From the Roseville store via phone: "Switch to UTM. Subtract xxN and add yyE."

How often do they update it and when do they release the cords? We could have a few at the park already.

this is an email I got from SCOUT!!

Welcome. My goal is to help someone be FTF. Good luck. More ideas...

Coordinates are likely to be revealed sometime Saturday. No guarantees.

There might be clues to a more definitive time. Maybe.

Clinch can mean either bending down the end of a nail or pin to fasten

it, or nautically, to secure something with a rope and half-hitch.

I've got a feeling something is hidden, not in the bushes, but tied to a

rope near the water.

Maybe it isn't that magnetic hide-a-key that I'm obsessed with. Maybe

it's the cache itself. It's tan colored, which some might say is kind of

a "gold" color. Probably not, though.

"Hidden" (Falls) was only one clue. There's also "saint. Anthony"

(Falls).

"duck" tape also hasn't been solved. Any areas in the parks where ducks

congregate?

And the UTM bonus clue is unsolved. Taken literally, we need to find a

waypoint to figure an offset from. That I-90 was a mistake (should have

been I-94). Could "90" be one half of the pair of UTM offsets? But where

is the origin? Or maybe we shouldn't take the clue so literally.

Now for one of those coincidences... "Snatch" was a 2000 movie,

starring Alan Ford. Many of the same actors also appeared in "Lock,

Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".

hmm.. I've seen ducks up by st. anthony heritage trail, lot of em. Doesn't mean much though I suppose. Anyone figure out that UTM question? I barely use that coordinate system.

Good to see the CC has survived another site going down.

Does anyone from the crew play disc golf, because I seem to remember that Brad does but maybe I made that up. Anyways I just started playing and wanted to know if some regular players wanted to go sometime. Let me know.

HF was fun thismorning -ran into Ian, another guy, Kitch and JT --- see you later -gotta go sit in a room with no windows for 2 hours :frown: but out of this humidity -

South and East. The bonus clue says, "Switch to UTM. Subtract xxN

and add yyE."

Subtract xxN means go south.

Add yyE means go east.

its 99 meters south and 99 meters east..

will create about a .1mile square area to look.

quote from scout!!!

I think it won't be near the turbine. Paul A.

warned us to keep away, too.

One of the clues was a journal title ("Wagon Train to the North"). Any

trains nearby -- tracks, bridges, tunnels, whatever?

I like this scout he's got good noodling skills.

I frisbee golf Tim, not as much as I would like, or have in the past. I'm sure we could get a little group, CM included, out to hit the chains sometime.

Yeah, I go discin' once in awhile Tim. Reg, M2K & Nick sounded like they wanted to too. I have a grad party on Saturday but am open Sunday as far as I know. Kaposia is back to 18 pins and all on top now. Unfortunately, the famous #14 is out.

It was the best hole known in the upper midwest because of it's design.

You would throw over a valley to the other side where the basket was. If you were off even a little, it was bad. But when you were on, it rocked! It was called George's George after the guy who helped design the course. They have disc's and T-shirts made up with that basket on them. I have one too.

JT - You'll have to ask Kitch who my avatar guy is. Or anyone else up for a challenge.
