Recent Clues:
Clue #1 Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder
To hunt hard from first to last clues
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes
To some its demented, for all unprecedented
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another
In a park where a body can be benched
Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half
So get out there even if it’s snowy
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus --
A meal with our own Clueless Joey
Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue
Think of a woodsy retreat
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet

On some carousels, like Cafesjian's Carousel in St. Paul, Minnesota, all the figures are horses. Others, called menagerie machines, feature a variety of animals such as cats, goats, rabbits, ostriches, pigs, giraffes, and deer.
I still think the clue writer could be referring to the carousel...just found it interesting that the word menagerie was used.
No one cares about the stupid metal detector :wink:
I finally get a day off during the hunt this year -- and I think I'm getting the crud. Sore throat, headache, ish. Can't be sick!
Hunters more xperienced than I would wander off and leave me 'hunting' alone. Took awhile, but it finally sank in I was wasting my time...

ME2...IT WAS AMAZING....JUST GO TO SHOW YOU...
FINDING THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD!!!

Jake has never been called tame, but most of us are not too wild.
1998 Clues
Back to the 1990's | Full Hiding List | Home
Found by brother and sister combo, Steve Doyle and Maureen Hursey, who took home the $4,000 prize because they had registered a button. Well, of course they registered a button – they had only been hunting for the medallion since they were kids. And, finally, at 1.45 p.m. on February 4 in Cherokee Park, the 32-year-old boy and 37-year-old girl were able to rest this childhood dream.
From 1998 Cherokee hunt, so not too long ago. I know my wife had a first name then, not sure about other girls...

GETS THE NOODLE OF THE HUNT AWARD IN MY BOOK!!!
IF YOU WANNA KNOW IT...GOTTA ASK ME IN PERSON.....
OMG FUNNY...(NON HUNT RELATED)
UMM....I NORMALLY SEE ABOUT 4 OR 5-ISH...I'M NOT SURE OF MY SETTINGS...BUT WELCOME...
IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH IT...JUST SEND AN PRIVATE MESSAGE TO "SYSOP" THEY CAN HELP.
Also interesting... as a lodge could be a retreat.
I think a good way to describe the sceen at the park at the end of the hunt on clue 12 would be menagerie.
That's why we keep all of these good lookin' women around... They're smart too :smile:
Right now I'm kinda going with Linwood and Como.
Linwood:Thirst must be quenched:Schmidt Brewery in sight, Bard of Avon(shakespeare) Avon St, warm and smell pretty could be referring to Avon products or Pleasant(areana or Ave)
Winter or summer I think might just mean there are things to at Linwood in both winter & summer
I dunno we'll see how I change my mind on #3
You'll get warm if funny olde tyme phrases like "heaving mounds" get you randy.
LMAO
