Green! Thanks for the sauce. LuLu and the three sisters are here. So I'm gonna wait to do the "taste-test" till the sisters are gone. I don't want to go teary-eyed in front of them!
Just seeing the posts "talking" about clues has gotten my mind a running, and in that "overload" mode already. We gotta have it this year! Gotta!
10-4 Over and out!
P.S. Has anybuddy communicated with the Wild and Karazy Guys yet???
Happy New Year Everybody! It's so exciting to see people back on the board. I would check from time to time during the year but now the fever has really hit. I love the idea of Dave phoning in the clue and having it come up early on our site if Tim is willing. Electric Duane and I are now down south in Northfield and I fear I/we will not make as many trips up for the revelation of the clue/late night digging as we would like. But being able to noodle right away would make up for it partially. I do think I'm going to have to schedule some days off for digging (I'd prefer to save them for day 8 or higher when the park is more certain). Hopefully it won't be found early or if it is, I hope it's a cooler crew digger who finds it!
Folks are starting to make their way bock for anudder Hunt!!!! Xcitement's building!!! I LOVE IT!!!
New Daddy, yes, we're still sibs. I'll be over sometime this Friday to get your email address. The documentary folks want to talk to you. Ittiz like you read my mind!!! (No epic tome, that!) I was wondering how to get ahold o'you and knew I just couldn't call and ask, "Is New Daddy there?"
Or, go to our Website (http://www.coolercrew.com)... You can get contact info for the producer there.
In about three more years, you're gonna have digging help, aren't you? This will be Tyler and Natalie's first year... 1998 was Hannah's. Thass when she lost her foot. Poor kid. I had that foot for a YEAR! Hope Tyler and Natalie hang on to theirs!
Green--sorry--but a palindrome is something that reads the same forward as backwards. 9339 is a palindrome. 9393 has many interesting properties, but not that one! Not trying to nitpick--just working the brain.
DDave, not nitpicking - you're just point out where I was incorrect - teaching me - in a very nice way!
I wondered about that after I posted... Well, it was a nice two pair! :D
I remember the Snoopy Cam. It was fun. But Rice *will* be out, as usual. The Ice Carvings.
I still believe The (Clueless, Doofy) Clue Writer(s) watch here and change the clues when we get on them in a hurry. Last year they were just asleep at the switch and missed Terry cackling over her crystal ball. Hope they're snoozing well as I look into my emerald one: BATTLE CREEK!
Also, DDave... Please contact the documentary folks. They've not your email address.
The Pearson Candy Company out on 7th Street also had a Snoopy. Is that considered St. Paul? Also it seems to me that over the hill, yonder, (north?) is another park that the medallion was placed on previous hunts. I cannot remember the name of the park, only that Green was on the cell phone with me when I escaped from work one day, to scope things out. Green, what is the name of that park??? I'll hafta go look it up.
Regarding Snoopys about town - there are several that are on public display. Check out the front page of the pioneer planet for a full list. You just never know what might come in handy - and that was a huge deal in St. Paul this year.
Cackling Green? Me? Cackling? I've been cackling for a year!!! LOL!!!
Hmmmm . . . 1993 hidden in a diaper. I wonder if it looked like it was "used" and nobuddy wanted to check it out . . . . then someone had some courage, plugged their nose and looked inside! LOLOLOL!
It was an unused one on a small triangle of land between two driveways out at Hidden Falls. I don't think anyone had thought to dig there - but we drove by it several times that year.
They changed the name o'the thread! I like it! Shows ittz for *this* hunt.
Joe!
I'm to'ing and fro'ing. Waiting on emails and playing 3D Ultra Pinball "Creep Night." Kind'a vegging and taking it easy. Waiting fur time to subQ Hattie...
Try o'taste o'the Rooster Sauce, MJ! You'll SWEAR it has tommy-toes, but there isn't nary o'one in there. Just red chiles and garlic. Ittiz great on everything: mac & jeeze, mashed potatoes, chicken - you name it!
BTW . . . I say Marty in the most affectionate way. If you remember, I have two of them. Dad and Bro.
Speaking of bro, he was just devastated over the game yesterday. But I can't go there, because this izn't the Football board. Let's suffice it to say . . . . he's crushed.
Okay, Cooler-buds, I've gotta run. Need to do some domestic stuff here (laundry), so I'll catch up with you later.
Green - It was in Newell - and as I recall, I thought so very early. I think someone around these partz was reading way too much into clues way too early! LOL!!!
It was MOVED! All the clues fit... Well, untill the 7th - MAYBE. I didn't have time to nail *that* one!
I mean, come on! How would it look if the ONLY person digging in Phalen (I was there way before Allison!) found it? And to top it off, it was green - the most clueless of clueless - and a memeber o'The Crew?
So, naturally (SHEESH! Plain as the nose on your face!) they moved it!
mj...the medallion won't be immediately near one of the statues. with the cold weather we all crave so much, and the statues natural fragility as demonstrated last summer, it all adds up to broken snoopys. now, once the permanent bronze monument is put into place, i'd consider that to be a valid hiding place.
besides, as i said in an earlier post, there are simply too few of them on public land (i.e. parks) in saint paul. i am sure that we can expect at least one reference to one of them, though. (then again, i was saying on friday the vikes were gonna lose by 3 :-).
Ares - I don't think they would hide the medallion in the immediate vicinity of a snoopy, but I believe that if you know where they are or were, if they show up in a clue, that will help get you into the direction of the right park.
Oh, yeah....there's not a TON of light out there, but they are lit. Mostly, we're just driving past getting the *feel* of them back. Mounds is easy, because it's across the street, but Phalen, Battle Creek, Highland, - basically all the rest of the parks in the city - I need a good refresher on...
The Pioneer Planet had a listing of all 101 of 'em earlier this year. I bet if you looked in the archives for snoopy, you'd find the list. I printed it out when it first showed up. I also have today's more current list.
I would LOVE to be able to cruise on my lunch - and I bet I'd be a *lot* more productive in the afternoon, too! LOL! I work in the southern burbs, though - so I'll have to stick to little jaunts in the evening for now.
mom - i'm fortunate enough to work up in roseville. i get to hit a lot of the western parks. and it does do something for your afternoon productivity (doesn't help that i don't fully wake up until a half-hour before i take off for lunch though :).
I've done a bit of slogging, and I have a plan according to green's theory of movement. We make sure NONE of us are at the same park on lets say the 4th night, we will all be alone, then on the next night we all go to Conway, so... naturally they will move the medallion to Conway, and we will be the first ones there!!!!!!!
as for the snoopys- I don't think they will use any of them directly. maybe a reference to a street name or something. or maybe what the medallion is in. there isn't an earmuff snoopy is there????
Green! Thanks for the sauce. LuLu and the three sisters are here. So I'm gonna wait to do the "taste-test" till the sisters are gone. I don't want to go teary-eyed in front of them!

