Nightly Pre-Clue Get-Together 

354 Wabasha St N
Saint Paul, MN 55102-1418, US&cid=lfmaplink2&name=&dtype=s\">Map of 354 Wabasha St N
Saint Paul, MN 55102-1418, US 

Matty B\'s is the home of the Cooler Crew. We\'ve got a party going on every evening from 8 until the clue is released. Sunday night, if the hunt goes that long, the bar will be open but food will not be available. 

Clues: 

Clue No. 1 (Sunday, Jan. 21) 
Welcome ice and snow and temperatures low 
There’s no time for cold feet! 
For searchers’ pleasure we’ve parked the treasure 
Where nature lovers each other greet 

Clue No. 2 (Monday, Jan. 22) 
Boreas\' vast realm can overwhelm 
Even diggers used to the long haul 
So here\'s advice to put your hunt on ice: 
Look no farther than good old St. Paul 

Clue No. 3 (Tuesday, Jan. 23) 
Hunters can be surly but in clue-time it’s early 
Be safe, friends, and in the hunt revel 
Near land that is high the treasure is nigh 
Vagueness rules and that’s on the level

I'm a little behind on this disscussion but, I agree with TMK. Keep it McG's this year and let the word out that it's moving next year.

(edit) I see that was the consenses.

Not going to go back and read the criteria for the PP article, but isn't it about how technology has changed the hunt in recent years and to submit a story based on that?

I think you should just send them that picture CM with no comment. It speaks for itself. :smile:

you've got two things mixed together, ot. i got an email from laura yuen because she was doing an article about how technology has changed the hunt. last sunday ma press put out a request for submissions about favorite hunt stories, etc.

Alright I think (and want) to change the location of the Pre-Dig so that one of these years I can bring in my DJ stuff and have a Full blown-out Party kind of the way the Vulcan's do their Victory dance. Where we can all dance,drink,and that way if need be I can make announcements like the park pool is closeing or we are ready to take a group photo and things like that.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this and or does anyone like this idea?

I like the idea. We need to come up with an alternative to McG's next year.

We'll open it up for discussion at this year's PDG. Speaking of park pool, anybody want in again? Is there enough interest?

I'm down for the park pool. But only if I can have Highland or Como. :sillygrin:

Last year, Ian sold me the pool picks for Minnehaha AND Fort Snell State Park for just $20...I was so close!

My first choice this year would be Long Lake Regional Park, but I'd rather take Itasca for $20 before I got stuck with Crosby! ('specially after Becksie's mishap!) :frown:

If I end up getting one of the last spots, on the list again this year, I will not hesitate to waste my money, by taking The Park @ MOA, again.
