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.

What do they call that old church tower in that little park down off of Wabasha and Concord? Isn't Vista in the name somewhere?

hey you little gopher... quit showing off your monkeys! Sheesh ;)

But then of course, not everyone would know about those monkeys on the computer ares had on his computer in his bedroom. ;)

first off, chesty, i display my monkeys proudly. :)

second off, i have the entire upstairs of the house and there really isn't a distinction between what is bedroom and what is not, its one big open air room. me2 and her husband were checking out my new place after i moved into the brother's house, which by the way, it took 'em long enough after i moved in to come see. :)

Did you ever get that porch/deck built?

nah. my brother and i decided that it really wouldn't be worth it. the pitch of the roof would have to be lowered to accomodate it, and in doing so would turn it into an effectively flat roof, which nate didn't want to deal with. so its just not gonna happen. :(

I think she's referring to the top of the bridge though. Not under it. Too bad. :)

Jakes hunt for Cherokee was fun and the clues were good
It was a disappointment in the end :(

And you can't go through on Cherokee to Smith. Villains cornered? Also, has it been pointed out before that villains is misspelled in the clue? Is that on purpose for some reason?

It was pointed out, it was an accident and doesn't mean anything.

I go over every morning and drink my coffee staring at a blank screen. And I go in every night and say good night to myself. ;) I've seen Kids, Terry V, Juggle Monkey and Outta in there a few times. But never at the same time.

I was thinking last night that TMK could be trying to throw us off by saying how hard this hunt is. Maybe we need to KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).

clue 1- dont destroy, ramsey county
clue 2- dog on a leash sign, caring home
clue 3- ?
clue 4- golf course, but not too close to the treasure sight (need binoculars to see it?)
clue 5- st paul park
clue 6- tennis courts
clue 7- water; high and low

Hah Timmers. You don't believe me. You will see at the end how much I'm right. You guys are getting closer with one of these clues. You just can't see it. I thought it would be easier to choose, but I guess I was wrong.

tim_the_hunter

The reason its a hard hunt is because he hasn't told us anything that narrows it down, not because we cant figure out these silly clues. TMK is sneaky like that.

ThoseMedallingKids

Tim, in the clues, I've given out the park name itself. I've given things to narrow it down. I've given out little clues that if you're in the park and looking around, you'll see it and be like "That has to fit!"

Peace Of Mind

is a song by Boston

tim_the_hunter

me2- it sounds like we are looking for the name of their cd and not a song, but I guess it could be a two step noodle where you find their cd and then find the song name.

Wed, 10/08/2003 - 8:10 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

I'm not going to be that mean. You don't have to find a song name on a cd. You don't even know the band's name. I won't make you figure out what song.

I really didn't think that the New England band cd thing would be so hard.

J Geils Band has an album named - Monkey Island

I'm thinking there'a relatively well known cd by a well known band whose name made a good clue. Like lets say the clue was "Joshua Tree". Now if he had simply said a U2 album, it would be too easy, so he would say "an Irish Band's CD".

So I think what we're looking for here is:

  • A well known band
  • A well known album
  • An album title that would be a clue for something in a park like "Playground" or "Picnic"

    tim_the_hunter

    Yeah, but my knowledge of well known New England Bands is poor at the best. I'll keep looking though, this does seem like the most simple clue to crack.

    Allison Wonderland

    Also, when I did my clue refering to a song on a CD, I had a clue about what band it was in the clue when I said "you too". Maybe TMK has a hint as to which band it is somewhere in the clue.

    I keep getting some wierd song in my head that wont go away-I mentioned it to David the other day---I dont know who it is by but it goes something like Into the future- wheels keep on turnin turnin turnin

    anyone know?

    Allison Wonderland

    Look for golf balls left then found
    Use binoculars for looking around
    If you want to get the treasure before Scooby
    Be on the lookout for a New England band's cd

    Hmmm, the word "look" is used three times in this clue.

    Don't LOOK Back - Boston?

    I posted a link earlier that posted all the New England bands that you would ever need to know. I'm with AW in that it's something easy like Boston or Aerosmith.

    I'm headin' out now to check on a few parks. Later

    Wed, 10/08/2003 - 9:12 AM Permalink
    Allison Wonderland

    Boston seems like the most obvious answer, but none of the albums have a name that makes much sense as a clue.

    Wed, 10/08/2003 - 9:24 AM Permalink
    me2

    well Boston- don't LOOK back or Smokin' (NSP smoke stack)
    or AeroSmith selftitled aeroSMITH -just to throw us off cause the one way street is a song not a cd title
