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
Clue #2 If you\'re thinking big you\'re sure to dig 
Near flora with growing pain 
Winter or summer is never a bummer 
A menagerie of fun wild or tame
Clue #3 Success on the third clue will never do 
We had to stash a second 
Round you go if you seek to know 
Where swatters of orbs are beckoned
Clue #4: A walk in the park can be a lark 
If cell phones are left at home 
Heed the siren of your desirin\' 
And do not revolt against this poem
Clue #5 Over hill and dale hit the trail 
With a handy locating device 
Fulfill your wishes like loaves and fishes 
And put your victory on ice
Clue #6 A famous singer and a diamond dinger 
Might put you oh so close to the spot 
With the whites of your eyes you should look for the prize 
Within this convenient plot
Clue #7 Don\'t turn up your noses at the city of roses 
The home of the park that you seek 
It\'s just north of town so come on down 
Our hunt is not for the meek
Clue #8 Don\'t go mental just head for Central 
Lexington Avenue will show you the way 
Your spirits won\'t sag when you see the big flag 
Into the trees you want to stray

HEY GOOD LOOKING WOMAN OVER HERE!

Am I talking to myself? Are my noodles that boring? HAHAHA...

Honestly though, I think that a lot of the clues may coincide with Shakespeare's work. That would be a smart way for the CW to make sure people are doing their research.

Or maybe it's me trying to over-noodle since my hunt has to be purely mental this year.

I went into preferences - miscellaneous settings and took the default number out of characters per page. It then changed to 50,000 and I get many most posts per page now. Hope that helps.

I could write out the whole of Genesis and still have 11,935 characters left over. Or I could write out both Leveticus and Deuteronomy but have 9.683 too many characters.

I wonder what happens if you have too many characters for the page? Does it carry over to the next page? How would that work?

The Bard on Flora with growing pains:

For never-resting time leads summer on

To hideous winter, and confounds him there;

Sap check'd with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,

Beauty o'ersnow'd, and bareness everywhere;

Then, were not summer's distillation left,

A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,

Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,

Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was;

But flowers distill'd, though they with winter meet,

Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.

When there were two hunts in 1953, the first medallion was in Cherokee. Maybe they put it back there as a nod to the only other multiple hunt.

actually, if theres too many character in one message it will cut it off. Its way below 10000. I've had it cut off messages befor. If it's cut off from characters (all messages) It cuts off whatever post wont fit. I won't cut it off midstream, just not post the message untill the next page.

so it is describing the bareness of winter, like a bare flower garden, although the prettiness is gone, it is still what it is?

I don't read middle english or whatever that is too well... I need the Shakespearean dictionary...

Sounded awful pretty though, whatever he wrote.

Despite "sonnet" actually stemming from the term "sonetto," meaning short song, sonnets are generally meant to be read as sentences, not especially in stanza form.
