2003 ThoseMedalingKids Mock Hunt

Submitted by ThoseMedallingKids on

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.

Good Evening fellow noodlers!

Really tough symbols. Hmmmmm

There used to be a licensed child care home across from Newell somewhere - orange sign in a window or door. Did you see anything like that, me2? I'm not sure that woman is still doing child care or not.

Hey AW, what do you think of this clue? Do you like how I set up this clue?

AW, wouldn't it have been easier to list the ones that aren'tstill in the running? ;)

I don't smoke anymore. I miss it sometimes.

It's a tricky thing to set up a clue like that, moreso than one who hasn't tried it would generally think.

I actually have had practice. It was inspired by a game I play on the place I met Miranda.

I have to say, this is starting to remind me a lot of that first Puck Posse hunt at Phalen. Cd cases, docks, etc.

No, I'm here but moving in and out checking on things. I never lurk. If my name isn't on the list, I'm not here. (for the moment anyway)

I have to say, I probably won't have time to hunt much for this. Noodling is more than I can handle. I'm spending a lot of time on homework this semester, and I'm going to be out of town this weekend. So unless I'm reallysure of the location it's probably a virtual hunt for me.

It's been pointed out that I made a mistake and Cayuga should not be on my list.

I'm going on a hayride with my singles club this Saturday. Then we're having a bonfire afterwards.

By the way, did I mention I was going to be moving?

I wanted to but I'm not sure, we are celebrating gordy's daughters b-day this weekend so I guess if we do it won't be until the evening.

I'll be posting the 11th clue if its not found by then. Oh, and working.

Well, it could be Indian Mounds...

Keep Scooby on a leash, have you seen and heard while around the parks you hunt and roam

Watch where you go and stay off the mounds?

if with a keen eye you see a caring home

Nursing home nearby

You know this sort of thing gets under fur

A thorn? Thorn St. is where the nursing home is.

Use binoculars for looking around

The whole park is practically a scenic overlook.

From very near you will embark

The park looks down on an airport.

Think everyone never noodles insane stuff? Can one understand really tough symbols?

There's one at the park not too far from the nursing home.

Yeah. Nice one TMK Thanks for those others of you who are holding restraint from blurting it out as well since it is kinda fun to figure out by yourself

I've spent the better part of this evening doing some writing for work. Stuff I needed to keep my mind on so I don't look stupid later. But now that's done and I've had a shower to help clear the fuzziness out of the grey matter.

Where are you moving to, Allison - and why?

I was thinking Ma Press sign in blue can be seen from Mounds
earlier today and the nursing home and the view/overlook but the thorn is good AW!

I personally noticed a couple days ago which makes you go 'hmmmm'...is the wording in the rules---- (stay out of the fairgrounds, off the indian mounds) see how it says stay off them but not out of IM ;)
