Ok, time to stop lurking and say... no... I'll avoid the dreaded "beer greeting" that everyone is getting so tired of. Instead I'll say "salutations" to all and wish everyone good luck, but better luck to myself. You see I have to find it this year, folks-- Electric Duane has a wedding to pay for. My initial thoughts are large park and new restorations with St. Paul... maybe a snoopy tie-in or a "golden" theme since this would be the golden anniversary of this 2-weeks of self-induced insanity.
When hunting this street don't fall to the back. And let a hog guide the way. If you continue on along this track. A wreck will be one of the next things seen this day.
Leelabel was virtually right since my street and Energy Park drive are interchangable at the point I was contemplating namely Lexington & Energy Park. If you took the "Big Pig" from Midway along Energy Park Drive after passing Gabe's By The Park at Lexington, the road turns into Front(dont fall to the back). If you continue on Front you pass the HalfTime "wreck".
Festus only makes me think of Festivus, and neither have anything think to do with Marshall St., although the hunt might be as grueling as the "feats of strength"!!!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have lined up a few surprise guests for the pre-hunt shunt Saturday night! I think that you will all be excited and delighted when you see who shows up!!! Hope to see each and every one of you there!
Tim, Jake... Did you guys get the email I sent you on the Tourchlight Parade? I will have copies of the info Sat night at McGovern's.
I would post it here but, sadly, the last year has seen many mean, spiteful, sick, cruel folks posting. I was not comfortable putting that type of info out for all.
If you're a Digger - whether you lurk or not - and have a true heart and somehow can get to McGovern's or introduce yourself here, I'll be more than happy to somehow get the info into your hands. I am not trying to excude anyone, just trying to be cautious.
And if anyone I sent the info to feels this is an incorrect decision on my part, by all means, post the info here. I just don't want the responsibilty on my shoulders should there be not-so-nice repercussions.
Wow! Has it already been a year? Should we place bets to see whether or not it will be in Como this year? Sure could use some better clues than in 2000.
The Cooler Website is great. Thanks for getting it together. It looks like green was a driver.
Good Grief! Had to slog a long, long time to get to this point. Lots of fun clues - and I got the Marshall and the Dale one right away.
Bax-Man - Welcome to the cooler as a poster! Every year there are those that jump in after lurking for some time.
My way of dealing with clues and the discussions is to put out here what I'm thinking...no matter who's lurking or might be gathering ideas. I've done this long enough to realize that what I believe to be correct interpretation of a clue isn't what others believe. And if it gets someone to the right park ahead of me - more power to them. There is still lots of snow to move and there is much luck in digging in just the exact right spot. After 30 years of digging and noodling - this being the 31st dig Inks and I will be participating in - having someone else know what I'm thinking is no big deal. Ya still need to be lucky enough to put your shovel down in the right spot...and not put the darn thing back!
Ok, now we've got some people--went away to get some coffee. Wow, blogged through the puzzling from earlier today--I got Prince, Marshall, and Snelling, but didn't get the street I am looking at (Kellogg) good work guys and gals--it was fun and good practice.
marley - It has always been found. The first time it was at Newell, they did publish an extra clue because it was going so late to the deadline. That was when the hunt ended by midnight on Saturday - and the last clue was published in the earlier edition of the Sunday paper. To my knowledge, that's the closest it was to not being found - though the medallion was actually found not long before that last clue was released.
Well no correct answer while I was gone, so I'll just put this one out of it's misery! Here is what I was going for:
A hunter with good design--good design=plan (Marshall Plan)
Won't be late
Nor need a magistrate--magistrate=judge or more specifically justice (see #3) To find the correct sign
Same street:
As a mat preceeds a door--Preceeds a Matt (see #3)
It proceeds a john--Proceeds a John (Justice John Marshall)
So hurry if you have to go
Lest you wet your pants through good--Sounds like Thurgood (Justice Thurgood Marshall)
Last try:
A singer named Bob leads
The Hit-Parade with the song--Leads a parade=Marshall
Of a Lawman who shares his name--Bob Dylan=Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke
But not his title--title=Marshall Matt Dillon
It's a heck of a lot easier to write them than to solve them, oh I guess that's the whole point of the hunt, huh? :)

Yeah, i think everybody needs it this year................ To pay their gas bill!

JOE! (doing a Snoopy dance o'joy!)
send it the Alliway
Your right! Festus! :)
Thanks for the validation.
What's with the holdup after i post a message, or is there just no posting.
I guess i'm here alone.
I'm here... To'ing and fro'ing...
The alliway... Hhhuummm... I think that's one clue I got! HI!!!
I can't, I've not your email. Riv's gonna be hard to type. Maybe Allison can forward it to you? But you'll be at McGovern's Sat nite, won't you?
Probably not ? Me and the Hubby going out for his b-day.
Well, drop by afterwards. We'll be there 'til they kick us out. Ask Allison to send you the info from his club. Doesn't he have your email address?
Hippo Birdies Two Hubs! Is he a three-generation Digger, too? If that's the case, bet his Mom was royally honked off the year he was born!
Yeah, he's got it. Maybe stop by.
It's really hard when your partner does not share your passions. I'm a crazed contest player.

Or share a cooler with someone and pick the wrong side!!!!
Terry, is that you, MUFFIN!
Let the hunt begin i can't wait ..
HI all.
joe straight
Hi DDave!
hi all
hi Downtown Dave
Ok, now we've got some people--went away to get some coffee. Wow, blogged through the puzzling from earlier today--I got Prince, Marshall, and Snelling, but didn't get the street I am looking at (Kellogg) good work guys and gals--it was fun and good practice.
dave did you know of the existence of prince?
DDave - It's been quite awhile since I've been through the downtown area. Is the Salvation Army kettle light thingy still there on Kellogg?
Does anyone know if the medalion has ever NOT been found?
Ares--It's one of my bicycle shortcuts linking Downtown to the East Side. Short with little traffic.
Terry--the kettle is lit right now!
Scribe,
I'm thinking of a number between 1 & 10
Jake,
How's the racing going?
marley - It has always been found. The first time it was at Newell, they did publish an extra clue because it was going so late to the deadline. That was when the hunt ended by midnight on Saturday - and the last clue was published in the earlier edition of the Sunday paper.

The King and Queen have been crowned.
That must be why the wind out of the north is rather biting tonight.
