Not so sure if I am gonna need it now... He said the other day that he would be happy if he got around to it by next summer. (I guess that means we are taking my boat this year...)
Yeah... it would be a long walk for me. might take 15 minutes to get to Claret Park...
I haven't looked at the clues until just now, that would be where I would start if I was looking for it. Anyone want to come clean up my mess in the backyard, take my kid to karate, lime the backyard and mow for me Wednesday?
Well that would be where the majority was today anyway. There were about 15 people at Wind park, about 40 people at Claret at one time and only 5 at Lions. I searched them in that order and didn't plan on moving from Lions once I was there. The trail of December Trail and December Way along with the name Lions kept me from looking anywhere else. You bum me out by not looking in your neck of the woods. Common duuuuude!
Hey Z-Man - You better get to Claret. I searched it yesterday but it looks like it may still be out there. Try Winds too just in case. You can blow through that in about 15 minutes.
how weird. I'm looking at my maps for a good area to cache out tomorrow afternoon, and I see this grouping of caches, should make for an easy 10 finds (I hope), Solve 3 puzzle caches, and find out this whole grouping is in rosemount.
Talk about a day late and 50 bucks in movie tickets short, heh.
Well.. I can't say anything about the medallion hunt, but caching in rosemount ROCKS! I set out to get 10 finds there, left the city with 12, almost cleared it, save one cache where the owner didn't specify what numbers to use for a multi, so I had no clue if I was lookin in the right spot for the final.
Man... I picked the wrong week to go camping, and be busy... lucky girl!
wish my daughter would have looked for that rather than the dumb golden leprechaun...
KCOGRN - if you are ever out this way again, caching or whatever, you are welcome to stop by... I live on 147th Street West. Real easy to find, although I don't have a GPS so I can't get you coordinates, so I wouldn't make a good cache. But if you have any, you can feel free to leave all of the cache you like! :cool:
it's neat that they provide answers to all of the questions! That was a no-brainer!
Woo-hoo!....note that the Pooh Paper find is my good friend and former bf, former roomate, Karl (Mr Ellie Pooh)!! He's in the Grandstand, 1st floor... :cool:
lol I was wondering who to turn the scavenger hunt items in to, but then realized it's just something they setup for any groups that wanted to have one. :sheepish: Pooh Paper? that's weird. I'll keep that in mind to go check out at least.
In previous years, winners have claimed their prize within the first few days. The response to this event has been exciting as whole families join together to work out the clues and search for the horseshoe.
2005 History: The Horseshoe was FOUND on 30 August by a team of 4: Evelyn Pelleymounter, Steve Pflaum, Lucy Gaylor, and Judy Anderson. It was found under the Water Conservation Sign attached to the Odd Fellows Park sign on Forest Avenue. The team won $200 for their find, plus the BONUS of $100 for registering their Celebration Button (#3331) on this web site.
This is the second year in a row for Evylyn, Steve and Lucy in finding the shoe. Lesson learned from last year... Register that button!!! $300!!!
2006 Clues will be posted here:
Clue #1
When Jesse's horse Becky, threw her horseshoe
A knight watched it happen, and knew what to do.
He secretly stored it, in his archives
to give to a brother, who would touch many lives.
Clue #2
The brother was worthy, a citizen of renown
A true knight and a treasure, to our beloved town.
He nailed the horseshoe, over his cabin door
and planted gardens and tulips, for folks to adore.
Clue #3
When he passed on, and his cabin torn down
A knight stood by, and took the shoe south of town.
A true Knights Templer, knows how to hide treasure
Using a compass and square and ruler to measure.
Clue #4
The shoe lies resting, near hallowed ground
In a field out from traffic, waiting to be found
Look high and low, for Becky's horseshoe
If you find it you'll win, three hundred dollars... or two.
Clue #5
Oddfellows and Rotarians and fellow Knights would approve
Of the arena the horseshoe had been moved
Across the street from the monument, to his "Band of Brothers"
You guess the annex, it is one or the other.
Clue #6
Start your search in the annex approved by Bill Cooper
The 8 concrete strips are the clue, for a good horseshoe snooper
Face the "290" sign, and the five Elm trees,
Look atop a limb by the trunk, and find the horseshoe... please
List of registered, 2006, buttons (as of 9:42 am on 8/27/2006): 425, 2507, 2508, 5311, 5161, 5376, 5834
I already said if I found it there would be lots of drinks :smile:
I got things worked out and I'll be out in the morning too :smile: with Caribou in hand I hope!
I got a good cut on my foot and those darned nettles feel like they are stinging my ankles right now!!!! hot tub would be perfect right now.
Got it figured out that so far techniqually this would be as if 9 of the 12 clues were out already. 66% ?
I know this was said before but I completely agree - I think it's on the south side of the park on the east quarter somewhere in that brush/trees hidden REALLY well!
 :chagrin: :grin:
thanks for pointing out that ribbon/yarn deal though...
maybe I wont be back out there tonight....
Its a long way to go for me, for no reason...
It's a long way for anyone
I just like to turn the radio up, put the windows down, and GO!...
Its gonna be kinda hard for me to do that anytime within the next year or so...
....
....unless something changes....
and god takes pitty on my crappy life for a change...
Not so sure if I am gonna need it now... He said the other day that he would be happy if he got around to it by next summer. (I guess that means we are taking my boat this year...)

although if its in Rosemount, guaranteed I was probably near you :goofy:
on- heh
And now on day three
For the treasure youÂ’re pining
The clue here is clear
And donÂ’t quit with the whining
Visible from the park
Is wildlife if you dare
There are birds, and some squirrels
You can see a small bear
From the parkway of Shannon
To the East you must travel
The road is not gold
It is also not gravel
To start down the slide
The kids give a shove
Just follow these clues
The prize you will love
Hey Z-Man - You better get to Claret. I searched it yesterday but it looks like it may still be out there. Try Winds too just in case. You can blow through that in about 15 minutes.

Unless it's down by the pond or in the playground gravel, that park was covered big time.
Then again, it didn't say anything about not digging to find it.
pine trees near by
it does sound like you need to dig
Wasn't Shannon used last year? or it was near Shannon
I posted earlier and than deleted it - the lephrechan lies therefor do the opposite - Instead of December find June or something/somewhere warm ....
we went through this last year with the lying lephrechan
I'm heading to Kaposia for a bit--- good luck
Last year, they named off basically every road, and park in the city, trying to confuse people, and/or get people
to/from the wrong parks....
they do a good job at that
