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

Hunt 2 Clue 5: put your victory on ice
This CW sure likes things on ice!
By the way tell sister and brother was their way of saying it was out of st paul.
How do you figure?
Its been in st paul for so long I interpreted that to be tell the surrounding areas that we have hidden another one in their back yards.Especially that there was never a mention of st paul.
(From "Midsummer Night's Dream")
Over hill, over dale,
    Through bush, through briar,
Over park, over pale,
    Through blood, through fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the mooneÂ’s sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslipÂ’s ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits; IÂ’ll be gone:
Our queen and all her elves come here anon.
Wasn't sure if this was posted here yet...
And just for fun and my own revelry....
The Caissons Go
             Rolling Along
 Words and music by Edmund L. Gruber.
Over hill, over dale
     We have hit the dusty trail,
 And those Caissons go rolling along.
     In and out, hear them shout, :pbpt:
    Counter march and right about,
  And the Caissons go rolling along.
        Then it's hi! hi! hee!
        In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
        For where e'er you go,
         You will always know
  That the Caissons go rolling along.

Nighty night... I have to get up early tomorrow afternoon :wink:
Central = 225 acres
Roseville by enkneeother name is Roseville. It would take weeks, months, for Mom Press to talk Roseville into letting them put the Med there, if they even could accomplish that, not minutes.
In all my [few] years of hunting I have never ever been kicked out of a park, even when I was in the wrong one.
Not to mention, Roseville would capitulate with their jewel of a park and endanger their arboretum? When they won't risk just flora in Keller?
Doesn't wa(r)sh with me. But I'm glad folks are there because there's less in CoNo.
My take on #5: $5,000 is on the line if you find the Med in ice.
Noodling further:
loaves *could* be Bear Crossing with fishes being Lake CoNo.
Torpedo and sundial, though the latter is not hand-held. But for the sake of ease the CW could liken that to a compass due to the compass points. I really like ter's noolde about hoe, shovel, rake, etc.
Hill/Sermon on the Mount: Ittiz on a hill.
There's some path that goes up and down. The one that comes to mind is over by the pavillon.
There are 8 Zones in CoNo in Mappy Gooey's book. I'm thinking maybe five or so have been touched upon - I'm not real sure because I've not taken all the clues and ticked off zones. But you know what I mean? I think heretofore zones are being notated and maybe somewhere in there the Med location. The safest, to the park would be Beulah, Larry Ho, and Pony Rides. But the Med's never been - unprecedented - in Lake South Zone which today's Clue points me to.
"Fulfill your wishes like loaves and fishes,"
If you're hungry and want to eat (wishes) you can get both loaves and fishes at Black Bear Crossing.
They specialize in "woodsy" kind'a foods - like my eggs with smoked salmon, wild rice soup, stuff like that - and "loaves" as in muffins, scones, etc. Not to mention ittiz a "woodsy retreat."
Kind'a stretch. Yeah. One would have to be in the know. Not info the general public would know.
I am ssssooooo uncomfortable with the bible references we've had in the last couple of years. Just sets my teeth on edge and makes me feel yucky.
To me ittiz a church and state kind'a deal. The twain should not meet.
I guess I can see how they could be mad, but I didn't do it on purpose I was just talking to zeph and they let us in early so I went in. The only "advantage" gained is that it is posted on here faster, because last night if you were checking this thread it was probably on here before the people in the back of the line got a paper.
I still love the people that grab the paper and run out of there like crazy people though, they are cute.
Times I've been at the Paper, I've never understood the Clue enkneeweigh and just ambled (toddled) around inside aimlessly having fun and not being cold.
Summer and winter could also refer to Shakespeare...
"A Midsummer's Night Dream"
"The Winter's Tale"
just think, you'll get to do lots of new hides
Baseball fields are there, aren't they?
That's pretty lame if they were just using the clue to say it was in a park with baseball fields.
It does bug me.
Only baseball has Sultan(s) of Swat.
I think there's something in there about 'covering all bases,' but ittiz just a fuzzy noodle in the back o'my head.
round you go - from park to park - until later in the hunt?
To you Eags!
LOL
Unprecedented...no phones..means..ON CLUE 12..you will NOT BE ABLE TO call your buddy from the PP at 11:30 with the clue...you'll have to WAIT until the park opens the next morning..
The parks are public property..so as long as everyone follows the rules...you can do whatever you want in them...NO COP CAN kick youout unless you are there AFTERHOURS (unprecented)..NO MORE DRUNKEN ALL NIGHT HUNTING...
----------- which would also fit with "don't revolt"
PP couldn't get permission from Roseville to leave the park open all night.
hmmm...
