I just came back from battle creek. I have to say that the 3m letters are surely convincing.

I dug for about an hour,.....there is so much snow not even touched. Footprints everywhere, lots of cross-sountry ski paths but no real big dig areas uncovered.

OT - I know. The feeling has changed, but then so has the technology and the clue writers.

Slim! You are TTTTOOOO CUTE!!!

No! I mean, Whattiz in your Book O'Days for tomorrow's date?

The past two days (Burns, Mom Mining) have been great co-inky-dinks. I'm wondering wussup for tomorrow, anything we can maybe fit to BC?

Mite be at the Mom Press tomorrow nite. Don't know. It all depends on what I end up doing tomorrow during the day, how I feel, how tired I am, how badly I want to Hunt at nite, etc.

But I'm sure I'll catch up to you soon!

We did a quick walk through at Battle Creek about 6:00 or so. Saw the big W, I mean M....didn't bring any digging tools, just poked around.

Couldn't get Natalie to stay off the ski trail, and the other 2 were busy speculating on the bits and pieces of clues they've heard Dad and me discussing. Bet we didn't last much more than 15 minutes or so.

That icy layer on the snow reminds me of the year of Conway. Kept hearing crinkly crunchy noises under my feet, and would have to poke around. All I found was a styrofoam bowl.....son-of-a!

Thanks for the link, kiddo. Burns was in "MN Book o'Days"? Odd.

Well thank ya ma'am, summer tan picture that is. I have been well. New job, new car TODAY!

I didn't find Burns... and it's not in the book. Someone posted that off of PP site, methinks.

Congrats on the new car, Slim!

I'm trying to convince myself that it's okay to go to bed. I can potentially be out in the park by noon tomorrow, but I still have to get up at 4:30 and drag myself into work for a half day.

I think I'm going to go be in bed and try to read. IF I'm still awake in an hour, of course I'll have to come see what the new clue brings...really have got to try to get more than 4 hours of sleep tonight though.

Mom - Maybe you'll run into Inks and the son member of this family tomorrow. I don't know what time they're going out, but they will be there somewhere, sometime.

Well!!! Today was YOUR red-letter day! Congrats.

I found it was Rabbie's burfday yesterday when I googled Burns and Braveheart. Wasn't that something? What a co-inky-dink (no, I cannot spell coincidence, unless I just did)!

I'll see if I can find a site of like "Today In History" or something.

If I can bring myself to leave PP. I'm having such a riot over there!

I suppose Me2's not around. Or Kitch - wasn't it Kitch that posted for her?

Wanted to let her know that not lurching goes along with Pine Coulee, tree-phobic, and red-letter day.

The all say the same thing.

Evildoer - I'm fine, tired, wishing I wasn't having to work tomorrow and seeing it rain, reminds me of the ice fields at Conway.

You know instead of hot drinks, the PP should start to hand out penuts and cracker jacks to peeps waiting for the clue.
