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

I saw some post on PP last night and some woman said she found a baseball frozen in ice at one of the ballfields at a park, but didn't have anything to chop it out with...

A baseball frozen into the ground at Central. I hope it wasn't the med... You would have needed a jack hammer to get that thing out.

FWIW---

I JUST CALLED PARKS AND REC. IN ROSEVILLE...THEY ARE PISSED....

THEY SAID THEY ARE GOING TO SEND A BILL TO P.P. AND THE FOUNDATION IF ANY DAMAGES MADE TO THE PARK...

THEY SAID THEY ARE WATCHING....AND THEY WILL EVEN "TRY" TO CLOSE THE PARK IF NEEDED.

I feel like this is going to be a test to see if the PP ever hold it in a non-St Paul park again.

On the lake at Wakefield in the 70's...in a tire under feet and feet of snow.

We will likely be out there in another 45 minutes or so. Get to dig for a little bit.

I have checked them pretty thoroughly and I don't think it is there. However, if someone does find it in Right Field I damn them to hell because taht means my entire Friday afternoon of digging was all for naught.

I just got back....

The cops suck...

Didnt run into anybody else out there, but we were harassed by cops 6 times overnight...

the first guy was cool... he said that we should leave, so I showed him the clues...and he goes: "S**t! It is here then huh? Well, I'm a nice guy, so I'll let you hang out, but the other guys might not be so cool"...

....wished us luck, and was on his way.

About a half hour later, 3 more squads rolled in, spot lighted us, guns drawn, put your f'n shovels down (yeah, they swore), etc....

They didnt want to listen to reason, or that I already explained whats up to another cop - "Leave now, or you're in trouble"....

My response was: "I guess i'm in trouble then", and then I resumed digging....

Thought they were going to come after me, but they just sat there for another 20-25 mins in their cars, watching us, and eventually left.

a few other cars came and went, while we were there.... but none of the rest flashed guns at us...

also....

since I/We didnt make it down for the paper, we needed a clue....

we decided to hit Super America, on Rice Street.... not realizing that it was near 1:30-2:00 in the morning, and they probably wouldnt have the new edition of the paper yet....

and they didnt...

we messed around with the speedy rewards card machine thing (it wanted me to do a survey, for 50 extra points), and then we got some snacks for the park....

on our way out the door, the PP delivery guy showed up....

I think I found my new way to get the clues :goofy: :wink:

Guns drawn?? :eek:

That clinches it for me. I'm spending the rest of this hunt at my computer. Worst thing that can happen is I get carpal tunnel.

Does the PP know about the cops being out there with guns drawn?

I think they need to clarify, with the hunters and the cops, where its ok to be.

Sure don't want anyone getting "cuffed and stuffed" - or worse!

LMFAO brings back too many memories

some quoted lyrics - not mine mind you - the faces and names have been changed or altered to protect the guilty....

F the police and SLIM said it with authority

because the ninjas on the street is a majority.

A gang, is with whoever I'm stepping

and the mother fUGGIN weapon

is kept in a stash box, for the so-called law

wishing SLIM was a ninja that they never saw

Lights start flashing behind me

But they're scared of a ninja so they mace me to blind me

But that shiZ don't work, I just laugh

Because it gives em a hint not to step in my path

To the police I'm saying fUDGE you punk

Reading my rights and shiZ, it's all junk

Pulling out a silly club, so you stand

With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand

But take off the gun so you can see what's up

And we'll go at it punk, I'ma fUDGE you up

Make ya think I'm a kick your ass

But drop your gat, and SLIM's gonna blast

I'm sneaky as fUDGE when it comes to crime

But I'm a smoke em now, and not next time

Smoke any mother fuDGEr that sweats me

Or any ass hole that threatens me

I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope

Takin out a cop or two, they can't cope with me

The mother fUDGIN villain that's mad

With potential to get bad as fUDGE

SORRY roflmao HERE

At some point the cops are going to get tired if chasing people out I would think. Although I still say hunting it at night there is semi-pointless.

LMFAO - i need to buy this cd again or get it from itunes......

I'm tired of the mother f@@@ing jacking

Sweating my gang while I'm chilling in the shacking

Shining the light in my face, and for what

Maybe it's because I kick so much butt

I kick ass, or maybe cause I blast

On a stupid assed ninja when I'm playing with the trigger

Of any Uzi or an AK Cause the police always got something stupid to say

They put up my picture with silence

Cause my identity by itself causes violence

The E with the criminal behavior

Yeah, I'm a gangsta, but still I got flavor

Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?

A sucker in a uniform waiting to get shot,

By me, or another niNJA.

and with a gat it don't matter if he's smarter or bigger

[MC Ren: Size don't mean shiZ, he's from the old school, fool]

And as you all know, E's here to rule

Whenever I'm rolling, keep looking in the mirror

And there's no cue, yo, so I can hear a

Dumb mother fR with a gun

And if I'm rolling off the 8, he'll be the one

That I take out, and then get away

And while I'm driving off laughing

This is what I'll say

HAHAHA - hope i dont offend anyone but am enjoying re living the late 80s :smile:

I'm sure it will be okay for hunters to hunt within reason without having the cops draw their guns. I would think people would not have to worry about that any more.

Unless it's warranted, I don't see any cop risking drawing his gun for something as trivial as this. Even if he was a late night underpaid gloryboy. They were probably messing with you while the spot light was in your face. I didn't see any of the many cops out there mess with anyone for any reason.

I don't think they could even draw their gun if you were digging in the park in the middle of the night in the middle of summer.

It's not that I don't believe you, I just find it highly unlikely is all.

If anything, IA would be getting a call ASAP if that were the case. Because that was definitely NOT standard operating procedure.
