Nightly Pre-Clue Get-Together

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



 

King Boreas aka Ian

heading to Cherokee about Noon, looking for footprints, I mean hiding temp caches, I mean medallions.

The PP Discussion Board is giving me fits. Didn't you used to be able to opt to read only new messages without having to wade through all the ones you'd already read??

Even if you choose "Today" you still have to read all the messages in the thread to get to the newest ones. :chagrin:

Next year I should have an online park selctor finished. Might help to visualize what areas are in and out of play anyway. Need some time to code it and get it working properly.

I think it is straight forward saying - don't look in saint paul.

I don't read it as the advice isn't to look in SPProper.

The advice is to slow the hunt.. only look in saint paul proper

which lets just say everyone did, and it wasn't in SPP, it was in oh... Roseville the hunt would indeed go 12 clues, cause no one was actually in the park the puck was in.

Mr. Med Hunter

Does anyone want the first clue? Or do you want to wait until 11 tonight?

I don't want to know...or do I?

Is it in today's early edition of tomorrow's paper?
