Same reason for me to not do the apple valley one.

I'm sticking to ramsey/washington county hunts, I know the area better and it's a closer drive.

We weren't able to get a button for this one. We live in Coon Rapids, but they only sold them in two places this year.

Did anyone else get one?

Heh, they were looking for ideas on how to make their hunt better after I found it last year. I offered to give them ideas or tips, but they never tried contacting me that I know of.

I'm getting the idea alot of these small town hunts really don't care all that much.

There's only two that are an exception to that. Roseville and Oakdale. The later of which actually sent me all the clues and explanations to all but their first hunt (I'm still working on transcribing them, should be done soon).
