agree. the weather is prefect!! is everyone already going to the PP tonite? or are most people laying low? I might stop by sometime this week. and i'll be sure to check for the medallionator!
The old curmudgeon was in high dudgeon When a critter ran off with the loot But this year to be credible, we've made it inedible And stuck it in a park - so scoot!
a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man-Joe Souch or or man river/"old curmudgeon" is a term that has been used to describe newspaper journalists. kind of like calling an old writer an old hack.
was in A state or fit of intense indignation; resentment; ill humor
when the racoon took off with the med last year,
(Loot) Us bank on top of hill at crosby,
Its in a park and not just on public property Strech here but S oto ave =scoot? South central part of park? SC oto? ---------------------------------------------------
Clue #2 Snow we have missed much, this not very white Christmas But the ice has come to stay The water's quite frozen at this park we have chosen Along its paths you may while the time away --------------------------------------- White Christmas Bing Crosby (or Irvine) White Christmas..... inedible Cd Case?
Ice has come to stay=treasure in ice. Why do they mention ice and then frozen water? Twice?
The water is frozen-Ice and water sign is on top of the hill by enterance to crosby. Crosby has a "water gate" marina
You can while the time away along crosbys paths around the frozen water (lake) in either the benches along it or a chair made out of a tree stump. You would "While time away" because of the marker signs along the paths that tell you how far away you are from the lot in minutes.
I think they would give the park early because of the size and scope of the park. More time to narrow the search.
first letters of the first four lines in the clue it spells BATS- cave at enterance to crosby
Kitch a Medallionator ... maybe down the line. He has not expressed an interest. Although as you all know he has had a beer with us at Buggs on the pre-noodle.
mikey- way impressive, I guess you can do those kindsa things when you have all those digital gadgets. I still use film. And I use my computer by kerosene lamp. I guess I've always blasted right down the hill at crosby- It's been a fave of mine forever. It has THE BEST fire pit in the cities.
I remember when I hid my Mock Hunt Treasure along the creek at Battle Creek, The stream was definitely not frozen there which kind of surprised me.
If you have a birthday in January then you get to drink for FREE and a FREE dinner on Wednesday night when you bring 5 friends in--sooooo, you lucky bastards!: AW, Becksie and OTS (hehe) - you should be there!
That kind of sucks because Wednesday is the one day I will definitely not be there at all. Tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday I have things going on until 8 or 9. Friday I'm taking my singles club out hunting adn we'll all be at the Rockin Lobster. Saturday I've booked myself pretty well between 3 and midnight, though I might still get out in time for the clue. Sunday I'm free all day though.
I have to confess that I also thought Mears, relating to the Lowertown Clock. In fact, I'm headed there tonight. So, this is going to be a very short hunt if it is there.
our 'pre-noodle' is traditionally done the night before the P-D-G, we actually call ours the P-F-G since we actually are Finders not Diggers !!! Meet at Buggs any night after Wednesday and I am sure will be there!
I just got back from playing in the snow with TC, ares and Zeph. I came home via Battle Creek Zone 3. The parking lot isn't open and I didn't get out to see if the creek is frozen. I just wanted to see if the lot was open and didn't think of it.
This place is very slow today! It's going to take me forever to catch up.
Last year, Rockin' Lobster did not treat the cooler crew very well. Also, the service was awful and the food/drinks were expensive. A few folks have been checking out other places downtown where we can hang before clue time. The Radisson lounge doesn't work because the don't allow people under 21 after 9pm, even with their families.
Last night a bunch of people went to Great Waters. We were cheerfully welcomed, the beer was great (and slightly cheaper than the Lobster), and they serve food until 10ish. They are also looking into hanging a sign outside that says, "Home of the Cooler Crew". A number of us will be there again tonight. Please join if you can.
onion ... look for the MEDALLIONATOR at the PP and come on inside ... we'll show you how to Medallionate!

Hello oriongirl79 and welcome.
Either Pay me or myself will be at PP tonight. Not sure which one yet.
Kitch a Medallionator ... maybe down the line. He has not expressed an interest. Although as you all know he has had a beer with us at Buggs on the pre-noodle.
[Edited by Michele30 on Jan 24, 2005 at 12:31pm.]
Why are there two B's, two A's and two T's in the lines of the first TWO clues?
Are we doing doubles here again????
Speaking of which me2... I think I'm having a Birthday at the RHB too. :)
mrmnmikey you thinking Crosby?
[Edited by Michele30 on Jan 24, 2005 at 12:33pm.]

Marley- You astound me, sir. I think you may have something that's eluded us quite effectively.
Good to see you, dude- say hello to ATH
Bat Cave..... ahhhhh
Bats :)...
Mikey, is that plaque with the water & ice story down at Pop-up Crosby?
damn skippy....
its kinda like the cops...I can buy a cop a beer.....but i'm not getting in a car with them...
think i need to pre-noodle and beer at some point. :)
But... Both the first AND second clue have "BAT" in them.Â
Well if it is at crosby (which I'm really not convinced it is), I'd rather not hunt there at night...
at least don't hunt alone, however, I think if you're not sitting in a car, waiting for a "ride" you'll probably be ok.
If we have a few of us it would be ok.....
[Edited by Michele30 on Jan 24, 2005 at 12:43pm.]
I'd have to be more convinced before I searched there though. Crosby is huge, I'm not worried that someone will trip over the loot there quite yet.
whats shakin' pussy cats?

lol unlikely, but I remember that hunt.
What up Randy - how's it going!

don't forget....i'll tell ya before me2 does..
that cave was used for mining of glass,
then for boat storage...and up until the year the st. paul jaycees haunted house..
why because only one exit now due to a cave in....
needs 2 exits for the haunted house....
mears? how about rice? rhymes with ice, and has lots of ice, plus there's the clock on the landmark
