I called her at work, and said "did you know that theres hunt over there? and furthermore, did you know one of your rival pizza places is doing the clues??"

so now we're on that one

:cool:

I think I'm going to head over and pick up todays clue, at some point.

If I sleep first, that is - just got off of work.

Clue Master

I was waiting for someone to post that since I can't see if it did it or not.

Yes it was me. :sheepish: Sorry about that. I moved the entire Small Town Hunt thread to the WBL discussion and then back again. The two move buttons are too close together. Just mark as read.

Maybe I should do that in the Rules thread? :wink:

Columbia Heights hunt

Clue #5

the fairgrounds are a fun place to be,

but too busy for the medallion to be

its now t.i.m.e to put you on par

if you've crossed university, you've gone too far

Clue #6

silver belle is a christmas tune,

not something you'd norm...ally hear in june

Anoka county is a great place

but this county park will slow down your pace

Wicked Nick

yes, the dots are supposed to be there.

In the "t.i.m.e" deal, and also in "norm...ally"

Carolyn/girlbassist says that these two clues eliminate 4 more parks that she can think of...

she's been all over Keyes park, the last couple of days.... hasnt found much of anything, except a baseball.

We're thinking that the last clues come out tomorrow... because the festival and everything is over on sunday, with some kind of ceremony, that you're required to be at, if you find the med.

they've been doing 2 clues a day - one at 11AM and one at 5PM.... available only at Tasty Pizza

I don't think it's keyes. The clues have eliminated a few parks at a time, keyes was knocked out when it was mentioned with hilltop. I only wish I knew the last 3 hiding spots or I'd have more off the list.

My coworker and I searched mckenna, curt ramsdell, ostrander and prestemon before it got too dark out. Sorry, but Columbia Heights is way too ghetto for me to be searching a park there after dark. I can't imagine them hiding it tougher than the places I searched for it. If they did, they're begging for their parks to be torn apart.

The only other ones on my list to search would be silver lake, labelle and sullivan lake. I don't know if I'll get a chance to get out there tomorrow though.

  • sigh* I've put a lot of effort and time into these city hunts, and have yet to find a single one. Either I need more effort, or a lot more luck.

    KC0GRN

    I'm just too honest. I don't think I could face their question of "how did you find it?" :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

    IDIOTS! Why did you have to do that!!!!

    KC0GRN

    Okay, I'm off to see what I can see.

    Can't say I'm thrilled though.

    This is not the way I want to find one.
    Sat, 06/23/2007 - 8:01 AM Permalink
    Terry

    It's about solving clues. Granted you obviously found something not meant to be found yet - but that's their issue.

    Clue One, June 21

    Alas grab your button and GPS as this fun hunt begins,

    where the golden medallion is at, look to where the trail ends

    If itÂ’s the treasure on this adventure for which you have set your mark,

    I can tell you it will be somewhere in a Roseville Park.

    So good luck to you all as weÂ’ll be waiting to see,

    who that lucky winner finally will be.

    Coordinate N45

    Clue Two, June 22

    Through parks, streets and paths you will go,

    be sure to check both high and low.

    Good luck hunting and follow this clue

    at this point what else can you do.

    Follow the path towards the sun,

    where each and every day has begun.

    Coordinate W93

    Clue Three, June 23

    You may gain some thirst if you have come this far,

    and may be quenched by a reservoir.

    Throuch the woodsy and endless run,

    the medallion will be close to the end of one.

    Wtih all the parks to pick and choose

    the treasure is near one where the dogs run loose.

    its a little 2 simple...

    If KC is like me...I've been doing it for almost every hunt just to see if it was possible...

    oops...yep major major major mistake.
    Sat, 06/23/2007 - 8:25 AM Permalink
    KITCH

    basically...all he did was look up possible website links (or in this case file names of pdfs') for the clue...

    all you need to do is change the name of the title...

    tim_the_hunter

    yeah I figured it out, I'm smrt
    Sat, 06/23/2007 - 8:45 AM Permalink
    mrmnmikey

    Joel I agree that you should just go get it. They know we use computers and gps's and they should have been smarter about it. Maybe you'd be doing them a favor and letting them know their web security sucks. Who knows what else you could find on their site if you looked hard enough. Theres been numerous articles in the paper saying we use technology to find stuff, so how can it be wrong to actually do it?

    Acc to another thread KC went and got it.

    Congrats KC!
