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

Oh, I forgot why I came to post. :pbpt:

Anyway....I went out scouting at Central Park today and didn't see any CC, but I did run into and talk to the two guys who found it in Highland Park in 1968! :grin: They said they know AW. Asked their names and all I can remember is one was Kevin something (I think :chagrin: ) and one had the last name Lynch (or something like that :chagrin: ).

But it was fun talking to them. :goofy:

I don't know if I would say we know each other, but we have met and talked a couple of times in the park. For all the flak last year's finders took, these guys realyl did play hookey to go hunting when they found the medallion.

They still look like they have some mischief left in them. :grin:

They were really nice though. And I asked if they went on any of the boards and they don't. Just research stuff online. They told me how they'd interpreted the clues and we were in agreement. So I felt pretty good about that.

It's still a needle in a haystack.

KT: i am draging, too! In bed from Hunt at midnight, up at 6 am, then in class or doing homework, but its' part of the hunt. Only other hunters understand these circles under the eyes. At work they ask why am i tired, i say I was up with the hunt, and they stare at me, Here they understand!!

I have to be at the dang school at 5:30!

Then photograph 7 and 8th graders for 6 hours.

People!!! I'm going to TRY and drive down to the pp, and let people warm up in my truck, and serve coffee- If I can do that for awhile, I won't feel like I've abandoned you.

If you look at the arial shots of Central, did you notice those weird circles or clumps of trees in the middle of water, look like eyes.

They are in the nature center part, off Dale. I don't think they would hide it in the nature center, maybe as a point of reference, or maybe just nothing!

must be the calm before the storm.

Well I'm signing off for a while. Maybe I'll be someplace with a net connection around 11pm so I can watch the carnage virtually anyway.

Good news, I pick up my new car tomorrow. A day late and 17,000 dollars short.

So to verify, no one is going to MattyB's? I don't want to get down there and have no one there.

I would think everyone would either be at the the park or in line. I would be surprised if anyone was at the bar.

Good luck everyone!

It's kind of fun to watch the moment the clue comes in from the paper. It's like watching some '50s news event, where all the reporters run to the phone to call in the story. It's insane. The waiting, as Tom Petty would say, is the hardest part.

good luck to everyone! I'm watching from home this time.

Sounds like Pay Me will get to be in the park for the mad dash with you all.

I'm excited for her since she's always been on the other end of the phone when these things go down :smile:

I'm impressed on how everyone is working together to make things fall together on this one.

FIND THE DAMN THING! :cool: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Good luck coolers!
