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

But at least it was a die-hard hunter, well deserving of finding It. Great for Jake he made history with beating the record, but bummer for us. THREE EFFIN' CLUES!!!

exactly!

Good question. Possibly I could try to have the first clue ready by the Rehash on Sunday. But that following week would still be the early clues.

I know he went out there looking on Clue #1. Hidden Falls just seemed like the spot even before any clues came out.

Anyone know if the PP was giving out 2007 treasure hunt buttons?

Kinda liked the ones from the last couple years.

So what was it found in and where? Any details? I have just been to class and came home to this! At least it is CC'er. I am in denial!

I just talked to Tim who is at Jake's house. If you want to see it, be at the PP at 6pm. If you are late, he'll be inside and you'll miss out.

Also, someone with a high res. digital camera should bring it.

It was in a block of ice - apparently not hidden that well.

BRASS---GREAT NOODLE....

not hidden well at hidden falls?

Man.. the irony of this hunt is just amazing...

Sharing information is a gamble. Sometimes you may give away something valuable, sometimes you may get something valuable.

My son Brass Monkey lives in Chaska he will barely make it to the PP on time can someonr tell Jake he really wants to see it and he's on his way

I think I'm going to try heading over there now.

BM - Jake says he gives you all the credit. It was your noodle and he is very appreciative. He has to bring it in right at 6pm because the PP already knows he has it and they've given him until then to go in.

This is a record, I looked on "supergrid" and the earliest ever was clue 5 twice. Never clue 1-4! With the staff cuts, Ma press is slipping up!!

FWIW...JAKE HAD A FULL LIST OF STUFF TO DO

1) NAKED JAKE PHOTOS OF IT IN HIS BED.

2) GO TO BUGGS WITH IT

3) MAKE A COPY OF IT

4) CHIP OFF PIECES OF IT

5) AND ABOUT A MILLION MORE THINGS JAKE WOULD DREAM OF...

How many times are they gonna hide it in a block of ice. What a dead give away.
Tue, 01/23/2007 - 3:06 PM Permalink
OT

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think years ago it was found fairly early and they hid another one.
