Call me stupid but I can't get it to change color.....!!! I'll call and find out!!! Leaving for AZ on Mon. th 7th... trying to swish in the rehash bash.
I'll write chapter on swearing when you dug in place it was found 2 years in a row plus a chapter on how knocking up a daughter of carnival board can help u find it
This is the only info that I could find about where to send clippings. Even after the medallion is discovered, hunt participants still have a chance at a payoff. As soon as the medallion is recovered, immediately mail in all the clipped clues from the paper, and you will become eligible in a drawing for vacation packages provided by Sun Country. All clips must be received no later than three days after the hunt ends.
I suspect that just sending them to the Pioneer Press Bldg downtown would make you eligible.
I'll prolly be lurking, but I'm off to do some catfish studying. I've a lonesome Clown Loach and I *think* there's this like spotted loach I've seen. I *think* ittiz a loach. I want to find out and see if they'll school together.
I still can't figure out why clue 7 isn't in clue 10's spot?? The PP should start choosing coolerheads who are interested in sitting out for a year to write the clues. We all know we would do a better job than them. Oh well, see ya'll at the bash.
If they leave this board up all year again, maybe we can do our own virtual hunts. Not sure how it would work. Will have to think about that. I guess its time to start seeing if we can't plan a spring hunt again now that jake has offered to help find a sponsor. Will have to get back on that too.
And by the way, I was glad we had that party last night. Hoped everyone there had fun and it was cool to meet some people I had not met before. It was also nice to have a chance to christen my shovel in the fire made from the ashes of this years clues (guess I won't be winning that trip either!)
It's hard to stay away. For one week this and a park of choice have been my home all evening and a good chunk of the night. I must admit to a high point of depression last night when I found out, that I have not really experienced before. It's a let down every time the hunt ends and you are not the victor, but it was something to do with it being found on clue 7 that was too hard to take. Thought at first the clues were well written, after I found out what all the meanings were, I thought they were worse than last years, which were terrible. Congratulations to the champion. If this stays up all year maybe I will chat with you all occassionally, otherwise I am done till next time. take care all. Thanks Worthman for the excellent book! Thanks Allison for the prehunt party and the good info, which I will have to pay more attention to next year. Damn I hate Newell Park.
Thanks, Allison, and to all who were a help on the cooler. See you next year. Congrats to the medallion finders!!
And a special thanks to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. I really do think they're one of the best papers in the country, and I would never subscribe to any other paper; namely, the Strib.
Hello again! Lots fewer messages to slog through now that the hunt is over.
Regalman - I was hoping to meet you last night. Can you make it to the rehash bash on Sunday? It's always fun putting a face to a name.
Deb with web-tv who couldn't post here....hope you can make it too.
Today we went out to get some stuff taken care of. I have to admit, it felt weird not to be doing the long johns and big boots...and I felt a bit out of whack without our digging implements of choice.
Terry, I was so disgusted last night I didn't even come back on here till today. It made me so mad to realize I went home for 2 hours, and it was found. Then, after reading those hor$eshi+ clues, I couldn't face myself to fellow hunters or even think about the hunt. The only thing I was better at this year than last, was getting the tools out of the car quicker.LOL I will be at the bash on Sunday to meet everyone. Regalman
Hay, Ter!
Thank you so much for again opening your home. Ittiz ALWAYS such a warm, happy, fun time there.
Did I leave my car there????

hello green! I was just fooling around with HTML
(font color=red)
Space between "font" and "color", GRed.
This is the only info that I could find about where to send clippings. Even after the medallion is discovered, hunt participants still have a chance at a payoff.

There??? I did it! Thanks I'm going to dial up the paper now...WLYK
And Green - didn't we decide last night to start about 11:00 next week?
green, do you really type in the HTML code for green every time you post???
Yup, Timmers! Ittiz habit now.
Ter, yeah... But I figured the core folks would get there 11'ish and get things going.
Did I do wrong? I'm sorry if I did. I'm planning on 11...
hello to all,
I had to steal the computer from my sister just to get on here! I think the "pity party" got her exited!
P.S.
her handle= little laura
I was just confirming things. You didn't do anything wrong except spending time at that other park. Hehehehehe
"hehehehehehe" yourself, Mz. Newell! :>
And *that* wasn't wrong! I'm the Failin' Phool! Got *that* park ACED for future years! :)
Pre-Hunt Prediction:
WAKEFIELD PARK!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!
OK FYI.... I called and was told to mail your Clues along with your name and address to:
Pioneer Press c/o Promotions Department St. Paul Winter Carnival Treasure Hunt 345 Cedar Street St. Paul, MN 55101
Worth a shotttttt!!!!
now THAT would throw us off!
way to go G-Red!!!!
Who would have guessed??? DAAAAAA
I would of bet my tamalies that GREEN would be clutching that plastic disc this year...Next year will be the coolers year! Adios...off to Mexico.
green, have you ever considered different greens?
WHOA, Tim! Good job! You figured out the number thingy! Naw. Too much work. I'm too lazy.
Too, the green with yust using "green" is dark enuff to be easily read. The lighter colour are harder on the eye. At least on mine! :)
I've not the most "well-trained" eye, you know...
I'm done with HTML for a while! I was just expirimenting. That was the most time consuming 7 word post I have ever done!
I'll prolly be lurking, but I'm off to do some catfish studying. I've a lonesome Clown Loach and I *think* there's this like spotted loach I've seen. I *think* ittiz a loach. I want to find out and see if they'll school together.
Catch you guys later! Or off and on...
Sister is taking the computer back by storm, so GOOD BUY! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
I think I best get something done around here too. Too many days of hunting and noodling.
See you all later!
How was the PARTY??
There is much to be said for failure. It is much more interesting than success.
This is especially true in DAVOLIS case!!
ÂÂ
We want to say Hello
To all are hunting Fellow
When over we heard a loud Bellow
You all were so kind you deserve a Halo
We are really Blue
We had every Clue
But it was so hard we got the Flue
Still we did not know what was True
We worked at our own Pace
Thought we would win the race
We were sure to be the Ace
Put only ended with red on our Face
We had fun reading Green
On the computer Screen
We thought we would Screem
When it was over for the Team
We will meet you All
At the bash for All
Sunday you we see us ALL
We will be walking Tall
I still can't figure out why clue 7 isn't in clue 10's spot?? The PP should start choosing coolerheads who are interested in sitting out for a year to write the clues. We all know we would do a better job than them. Oh well, see ya'll at the bash.

I say we all through in $100 each and hide two items leading up to the 3rd!
1st hide = 20% 2nd hide = 30% the big one = 50%
Get 100 people which = $10,000
Make it a city wide hunt not limited to parks!
I had my own hunt the other day. I put up $5000, I made the clues, I went on the hunt and found it after the 5th clue!
I didn't have a button so I didn't get the extra $5000!
Boy did I feel like an idiot!!!

It starts between 11 and 12 and goes until we can't take being in Newell anymore
Thanks, Allison, and to all who were a help on the cooler. See you next year. Congrats to the medallion finders!!
