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.
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

Ha.
I dunno though, if I feel up to it, I might drive down with L&A Mommy. Definately tomorrow if tonight's clue is a good 'un.
But those three cinch it for me being at CoNo.
This year I don't have a clue!
But the menagerie thing doesn't fit, at least in my mind, to any other park but Como.
It *could* be referencing the zoo and carousel, but on the other hand, it could wind up being in some park that hasn't been alluded to yet (Like Highland?) in a box of animal crackers.
:goofy:

I spent 3 hours at Central park today and froze my @ss off....If is there, I have no idea where....
Of course some idiots broke big branches off pine trees there,...I am sure the city loves that....
And I found a dam geo cache box and thought I had found the medallion.....I almost had a heart attack on the spot...boy was I piszed when I opened it and discovered what is was....watch out for that crap
It could be any unusual mix. Heck -- the Cooler Crew is certainly a menagerie! :smile:
Just trying to keep from zeroing in too soon on one park.
Posen Park!
Mom, I never said or infurred that you said the Med has to be in a box of anjumul crackers.
I just meant it didn't hit me until I read your post that "wild and tame" could equal anjumul crackers. What I said.
I guess I'll have to xplain:
I just figured anjumul crackers were "tame" - non living, inantimate objects. Dull. Not to mention no zing to the flavor.
And they are, BUT they are WILD anjumuls!!!
So they can be wild AND tame at the same time.
With all the clues giving us parts of Como, it's impossible to figure out for sure what part to dig in...and it's such a huge place to be digging randomly.
I posted the last reply on there:
So you are worried about your kids' virgin ears hearing some drunks yukkin it up?
How about not bringing your kids DOWNTOWN at 11:00 at night????
Haven't been out to Central in Roseville.
Just noticed that the "Softball on Ice" tourney will be at Lake McCarrons. Made me kinda go "Hmmmm".
Regarding noodling: JT doesn't have access here. Scribe is in law school and barely has time to say hi. She comes out at night for a little fun, but we really haven't seen her much (and she is selling buttons). G isn't slogging this year because she has two jobs plus her personal art business. She also comes out at night for a bit, but hasn't hunted. And, she is selling buttons. Me, I'm here periodically. I do much of my noodling verbally at night or in the park. But, I do try to post things here if I find them when I am in front of my computer. Steph just had a baby. And, Otis is working. You do see LL here. Yes, we do have a private thread, but it doesn't get that much activity and we don't noodle there. It is mostly of the, "what time are we meeting tonight?" variety.
Which park do I think it is at? Hmmm. I'm not sure. Part of me wants to follow the KISS principle and believes it is at Como. However, there are really good cases for IM and Phalen. I don't think it is out of town only because the PP published the "out of bounds" map a second time after the second hunt began and it only included the city.
Yippee!!!!
He said that they want us in there. I told him that what he lost in cash he could make up for in volume! tee hee :sillygrin:
So hopefully, everyone will be happy...
I hope to see all the offline noodlers soon, the desire to get out and hunt is weighing on me!
Don't dis Lil'Slim's fiends!!!
Also, current thoughts - maybe there is some way to get a revolutionary war poem (revolt) to fit one of the parks:
Star Spangled Banner
Yankee Doodle
Paul Revere (written by Longfellow)
Battle Hymn of the Republic
I did a bit of googling but didn't find anything definitive, but maybe someone else will.
It's just so stupid. People dislike us because we meet on a message board and share potlucks? It's not like were the freemasons. I was welcomed with open arms 5 years ago. Nobody is excluded for any reason, other than they don't ask.
SHEESH!
did meet a guy today at como who claims a man flashed the puck at him on the way out of the lot, but i doubt it was for real, it was around 1:15pm today... any thoughts?
By the way I am taking a pool up on wether I get fired or not lol Because of the hunt!!! hehehe :sillygrin:
We've first, second, third, and home. We're coving all bases. Going round after swating an orb. Hit a Homer.
Could this have any meaning?
First to last.
Covering all bases.
:pbpt:
wow- great noodles
was down at the coming out for the Vucls and watched the parade
confirmed - if the medallion has NOT been found by 7 tomorrow night... Matty B's will be open from 8 to clue time with 2 for 1s for the Cooler Crew! and Im sure any hunters!
if someone has time can they find that post by zeph about all the stuff at Phalen? the shoes tied to a bench and cottage and if your not succeeding your failing (Phalen) post yesterday -- I looked for a minute and didn't see it
lilslim- you hit it on the nose- we welcome anyone who wants to hang out and hunt!
FYI--- Jake and Brassmonkey in a giant shopping cart was PRICELESS!
you guys have a good sense of humour --pictures will follow but now that the hunt is in full force I dont have the time to post them and lots of others - I will get them posted after the hunt-
