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

Yeah, that Ibsen guy! :sheepish:
There was a bluish/tealish glint in the snow about where the medallion was found the next morning.
We figure that was the medallion and had ESD add that to the cooler kid picture used for the banner.
"Orbvious"!!!
:goofy:
:sillygrin:
Ended up walking around como lake last night with the Diggin' girls. Brr!
I can't really figure out what's up with any of this stuff and I can't really figure out anything new. I thought I had a good noodle about Dylan Thomas but it didn't go anywhere.
Back to googlin'.
I think the cluewriter has obviously seen NTFCF. ANd all of the talk about how we all hate como. So based on that, if we heed the siren of our desirin' aren't we hoping that it's not in Como - and is this confirmation?

Ok, heres why I think its Phalen. I may not get out again anyway.
Clue 1: channel the bard (Shakespeare) A woodsy retreat: Cottage: Cottage Av.
Clue 2: Phalen is the largest lake in St Paul, flora with growing pain is Ivy: Ivy Av. Winter or summer never a bummer: one of the baseball fields is now an ice rink, plus all the other refernces to baseball.
Clue 3: Round you go if you seek to know(could be Round Lake or "Wheel"lock parkway and heres the clue that just faced me yesterday when I looked up: The sign in front of the Rec Center says:
Volleyball sign ups here Feb 3-5(not sure on the dates, anyway)" Where swatters of orbs are beckoned" Get it?
Need to try and catch some ZZZZZ's, rest my leg.
The whole cell phone thing is tossing my noodles.
Since when, for one thing, as the CW ever used anything in the Clues about a forth coming event?
How does Ivy have growing pains? Not even poison ivy has growing pains. Kids have growing pains.
But growing panes? Can't be anything but the conservatory.
Ittiz that, even more so than wild and tame 'collections' that keeps me in CoNo. Not to mention I don't have to stretch a single Clue.
The old Gillette hospital that is by the rec center.
I'll go pick it up and move it to BC. How's that?
1. The clue writers obviously where failing to have a long hunt the first time around, so they'll use Phalen to incorportate that into the final clue.
2. Cruel irony. It's the largest park closest to home for me, that I could walk to, if only I had the time.
not many peeps there tho :smile:
the masses are yusually right :smile:
Tell that to all the hunters at Harriet Island on the 10th clue of 2003.
heh
didn't Jake use a GPS system to find Med? Maybe CW are trying to avoid GPS system/cell phone?
