the idea of a dog sled as well-
but what about looking at it this way---reassemble is like tayloring it to Scooby's liking ?? TAYLOR ST? farfetched (nopunintended-well mayso) hahaha FETCH
Boston, Massachusetts = Boston MASS.
Boston Mass Transit = BMT
BMT sandwich at Subway ! :)
Subway across from MEARS
...now I'm hungry
Not so farFetched me2..I'm trying to tie in fleas or flea powder to Clue #3, "this sort of thing gets under fur". Now that's farfetched!
At Phalen, there's a guy who sells used golf balls all summer long, just across Arcade from the golf course. I'm sure the balls are ones he's recovered from the course. "Look for golf balls left then found"?
Man... you can find LOTS of golf balls from out there in my basement, or at Shaggy's house..
(dont knock it til you've tried it.... when yer bored at night, its fun to see who can get the most golf balls from the driving range)
Hmm... maybe its hidden down here in my basement? Im gonna have to go look around now.
The guy lives in one of the houses just south of the church. There's a sign out front, something like "Used golf balls $4.00 per dozen"

I thought that same idea but first the thought was for Frisbee glof frisbees- kids would find them and sell them across the street from ACORN Park ---I didn't know where any sold regular golf balls- sorry I didn't post if earlier -I am glad though that you thought of the same thing---I am sooo thrilled when people come up with the same ideas I think of cause then I am not way offbase :) and with OT-LL and I were thinking how fleas could pertain to the clue as well-but nothing progressed any further-look forward to hearing if you progressed :)
hell, we find frisbee golf frisbees in ponds and keep the things.
Be on the lookout for a New England band's cd
Most notable are Aerosmith, Boston, The Cars, Del Fuegos, Extreme, J Geils Band & The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Some of their discography titles can have meanings.
New England Bands
the only reason I know about those kids selling em was cause I went garage saling over there this summer and saw their Golf Frisbee Stand.
Also at Highland Park- people sell them outside there as well but I think those are new and used :)
geeesh-CM- I have been trying to figure that CD thing out- I was really hoping someone would take the time to do the research deeper than the crap I found- I feel like I failed as a New England CD researcher :) hah! thanks But I do like the Boston idea
I am heading out-taking my dog for a walk in a certain park out there- and then gonna go get my kids from school and will check back in later-
Yeah, your Boston Market was a nice noodle. I was just giving us more to ponder until the next clue arrives. (like we need more to noodle)
You know this sort of thing gets under fur
Flea Market?
Blab later
what if they mean New England not in the USA-is there a New England in Europe?
or the N & E means something? or cd means something else than music.
maybe not :(
nice CM-flea market - but the only 2 I know of are by Mears and University & Dale st.
is there a New England in Europe
Only an Old England I assume. I like the out-of-box thinking though. You go girl!!
You might be thinking about Farmers Market me2. Not sure where there might be any flea markets though. They're usually at malls and such. Who knows.
oh yeah- but arnt those usually open on weekends?
I will be back-I am really going now :)
I want time to look around
OK. It took me two hours and five people to do this and now its too big! I'll have my son in law make it smaller and change it!
Wow I caught up!
~~~East~~~~
~~~~Mystery Machine~~~~~
Highland,Newell ~~~~~~?,?,?!
I should have time tomorrow to noddle!
;>)
I had added a picture to my posts, but it came up REALLY BIG!!! So I have removed it for now.
Post it and I'll resize it for you OT.
Can you do that Clue Master? That would be great! Don't laugh! It's a self portrait. ;) I'll do it now.
Thanks for trying, but I couldn't get it to work. I saved your attachment, but whenever I tried resetting my preference it still came up too big. In fact, it got bigger! It said it was 19K and can only be 17K.
I'm not too smart about these things. I think my son-in-law will reduce it when he gets to work tomorrow and send me an attachment to me email. That's how I did it originally and it seemed to work. I wonder how many names I can give this picture in my folder?! ;)
Here ya go OT. Cool avatar! 17kb Just right click your pix and save it. Then update your preferences.
I'm giving up. Thanks Clue Master but it looses something when it's reduced. You can't read the caption where it says Old Woman and Fringed Pillow. I liked it though.
Just use that saying as your tag line
That's a good idea! I'll do that when and if I ever figure this thing out. So...ah. How do you add a tag line? ;) Boy, am I a bother!
No bother at all OT. I'm not far from being an OT myself so I want to do what I can when I can. ;-)
Just go to your preferences and add your tag line where it says '2nd Line Of Information' right below where you usually add your picture.
Yeah, I just went there and studied the options and thought that might be where I added it. I'll wait until I get the picture straightened out though. It would look pretty strange to have it there with out the pic!
After much trial and error, I finally did it! Doesn't it look great? Thanks for the help Clue Master and East Side Digger!
And another thing learned today! Congratulations, OT!!
With all the discussion around New England bands - could it be a new band from Jolly ol' England?
I'm here. Just catching up on things. I'm ready to post the next clue. A few things though. Park was not supposed to be capitalized in the "St. Paul Park" clue. It should have read "St. Paul park". Also, your choice in music sucks, but its getting somewhat better. Lets see what you guys do with this clue. :)
My shooting range says that on the door for some reason too. What's up wit dat?
Jumbo Jet Joe
Clue 6
Think everyone never noodles insane stuff?
Can one understand really tough symbols?
To figure this clue out doesn't require a puff
Just the grey matter in your skulls
Aerosmith? South Of Sanity? But I thought he said that our taste in music sucks?

Ok, I got this one. Rules out a few parks. Newell and Phalen are still in the running though.
