2006 Coon Rapids Snowflake Days Hunt

I figured he had to go check on it to be sure its there OR he hasnt had the time to actually go put it out there BWAH!!!

This is one of the reasons I put very little time into the suburb hunts. They do not get the fact that people put a fair amount of time into it. They also have no set rules and do not care to give the explainations when the hunt is over. I'd be really pissed right now if I'd spent any time on this hunt! Has Jake given them a piece of his mind yet?

I think he is emailing them now... I emailed Mike and the head of the Snowflake Days! I had to backspace over my 'WTF's' but was VERY CLEAR I was pissed!

I get where you guys are coming from but these guys that run these hunts don't understand how insane we are. Hell, the person that runs the BIG hunt doesn't know how insane we are.

Like Mr Med said, this is one of the reasons why I don't do these small town hunts.

Clues will be posted here on this website by 8:00 a.m. daily beginning on Friday, February 3rd through Saturday, February 18th, 2006

you?? had to delete your wtf's???? wtf? :smile:

I think his daughter should be de-throned for this

NS! FIX!

clue's up!

OLD SNOWFLAKE, the old timer, was in a DAZE

As he chanted a jiggity jig informative phrase.

If you stand on the sand in a creek that is unique

On the trail south of dale with the track at your back

and one thing you should know, the four o'clock shadow

from the halt sign which you must align

with the one foot twig, near this you must dig.

This will bring you pleasure when you uncover the treasure

hmm.. so they're using a stop sign as a primitive sundial. interesting. Well good luck to whomever gets it.

Well the girls were close anyway.

WTF?

They were searching the parks up and to the left of Sand Creek. Hopefully they'll nab it. Or Jake.

The men's state softball tournament was played there last year. My son's played in it and I got lost every time I drove out there. I think it's the only place I've ever been in Coon Rapids.

did someone call jake with the clue? he's the closest one to coon rapids I think

What is the prize for this sucker?

Jake had to leave the park for work. He says there's about 15 or so people looking in the south end but he doesn't think it'll be found today. Pretty fricken cold out there. No sign of the girls yet.

Hello Ian,

I was supplied with 14 clues at the beginning of the Snowflake Days

Celebration. These clues are to be posted no later than 8:00AM each

morning. Every clue up to this point have been posted on time and in most

cases up to 5 hours earlier than stated in the rules. Yesterday I had

brought to the cities attention that we would need 16 clues to bring us up

to Saturday, Jan 18th. This afternoon I received one last and final clue.

That clue was posted as soon as I received it. As far as I know, this is

the final clue of the Medallion Hunt.

As far as the amount of clues and/or the origion of these clues are

concerned, I have no control over these matters. Please forward any

questions or concerns regarding the Medallion Hunt to the City of Coon

Rapids or the Snowflake Days committee.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

hey baby

it's cold outside

heh

that's Ian, silly girl

is it really? :sheepish:

thanks ian

So no one's found it yet? I think that the misspelled words have something to do with it, but can't make anything of them. I'm out of town at a basketball tournament, but wish I could be back there looking.

I bet you do. CM, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'll call ya - I don't see me making it out today. Gotta teach Grandma some puter thingys. :eyeroll:

I will check into getting one more clue.

:ooh:

1 foot twig = palm?

was my post a little heavy?

I thought it was needed. I didn't like scrolling to read all the clues anyway.

Why does it still show Ableminds at the top of my browser even when I'm in the Snowflake site?

I just got back from Coon Rapids. As far as I can tell it hasn't been found. Jake's out there digging. He likes one part of the park, but I don't really like it there. I really can't tell where it is though. This hunt is messed up.

It hasn't been found yet? Did they consider the possility it was taken? At this point I'd start to wonder that anyway.

There's a lot of untouched snow out there. I think the clues are just so hard to figure out that you can't really pinpoint things.

I am having our "clue writer" put together one final clue this afternoon and it will be posted sometime shortly after 6PM -

Diane here, President of Snowflake Days. I'm thrilled that you are all out looking for the medallion - we've NEVER needed more than the 15 clues that are posted. I am having our "clue writer" put together one final clue this afternoon and it will be posted sometime shortly after 6PM - hopefully this last clue will help you in your search tomorrow. To the person who finds the medallion - email me at dianebuszta@yahoo.com and we'll make arrangements to provide you your prize! Remember, you need to have a 2006 Snowflake Days button in your possession to claim the prize. Again, sorry there wasn't a clue this morning, I really thought someone would find it by this time so we didn't have one prepared. I know that those who are searching are VERY CLOSE to finding it! Thank you everyone for your support of our celebration.

TOMORROW?

heh, my guess is this one is found seconds after the clue is posted.
