2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

I don't either, Ter, but I think that noodling really had some merit.

What if because of the swarm of folks out enjoying the nice weather in a in a certain, high volume, popular park the Hiders had a tuff time finding parking to park to get out and park The Puck?

What if the clue is just telling us the strait stuff? Lots o'folks in a park made it hard to park to park the puck?

I think that was an awesome perspective.

Maybe that would mean a downtown park...Downtown Dave would be so disappointed now that he's not downtown any longer.

Or a smaller park/rec center? Marydale? North Dale? Conway?

That's what's weird, Kop. His writing next to his avatar doesn't go beyond what anyone else's writing goes on my computer. Hmmmmmm

Who is that, green?

Kop - I suspect if he cares that other folks want to know what he's writing, he'll resize that avatar.

I think green is right that they just had a tough time hiding it because people are out with the warm weather, and it made it tuff to find a place to hide it without being seen. I'd say it's in a ice block in a remote area, away from the more poular parks.

I see what you were getting at now. Could be. I'm thinking maybe I'll go there today and see.

I'm not saying a place yet though. But I do like the to warm/too many around aspect.

I got my furnace fixed by the way. Repair guy didn't know jack. I fixed it myself. BFH came in handy for a stuck fuel valve.

Thanks Tim. They're already messy with our minds. Sick.

Still no confirmation from my friend about another clue tonight.

Lee - yup. She's a good person. Has worked there many years and helped get the coolercrew.com site cleared for us. I don't know that we would have ever managed that without her.

Whoa. That would be a dampish kind'a comforter if no new Clue tonite. Yuck. I mean, thass like the impetus (sp?) for the whole PDG.

Big Bummer if no Clue.

This is gonna be interesting.

I highly doubt the existance of another clue. Jake is just trying to mess with you guys.

The only reason I posted that I believed it was it was confirmed by a more reliable source. :grin:

I asked her, if an editor showed up, to find out if:

There will be clue #2 this evening.

And if so:

Will there be 13 clues or wwill this all end a day sooner?

I will post here when I hear - if I hear anything.

Well if the clues in the paper, I don't see why we can't go find it. What say you?
Sat, 01/21/2006 - 12:38 PM Permalink
Terry

And I asked her to put her Reader's Advocate hat on and tell them this member of the Cooler Crew wasn't happy about this.

It is a dampish comforter feeling to have this out already.

2 days of noodling clue #1 isn't good.

What if it's not a mistake, but a new wrinkle in the old game? No more clues at 11:30/midnite on line.

Is that possible? Nah. Can't be. Can it?
Sat, 01/21/2006 - 12:38 PM Permalink
Terry

I think finding it has to be okay.

Can you see it? Medallion found on clue 1, released in the early edition of the January 22nd paper.

For those who pay to have the paper delivered to your door - too bad.
