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.

Wow, some clue, it could easily point to Newell, unless that's the intention. Interesting idea, sorta like Como with last years hunt.

Say you're hiding something, giving clues to its location (okay duh) a good tactic to keep people guessing would be to pick a dummy park. Example, Hariett Island, and how so many people went there last year (including myself). Make your clues not only fit the real location, in less than obvious ways, but make them, more obviously, fit the dummy park.

A very interesting tactic to say the least.

I'm finally home from Zumbrota but I'm not any wiser than I was before reading this last clue. Looks like almost everyone has given up for the night. Quiters!

I'm not quitting OT, then again, I just got here

I say it's either at Newell, or Newell is being used as a dummy park.

Did anyone go out there tonight do you know?

I met clue master and jake out there. Looked around a bit, talked for 15 minutes, then had to go.

Oh dear, I posted on the clue thread by mistake. Had both windows open. I've deleted it though. Must be getting late. I'm getting careless.

What I was pondering is this. He says The gang narrowed it down to between four. Why not just say narrowed it down to four? Is between four important?

But one thing that is good about this clue, I think if you figure it out, you will know for sure that you are right.

This is a true statement ;-) Although I think it's probably much harder to figure out if you don't already know the park.

I think its 4 streets or something, but I couldn't even figure out one of them.

Earlier I said that maybe the male nurse is Klinger from Mash and the hotshot friend was Hawkeye Pierce. But the two of them would only count as one clue, so then it would be narrowed down to three, not four. You follow me?

Is between four important?

Yes.

OK. That gives me something to think about. Has it been discussed in her earlier?

I think the general consensus if I recall was that it was referring to street names.

So what you are saying is the general consensus was right, right AW?

Howdy from the north woods!

Arrived safely and soundly and about Forest Lake I had this thought. Ready?

A male nurse is a medicine man.

So Hawkeye Pierce could be right then if it's in Newell.

Hi Terry. Glad you had a safe trip. I got back from Zumbrota not to long ago myself. True statement Terry. Can you fit that to any park though? Or is it obvious and I'm just missing it. :)

I haven't figured this one out. I don't think I will. I'm done thinking. Hopefully this thing will still be going on at about noon on Sunday, but I doubt it. I'm gonna be out of town all day tomarrow and Sunday morning, good luck everyone.

We might still be here banging our heads around noon Sunday Tim. Have a good weekend.

I don't think it will last more than a day. It may get to Sunday. But I just don't think so.

Ditto Terry. I think I've cracked a clue and make everything fit, and then it all falls apart with the next clue.

Hi Kids. How long have you been here?

I've been here on and off since the clue came out. But I'm heading to bed soon.

Yeah, me too. I had a busy day.

Allison Wonderland

So what you are saying is the general consensus was right, right AW?

You would not be incorrect.

I'm planning on going to the park tomorrow morning, not long after sunrise if I can wake up. Hopefully I'll find it this time and I don't think the hunt will make it to noon Saturday much less Sunday. Then again, my physical hunting skills are less than stellar.

Could the woman with KIDS to tend be Miranda? ;)

So what's your idea Allison? Still Newell?

Terry

Allison - did you see anyone else out hunting? And when were you there?

I was out at Newell, met up with clue master and Jake, that was about 6:30 though

I was out hunting today from roughly 2-6. I went to a few different parks. Ended up at the right one (why is something always in the last place you look? because after you find it, you stop looking!) The only person I saw at all anywhere was Me2, and that was because I called her. I thought I would feel like less of a dork looking around if I wasn't alone, hehe.

So what's your idea Allison? Still Newell?

Well Newell does seem to fit a lot of the clues... ;-)

I did see a couple having sex in the car next to me at Newell.

Do those people show up at every hunt?!

hehe, that's kinda what I thought, either it's there, or it's a dummy/decoy park, and a good one at that

Hmm, wonder if that's the same couple I saw walking around there at 6:30, hand in hand and all

BTW I did find one odd thing at newell, a dead squirrel in some leaves.. gross... not my kinda treasure, that's for sure.

I keep getting disconnected here. This dialup is connecting at supposedly high speeds and then choking on me.

I think rather than get frustrated with this, I'm going to head off this thing and get ready for some shut eye.

Goodnight, SCDs, MCL and Goodluck to coolerheads everywhere!

I doubt it. They were gone when I got back. She was a redhead. All I saw of him was his bare back.

Night Terry. I'm going to head up now too. Night all.

Ahh, well, seems as if Newell does fit the swinging couples clue..

So the evening wasn't a total loss.

I'm headed out camping at 8 am tommorow, so it will probably be found when I get back Sunday. Good luck!

I should go to bed too if I want to get out there early. Unfortunately, my day is filled tomorrow after noon. So either I do find it and we can't party, or I don't find it and someone else will get it before I can get back.
