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

We'll I was really suprised that the lot wasn't full of people...there really wasn't that many people out there tonight like I thought there would be with it being spelled out. But then again I left pretty early just because it was way to freaking cold and couldn't see a whole heck of a lot. See ya all out in the park tomorrow I'm sure!

Time for me to sleep.

FYI, the PP board is reporting that the cops were ticketing some cars there. I guess if worse comes to worse, park on a side street.

I want to admit I was wrong, first and foremost. Now that I have accepted that defeat... I can get on to bigger and better things :smile:

No... We even talked to a few cops and they said they weer just there to make sure none of us killed each other.

Gonna look over the clues again, take a 30 min nap or so, grab some grub and head out. Again.

Is all good, had a great time out at IM last night... Could not have been done at Central last night, that's for sure :smile:

I didn't get chased out. In fact I saw many a hunter talking with the cops. I think they were just making sure we knew they were there.

I'll be back in the morning bright and early.

Was nice scouting with you CM!

I had fun pretending it was at Indian Mounds though!

Me too!

It was also nice to see about 175 hunters out at Mounds tonight too! :cool:

Although I have a feeling it's at Central like I've been saying all along. :eyeroll: :eyeroll:

It's about time you guys join me out there.

HeHe - I'd say more but my mouth is full of crow for some reason.

It was nice hunting with you tonight too Oddie. I think we're definitely on to something there. Good luck in the morning.

I prolly won't be out there until noon myself.

I know the feeling :frown:

This just in from the PP:

Tonight the cops were letting us hunt fopr 1 hour after the clue was let out (12:00)... So at 1 a.m. they were evidently yelling that they were starting to ticket now...

Glad I read that before I headed 35 miles back north again...

exphuntr -" 5810.91 in reply to 5810.90

Once and for all...IT CAN NOT BE IN CEBTRAL PARK. It is in Battle Creek Park. Go back, look at the 1995 clues. It was in Battle Creek and the same "hill and dale reference was made. Get out of Central Park and give the cops a break. Long ago it was establised Roseville will not accept it. "

iceteam -"5810.93 in reply to 5810.91

1995 WAS 12 YEARS AGO. HUNT HARD FROM 1ST TO LAST CLUE =12 CLUES. I LIKE IT."

exphuntr -"I must admit, I didn't realize that. I like that too!"

It may be that I can't sleep, and that I should be getting all clandestine and heading back out or something... but that was a funny conversation...

Hey, KT! I think I'll pass on the no-sugar flax seed muffins (I heard there's *crepes*!!!) Thanks all the same :smile:

How's Hannah???? Give her an extra pat for us, K?

Call me crazy, but I'm still not sold on Cental...largely because I wouldn't know where to start. Roseville, yes....Central, not sure.

Haven't been out there yet - isn't that a shame? So perhaps seeing things in person will change that.

There's no way I'm coming up on my lunch, so the med will just have to wait for us to come out in the evening. :smile:

Well. Isn't this a bite!

I gotta say, my hat's off to all of you that were on to Central. Took Brass orbs, it did, to think THAT big. GOOD YOB!!!

I was still in CoNo. At least I wasn't in BC! LOL!!! (Or Phalen... Or Chair-O-Key!) I'm evolving!

I would'a bet Shakespeare's left orb the Med was in CoNo...

Crap. I guess I gotta suck it up and go WAY out there. In the spirit o'the thing. But like OT (I think it was she) said, I'm so far behind and know nothing about that park <whine>.

Crap. This Roseville thighy just does NOT feel rite!

But... What a history making year! Jake in three and outta the City!!!

I'm never gonna find it now, so I'm puttin' my money on Jake and pullin' for him. Talk about a history making year!!!

GO JAKE!!!

Gee, Mom... You think? Not Central? Well if not central, what park? I think Central. Someone said earlier about the masses being right... I think Central.

I'm so glad to be alive and a part of the Hunt this year... Such history!!!

Damn! We need a book of Ramsey County parks!

For days, seeing WWJD?, I keep thinking of that commercial for... Toyota? Mazada? Volkswagon?

With that guy, in the t-shirt? And he's saying "Where would I go to find info (?) on buying..."

And his finger is pointing up, waving to and fro, at www.toyota.com or where ever.

Wouldn't that make a WONDERFUL commercial for The Hunt?!!!

"Where is The Med? Where should I dig?" with the finger pointing up to WWJD?

That would be so cool!

GM, so has everyone pretty much given in to the fact that it is at Central? No good leads on "whites of your eyes?" I'm wondering about the NE corner of the park, right next to the Am Legion...war/soldiers - don't shoot until...it's off Dale and across from the nature center...and there is just one lonely ball field there?

IT's a St Paul winter carnival, I am from Falcon heights and then SSP, so it should stay in St Paul! In my opinion, growing up, Roseville never equated St Paul! I know that first Med is from the 'City. Just dissapointed because its fun to return to st paul, my roots, to hunt. That was part of the hunt fun for me. Roseville~geeze that was out in timbuktu to us in st paul!What's in Roseville other than Rosedale. I guess I am turning my nose up to Rosevile. But my aunt lives in Arden hills on Lake Johanna, so Roseville was a drive-through!

I was told that the ballpark was owned by the Legion, therefore private property and off-limits. Can anyone confirm this?
Tue, 01/30/2007 - 6:18 AM Permalink
zephyrus

Is part of the park. The Legion may maintain it, and therefore have it's name attached, but is part of the park. It shows on the maps when you get to the park.

sorry, the link i just gave goes to main page. I typed in "roseville, mn" and it pops over Rosedale, but you can see Central park, just manipulate the curser.

it seems to be somewhat of a consensus about it being on the dale side, but notice the clue says OVER hill and dale hit the trail towards the church.

i'm on the lexington side myself. that's where the lake is (famous singer).
