Well WBL hunt is over. Wonder if Kitch of Mucluck found it? I certainly didn't.... and it was in Yost park. Sheesh and I spent 2 days (well not whole days, but a few hours each day) going over that whole place.

Ah well, on to Oakdale

Kitch did you find out where the WBL one was hidden?

KITCH

the wbl medallion was big!!!

about 2.5 inches across..skinny but wide... :wink:

was covered in white modeling clay with dirt smashed into it...was in the woods...

the ladys that found it were only in the woods about 10 mins.

I was told that there is 2 girls that have found it 4/5 yrs...I've got a hunch they did it again.

aaa jeeze.. and I looked all over those woods too. What's worse is it always seems that the finder just walks out and picks the darned thing up.... It's almost insulting to the people that put in a real effort.

    ot, i figured i'd let the insurance co set the thing up. after all, no deductible for me on it, so they have to pay for any consequential and incidental damage to the windshield in the future anyway :smile:

    - I went to the ssp at 8:45 thismorning to find out it was found :frown: then Muck was headed to WBL at 10 to find out it was found .... :frown: I drove my truck to Tires Plus cause my 'service engine' light has been on and it shakes at about 45 mph :frown: -got a nail in a tire and it needs an oil change! I waited on Robert St for a bus to take me downtown to work ...no schedule for the bus, don't know how much a bus ride costs and hopes as long as the bus drives North that I will make it downtown ;p ...... I AM NOT A GOOD BUS RIDER!

    Got downtown and Muck picked me up, we drove out to meet Kitch at Oakdale -hunted in a dress and barefoot, ate m&m's ....then headed to the bar! Bloody Marys! Now I am back at work.

    Kitch? What can you teach me today? ;P

    It's almost insulting to the people that put in a real effort.

    It's not always what it seems either. It's kinda like hearing how someone just put in $2 for one pull tab and walked away with $800. Or just going to one park and spending less than 3 minutes to pick up the SSP medallion. Both happened to me but there is quite a bit of history behind each of them. Anytime someone older finds something, I just have to give them the benefit of doubt that they put in their time somewhere along the line. It does piss one off tho when it's not them after knowing you put in more time and effort.

    Me2, I must have missed you by minutes. That's just about the time I was there. Was the Polka Dot Dairy guy there? He's a cutie.

    bwwwaaah.......I missed u by secs.......the milk guy was there...I told the girl to put up a "its been found sign" as some lady would be in to ask her all kinds of ????'s if she didn't...

    how someone just put in $2 for one pull tab and walked away with $800.

    Thats funny- when we were at the 'Beirstube' thismorning I walked past the pull tabs thinking I should just buy 1! and the thought of winning went through my mind - but I didn't have time to wait in line cause Kitch was changing clothes in Mucks van ;p

    Well where the heck were you then?? I followed that truck from Sabreen's and had to wait for him to maneuver in front of the door before parking. Were you shopping at the back of the store? He held the door for me.

    Boy - Both of you must be blind. Kitch was staring right at me when I held the door for you. You both didn't say a thing. How rude. Maybe it was because I was wearing my polka dot outfit that threw you off. Oh well. :chagrin:

    No wonder I can't find a damn thing...I didn't even notice OT or CM :wink:

    I'm considering using part of my website space to host information about all the local area medallion hunts, archiving clues, past locations, park information for those cities. Considering most local hunts seem to still mention their past hunts in their clues, but don't bother to post the information anywhere, this could be valuable in the future.

    This would allow me to control the format a bit more than hosting it in here or burdening the coolercrew.com site or anywhere with the info (not to mention fitting it into those formats). Once this rash of hunts finishes up, I'll get started. If anyone has information that would be valuable to this endeavor, please contact me. I'll make the website known and available to anyone interested in it, but for google's sake, I'm going to keep it in a private folder on my site so it won't be referenced or searched.

    after we all get "settled" i'm going to pay for a folder just for hunts...

    A thread for each hunt....

    (this place could get spendy for me...but its priceless)