Tiny, get the 10-day flu! I've heard ittiz REALLY bad this year! Only cure izz digging! Then you can make it up more!
And a palidrome (sp?) Joe! for green!
Green--sorry--but a palindrome is something that reads the same forward as backwards. 9339 is a palindrome. 9393 has many interesting properties, but not that one! Not trying to nitpick--just working the brain.
Kellogg park had two snoopys! Mears had at least one, Rice had at least one--remember the snoopy cam on the Web?

Good Evening!

Cackling Green? Me? Cackling? I've been cackling for a year!!! LOL!!!
MJ - Over the hill from Pearson's (St. Paul) - is Highland.
Joe!
Hiya Ter!
Just looking at the past hiding places, and yep, I think the name of the park just north of 7th St is Highland Park.
You know, this would be a cool way to remember Chas. Hiding the medallion around a Snoopy.
Where ever it is, we'll find it!
You betcha we will! It's our year. Not a doubt!
Just now saw your post Ter!
Power-posting for the Joe, eh! Good one!!!
I darn near even missed seeing it. These eyes aren't as young as they used to be.
I was checking out past hiding places too. It's been so long since it's been Phalen. I wonder...
I forget that on this board, you hafta hit "previous" so you don't miss out on the postings.
I'm gonna be one sorry girl when the board *really* gets hopping!
I did like it better when there was a recent button on the bottom of the page so you could the latest posts and not miss anything.
Hmmmm . . . 1993 hidden in a diaper. I wonder if it looked like it was "used" and nobuddy wanted to check it out . . . . then someone had some courage, plugged their nose and looked inside! LOLOLOL!
It was an unused one on a small triangle of land between two driveways out at Hidden Falls. I don't think anyone had thought to dig there - but we drove by it several times that year.
LuLu is beckoning. They had Marty's day off today. I'm thinking she need to get stuff ready for tomorrow. I'll be back in a few.
They changed the name o'the thread! I like it! Shows ittz for *this* hunt.
Joe!

