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.

Where the heck is the rest of my Posse? I thought Susie would be in here. She went to the pre-hunt party at the Moose so I thought she was getting into it. If Outta gets involved she's liable to find it. She's got a good head on her shoulders. In fact, isn't Outta the only Posse member who has found a mock hunt treasure?

I'm trying to find that out too, Frosti.

He was a Latino male - and ambushed in a parking lot where he was going to work. Seems he was targeted for some reason....from what I'm gathering, it wasn't a robbery type of thing.

Outside of J&J Distributing Center - a food distribution center.

I think I'd better head for the sheets myself. Brain abuse is a good way of putting that, LL! Hehehehe

Goodnight, SCDs and MCL!

I was wondering if it was a park that you could reach by boat. But that limits it to HI, doesn't it? Night you two. I'm heading up to a good book. Angry Housewifes Eating Bon Bons. You'd like it Terry.

No, could have been Hidden Falls or Crosby, but neither those nor Harriet Island have tennis courts. Phalen has a boat launch I think.

Interesting thoughts all. Very good clues it seems, still has lots of people guessing. I was up at the scenic overlook up at Battle Creek (across 61 from Wagner Road). For a minute backloggin on the discussion I though I might be onto something up there. Though honestly I wasn't looking for anything, just taking pictures. Was a nice evening out and I had planned on doing more stuff but got off work too late, the sun was already setting. Did happen to look over the stone ledge and see a cd, and a mint tin ("Squints" in an altoids shapped container). Not much up there though, nice view, and a nice way to end the work day.

btw, a friend of mine tipped me off to a new thing starting at their college.

University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Medallion Hunt

looks like Wisconsin people are getting interested in our medallion hunts. Guess we can't participate in it, but might be interesting to watch the clues... See how easy or complex they get.

Phalen has both a boat launch and a boat house.

Great MNF game tonight!

Looks like Indy. One of the 2 other 5-0 teams like ours. But do we get a Monday Night game? Noooooooooooo. Although we did have a suckie year last year, don't cha just like watching us? It doesn't quite feel like the '99 team yet but with the high scores and perfect record, who knows? I even saw CC on the side lines during the last blowout game. ;-)

Damn I guess I was way off base with my thinking about this hunt. Right now, Oh well, I tried. :) I wonder if TMK takes bribes? :)

It's the gospel truth
If on the hunt you embark,
You could find the treasure
in a St. Paul park.

I wonder if the clues are being written with bits of words from previous clues. I found "embark" as well as "devil" I think I am on to something here :)

We're just on Clue #6. The hunt was moved back a week.

All of the letters contained therein? It's a stretch, but they're all in there. But I'm thinking you could probably find other park names in some of the other phrases as well.

I'm thinking about the clues coming up, and I'm guessing that this will be in a sense like the PP hunt. You're going to think one park, then get clue 10 or 11 and be like "What!?!?"

You trying to get us off track TMK? Are we getting too close? ;)

OR is he being honest, knowing that we would think that he is trying to trick us?

Uhhh, I think I've made my hunt hard enough to figure out some of the clues. Add in the fact there is misdirection, and I'm being honest. I just have a feeling you'll be surprised, and I'll have some 'splaining to do.
