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

I'm totally happy someone from the CC found it.

Although I'm still in shock. I had my $ thinking it was going to go to 12 this year, cause people bitched last year it was short at 6.

Guess I have more time to do some caching now and see all the winter carnival stuff.

Did Jake trade in his Medalionator membership for Cooler Crew? :pbpt:

Awesome job though. I don't think there's anyone who spends as much time and energy on the hunt as Jake. Well done. :grin:

Santa Dave called me from the PP lobby and is letting me listen to the press conference!

I can hear Jake describing how it all happened!!

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of the details, as its kind of hard to hear over the phone.

Brass Monkey is there too and also being interviewed.

Jake is bringing them down laughing with some of his comments.

Congratulations Jake!

We didn't get a chance to get out yet even - that was coming tonight. Bummed that it was found so early. Really glad Jake you found it if it had to be found.

I just got back from the press conference. Jake was really classy and gracious. He dedicated the find to Kirk Condie. He gave thanks and recognition to Brassy Monkey for the noodle that he had which helped Jake find it.

The Press did announce that there will be a second hunt, in tradition with the previous hunt that ended quickly. The first clue will be released tonight. It will be 9 clues in total (basically it goes until the normal hunt would end). The prize is $5000 and apparently lunch with Joe Soucheray. Yes, Jake is eligble to find this one.

Wolfie, I'm sorry.

Over there I'm green_period because I couldn't remember my password for "green."

I thought you knew that was me. I'm sorry. I was just teasing you because I know you.

YOU I'd never doubt. I thought you knoew that.

Please accept my apology.

I doubt it K T. The schedule looks kind of complicated as to when they'll actually be there and I really, really, don't want to sit around Bugg's Place by myself.

I think I'll call it a night early tonight. I figure I can rest up until Clue 3 this time around. :goofy:

I didn't mean you it was somebody by the tagline of Frogtownguy. No apology is needed.

That's so sad. He - or a guy claiming to be him - was at the PDG.

What a jerk saying the things he is. Thank gods we've here to come to.

I know I'm done posting on that site. All I was trying to do was give them the good news about the 2nd hunt and they are so negitive they want you to prove it.

Able minds is a really nice refuge- I think the few pennies it costs has really kept out the skeezicks and sleestacks.

Besides I love everyone here.