Hay, Ter!
Thanks for the heads-up, Ladies, on the recent. I'da missed a whole dang conversation!
Terry, would you LISTEN to me????!!! The Med CANNOT be in Phalen this year! It was LAST YEAR!!! It wuz and they moved it. And I've proof!
Also, that WAS a GREAT Joe!, Terry!!! Nice catch!
BTW . . . I say Marty in the most affectionate way. If you remember, I have two of them. Dad and Bro.
Speaking of bro, he was just devastated over the game yesterday. But I can't go there, because this izn't the Football board. Let's suffice it to say . . . . he's crushed.

Green - It was in Newell - and as I recall, I thought so very early. I think someone around these partz was reading way too much into clues way too early! LOL!!!
But this is a new hunt with new clues and new frustrations. I wish it would hurry up and get here!
It was MOVED! All the clues fit... Well, untill the 7th - MAYBE. I didn't have time to nail *that* one!
I mean, come on! How would it look if the ONLY person digging in Phalen (I was there way before Allison!) found it? And to top it off, it was green - the most clueless of clueless - and a memeber o'The Crew?
So, naturally (SHEESH! Plain as the nose on your face!) they moved it!
And that's my story and I'm sticking with it.
If it makes you feel better Green, that's okay.
Just think though - if it's at Phalen this year, you'll be all set! You had that park all figured out.
Oh. I never thought o'that.
Nah. Knowing me and how clueless I am... I'll be in Newell!!!
RISLOLPMSS!!!!
But it won't be in Newell!!!
Now, we don't know that. The clues haven't come out!
But you're rite. Ittiz gonna be at Battle Creek!
Joe!
I like Mounds and Phalen this year myself.
Hello?
Hi Mom!
We were out *cruising* this evening. I felt like a little kid, asking Dad, "Can we drive past this park now?"
mj...the medallion won't be immediately near one of the statues. with the cold weather we all crave so much, and the statues natural fragility as demonstrated last summer, it all adds up to broken snoopys. now, once the permanent bronze monument is put into place, i'd consider that to be a valid hiding place.
besides, as i said in an earlier post, there are simply too few of them on public land (i.e. parks) in saint paul. i am sure that we can expect at least one reference to one of them, though. (then again, i was saying on friday the vikes were gonna lose by 3 :-).
jason
hey, mom, how much is actually visible right now? i'd imagine that most of the parks are rather unlit.
Cruising for parks is fun!
Ares - I don't think they would hide the medallion in the immediate vicinity of a snoopy, but I believe that if you know where they are or were, if they show up in a clue, that will help get you into the direction of the right park.
Oh, yeah....there's not a TON of light out there, but they are lit. Mostly, we're just driving past getting the *feel* of them back. Mounds is easy, because it's across the street, but Phalen, Battle Creek, Highland, - basically all the rest of the parks in the city - I need a good refresher on...
ter - that's what i was thinking. now where did i put those pictures i took along with their original locations?
park-cruising is definitely fun. i've been devoting my lunch break for the past week to it, and making notes in the "guide".
The Pioneer Planet had a listing of all 101 of 'em earlier this year. I bet if you looked in the archives for snoopy, you'd find the list. I printed it out when it first showed up. I also have today's more current list.
I would LOVE to be able to cruise on my lunch - and I bet I'd be a *lot* more productive in the afternoon, too! LOL! I work in the southern burbs, though - so I'll have to stick to little jaunts in the evening for now.
ter - i've got the list printed somewhere. i just shuffled it around across my desk the other day (the final list is at "http://www.pioneerplanet.com/archive/snoopymap/snoopyindex.html"). sorry for not posting this as a link; html isn't working :-(.
mom - i'm fortunate enough to work up in roseville. i get to hit a lot of the western parks. and it does do something for your afternoon productivity (doesn't help that i don't fully wake up until a half-hour before i take off for lunch though :).
jason
Doesn't look like any html is working here yet.
I can scope out some of the Midway area parks during a lunch break - but I don't often do that.
I've done a bit of slogging, and I have a plan according to green's theory of movement. We make sure NONE of us are at the same park on lets say the 4th night, we will all be alone, then on the next night we all go to Conway, so... naturally they will move the medallion to Conway, and we will be the first ones there!!!!!!!
Tim - That's a cute idea. It made me chuckle.
well, it has it's kinks, but we can make it happen!!!
lol tim
as for the snoopys- I don't think they will use any of them directly. maybe a reference to a street name or something. or maybe what the medallion is in. there isn't an earmuff snoopy is there????
No Tim. There is no earmuffs snoopy. Geez!
