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

Her head kinda hurts today, but she'll live.

just an fyi

when somebody else tried to get in that "CAB" we told the guy not to get in ...if he did it would be 75$.

I'm 90% sure the guy took another cab :smile:

He was at the predig at McGoverns last night. He don't live downtown anymore so he don't post the clues anymore.

Well, the med hasn't been back to como since 2003. About time for a return? ANd the polar bears on the buttons.....?

he was at the pre-dig last nite..

mrmnmikey

yea what a sad state of affairs. One cab wouldn't even take us, and the other wanted $75 :angry:

I wasn't that bad, but it woulda been a safer bet to take a cab.

fwiw...

I'm still liking my park pick of SWEDE.

of course i'm going to MAKE it fit...

I think swede is too small. PP knows that a large area is needed with how popluar the hunt has gotten.

Downtown Dave

Yes, it's true. I'm now Highland Park Dave, at least geographically. But I'm still around, and still hunting. Just not able to walk two blocks to get the clue anymore. On the plus side, I have my very own garage, so I think I'll stay here. It's a very simple pleasure.

Hi DD! It use to be fun at 11 seeing you post the clue. Great memories. Glad to see you're still noodling. I didn't get to the PDD...

the bird anagrams still bothers me. I believe it's more than a coincedence that there are two bird anagrams in clue 1. owl=low and greet=egret. has anyone come up with a bird avery? :grin: :chagrin: :eyeroll:

DD: i like that WC analysis you and the Mrs. DD did on the super grid on TH site. Great analysis. Plus how you did the clues. 28% of the survey has the med this year at Como!

Kitsch, I like that. And ittiz (sorta) at an entrace - "greet."

Great noodle!

Kitch: places to park and what-not at swede. How many large parks are left to hide it in in St. Paul, they just bounce between the few bigg-uns it seems.

Where nature lovers greet

sounds almost like the lovers in the natural areas of crosby, wher nature and lovers greet
Sun, 01/21/2007 - 9:35 AM Permalink
queenmalley

Where nature lovers greet could be dogs, but no park by off-leash dog run.

"Aida place" is a street in Como. Aida is a great opera about lovers.....

How early was the clue released last night? It seems like there was very early discussion of the bird clues (even before 11PM Saturday when the clue tends to usually come out).

I think it came out in the early addition in the afternoon.

I think it was out as early as 10 or 11 am

Well all I get out of Clue one is it's in a park.

Nature Trail anagrams to urinal treat :eek:

Kind of reminiscent of the diaper only worse! :worried:

Clue #1

Welcome ice and snow and temperatures low

There's no time for cold feet!

For searchers' pleasure we've parked our treasure

Where nature lovers each other greet

why are the words "each other" in this line? They are totaly unecessary

Just to keep the metre consistent, mrmikey. It would be awkward with out it.
Sun, 01/21/2007 - 11:06 AM Permalink
blackcat

mrmnmikey. the each other to me leads me to think Como because many people have wedding pictures taken of each other at the arch that is filled with nature. All the flowers on the arch. no time for cold feet could mean the groom not getting cold feet right before the wedding. ALSO>>>>> on the button this year with the bear he is wearing a past year button. can anyone tell me what year that button was from? :smile:
Sun, 01/21/2007 - 11:08 AM Permalink
queenmalley

I think Como is past due for the Med. No time for Cold feet movie highlights Como, doesn't it. Plus Como has polar bears, birds, urinals.

I don't think it would be awkward without it. Maybe it's just me,

thats good thinking. The zoo fits in with nature sort of too

    However, my adult son thinks cule #1 is drab and would never give away the park location! He has been on hunts with me for at least 10 years now. it's still anyones guess!
