2. In 1954 when the chest was at HF (basically the same geography as Crosby) they also warned:

Safety first has been our rule Ever since we went to school; Don't risk your neck in dangerous pursuit, For even a child could find this loot.

Of all of the old clue connections I didn't get.....

duh.... ;p

I can send it seems, not let's see if I can reply.  If I can't I can still send a new one though I guess.

The treasure is at Crosby.

That being said, they will close the gates if no one is in the park. Presumably people don't start showing up in parks at midnight for any good reason. But if people are in the park at closing time, and they know the hunt is going on, they will leave them open.

I saw a couple of big trees that were fallen yesterday and they made a perfect X. Didn't get around to looking too much though.

What if "a prize" is a blue ribbon? There is a tree out there with a sort of bluish ribbon on it.

Are people digging all night or going to meet somewhere before the clues comes out? I'm just feeling way too lazy to go stomping around the woods today. Maybe tomorrow morning.

Hey, that's cool.  Somebody from the PP can hide the puck right then, one of us can find it and CCO can capture the magic moment on film!

Hey MM, if you're going to Crosby might as well hitch hike, you're taking your life in your own hands going to Crosby anyhow.

too bad the hunt wasn't in the middle of the summer, hidden in crobsy, way back under a huge patch of stinging nettles. I was caching there this summer and man does that stuff hurt.

I really should consider going to lay down.

I have to get up at 9 and work... then play at Crosby in the morning then get 2 hours of sleep... then rush back to the bar at night then goto work... uggggg

At least I didn't miss the call from the reporter :)

Who says you can't get them to answer your emails!

I owe it to Pay me though... shes the one who explained how we found him... etc.
