Regardless of who finds it, they must have been prepared to shell out $5,000 though.

sure but their point of having the contest was to get some publicity for their site.

If their marketing/promotions people find out they didn't really see a benefit to the hunt, I can bet you they won't do it again.

I think we should flood their forum with posts saying how much fun we're having looking for their treasure then! :smile:

There's a post on their forum that says mouse #2 was found yesterday. Can we confirm this?

somehow i think that's a reference to #4. as there's nothign up on their site about either that one or 3.

I don't see a phone # to to call to verify.

one would think that cm oughtta be able to confirm sonething. perhaps with a picture?

I saw it. Tim and I were there when he found it.

He's just still out looking.

Tim, Payme and Joey are out near the airport.

I'm thinking that Ares is right. That the person posted that Mouse #2 has been found, meaning that a second mouse has been turned in, not that it the mouse for clues #2

#2 should last another day, unless someone is exceedingly lucky.

Seems like once they narrow down a location, that's when it's found (except #4, I don't know how payme pulled that one off).

Personally I'm really impressed at Payme - it was good detective work to track that one down.

It came down to picking out which parks it couldn't be at.

The one that was left had to be it.

Took 5 minutes to find it.

I'm still kicking myself on como, had I been up early that day....

No, it wouldn't have mattered

Joel, we were just getting to our third spot when we say Mucky pull it up.

You would have had a chance.

KC0GRN

actually I couldn't prevent not waking up. I ended up working until 2 am the prior evening. I was basically comatose at 9.

Gets frustrating, every single medallion hunt this year has been found while I've been at work (at least to the best of my knowledge). I guess that's why I'm sounding so whiny/complainy lately. Sorry to those reading my posts, I'll work on improving my attitude.

I'm back- got to Harriet thismorning 15 minutes after cm found it.

CONGRATULATIONS Clue Master

got out to eden prairie -no luck- but hard to hunt when theres a disc course right there! grrrrr I've got some ideas for later tonight BUT there is no clue that tells where in the park to look and theres a lot of ground to cover. I'm also going to Minnehaha on my way out there. I drove past there thisafternoon on my way home and I like it most. If anyone is around about 7ish -give me a call

Good Luck out there

See the lone, forlorn Longfellow,

Sandstone statue, damaged, injured,

Near the falls of Minnehaha,

Rippling, laughing Minnehaha,

Which the poet helped make famous -

Helped make Minneapolis famous.

Luring tourists and their dollars

To the land of sky-blue waters.

Now, his hands and nose are long gone,

Damaged, chipped, no help awaiting,

Even as the land around him

Gets churned up for lush new gardens.

Some predict a new bronze statue

Of the poet could be sponsored

If supporters raise the money,

Jingling, clinking, potent money.

But for now old Henry Wadsworth

Stands eroding while the rail line

Hiawatha (Really, Henry: Hiawatha!)

Rumbles nearby, clanging brightly.

By the falls of Minnehaha,

Not far from the lake Nokomis.

Names you helped to make immortal,

Though you never came to see them.

this is not a noodle...but I think 75% of you guys will appriciate this after today.

I know I did....

Mr. Med Hunter

I think medhunter may have the same illness that Cluemaster had last week.

Congrats to CM, Mucky and Payme!

that better not be the illness of finding something and not telling anybody!!!

Trust me, KC - having nothing but free time doesn't always help. I was in Afton most of yesterday.
Wed, 10/26/2005 - 1:31 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

guess ya have to have a good balance of free time. I've got none today.

I could try again tomorrow morning, but will the clue be clear enough to me that I'd have a chance? Hard to say, one can always hope, but based on experience... dang I've been down lately.
