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

The area that the clue lead you to is basically the back yards of a bunch of houses...I'd be kinda pissed myself if I had 300 people digging in my back yard...there is a fence there but still lots of noise and lights is sure to wake someone.

Just got in- what a zoo when the clue first came out- I was suddenly reminded of Como-people kinda running behind others that were on their phones-funny!

My 11 year daughter didn't want to leave the park, I guess she thought we were staying for the night.

We dug and raked up about 9 trees right around the power tower by the play ground. We'll see what daylight brings-maybe just extra time to lace up our running shoes for #12!

Goodnight

agree, lots of people everywhere and I can still see it going the distance. lots of woods and trees that are vivible from the flag pole. I hope a CC finds it otherwise I will start to prepare for the last clue Mad Dash.

No doubt....

-----------------------------------------------

On another note...

I have my proof of insurance printed out for the next time I get stopped for tabs... I feel better about running to get them now in the morning. I am just glad I was stopped in St Paul, and not Roseville. The cop was cool... he was supposed to tow my car, but he told me to have a great night, watch out for the Highway Patrol and to go find the medallion... I would have figured at least I would have had to go home... :cool:

I'm sure the bon fire went over really well with the cops

Looks like fun :smile:

I got paranoid of having my car towed after getting my lil ticket... so I took off. If the rest of the hunting tonight revolves around that bonfire, then I am fairly confident that it'll still be there tomorrow. (You guys DID check under the fire first, didn't you??? Wouldn't be the first time...)

LA Mommy and I were thinking the same thing as we were walking back to our cars... (we parked in the Victoria parking lot to stay away from the parking traffic...)

I was thinking "come on down" and the Price is Right... when I walked past the steps from the south side, about halfway from the flagpole corner of the lake and the little bridge. There is also a nice little bench in that area somewhere close to there...

Did anyone out there look up at the moon?

There was an awesome halo around it that was like the moon was dug around... No kidding.. was not like the typical halo you get when storms are on the way...

Was beautiful. LA Mommy and me had to stop and soak it up for a few minutes... Best view from the whole hunt, and my camera was 35 miles away with dead batteries... :frown:

Who's Here? [ me2 ] (( bullseye )) [ zephyrus ]

 :smile:

just got home from Central and White Castles

I was suprised at how many people flew into the Lexington parking lot - I saw only a couple, then all of a sudden there were headlights everywhere!!

FRUSTRATING HUNT

I'm suprised tmks clues and the 2007 hunt are so different for being in the same area.

I was kinda bummed that they kicked us out after all that work I did to get that fire kickin'. Maybe the coals will be OK for tomorrow morning.

Seen tons of CC out there. Thanks for the call Kitch and for the parking advice Med Hunter. My cell died right in the middle of it all. :eyeroll: Thanks Iceman for you know.

I even got to see some of the 'missing' CC people out there tonight.

'mom'

It's still there :smile: with a fuzzy sort of halo. Was really big and bright yesterday.

This hunt certainly has been unprecedented! Can't remember when so many were so scattered for so long!

It was really cool of the PP to do the 2nd hunt, but my timing is all off! Normally, we would have been getting to the *good* clues by the weekend, when I might've had a shot. There's always next year, I guess.

Good luck to all out there this morning!!!

GM, nice to finally meet some of the CC at MB's last night...it was pretty much a zoo out there right after the paper came out. Kicked around there for about an hour, hoping to leave work early this AM if no one has found it by 8ish. Thanks for introducing me around Mucky!

Allemans Compact Dogwood

Cornus serica 'Alleman's Compact

Flowering Shrub

Four season beauty with white blossoms in may, plaesant green foliage in summer, giving way to bright red berries in fall and finally an outstanding red twig color for winter. Attracts wildlife.

Zones 3-8

heading out shortly to take a look around.

Later today, I'm thinking about 4 or 5 I'll be in line at the paper, Lelabell will spell me later, if anyone else wants to take a shift give me a call. It's gonna be a cold one today and standing there for hours aint gonna be fun.
