Greg - I'm doing an email to you...but roughly speaking...30? There was some coming and going...and three finders! Bill from the Victoria and 35E find. The man who found it in Mears Park in the Bull Durham bag under the bench and the Davouli's from the Newell find last year.
I like this clue...i think that it tells us more than we think...2 major clues in it....."good luck" deal is suposta throw us for a loop......i have a feeling this hunt wont see past the eighth clue unless the beat around the bush for a few clues....
I am very excited to see tomorrows clue....i hope it has to do with somthing off in the distance from the park.....this clue i feel gives us a huge hint towards the park....now it just has to narrow the area down and buy time....
I am not sure yet about new or old park. Most folks are leaning toward old park. I do like the bold, gold, beloved and June leading toward wedding or something along those lines.
I think by taking bold, gold and june...and getting weeding is a bit far streched.....this hunt isnt going to have anything to do with a weeding.....june is a reference to somthing else in time....
I think it is just extra words in there to get us running like chickens with our heads cut off....they dont want this thing found at 5 or 6 this year...last year people knew and were swarming newell after 3....stay focused and we will find this sucker
Thanks to everybody at McGoverns for being so friendly and making us feel welcome. We had a great time! We have a whole different picture of the cooler crew now that there are faces to go with the names.
I like hearing what everyone else has to say about all the words and the possible meanings.
My take on this first clue...It's in St. Paul - but it didn't say park. The clue writer is hoping for a longer hunt. May be a new (be bold=out of the box?) treasure sight. Time will tell though.
Prepare for a much tougher duel sounds like clues2-8 will be pretty repetative about the neiborhood the park is in. Sounds like a big park also Phalen....
Go through the cold and prepare to be bold Or you won't find the secret item Our beloved St. Paul is the place for gold Dig elsewhere and you'll search ad infinitum Last year at Newell our fate was most cruel Unfortunately the game ended too soon Come now and prepare for a much tougher duel Keep on your toes or you'll hunt until June
I think prepare to be bold and staying on your toes means having to throw out some conventional logic, and since they didn't say it was in a park, I'm really starting to believe its really not in a park. They want the hunt to last longer, the second stanza is quite clear about that. With our treasure hunters guides and lists of parks and all the other resources we have for studying parks, what better way to throw hunters off the trail this year than to not use a park? I think the duel refers to the hunters vs. the clue writer. I also suspect a bit right now that the clues may be tougher this year too, but if you crack them perhaps they'll be more precise in guiding you to the medallion? I say that because of the last line, that maybe its in an obscure hiding place that you wouldn't find accidentally, and thus could hunt until June unless you're on your toes (i.e. clever in solving the clues). That's what I get from this so far, though its possible there's something very obscure and secret in it too somewhere.
LOL!!!! Marley, I'm SURE you DO have a "whole different picture" o'The Crew!!! And ittiz not pretty! ROFLOLPMP!!!!
So glad you two made it, and Annette, and Lullabell (sp?)
Tiny, feel free to smack me upside the head for not recognizing your name. But your face, I knew I KNEW you! I talked to you and 'Lectric Dave LOTS at "The Pity Party"!!!
This was the bestest EVER Pre-Dig Gig!!! Those that are new just this year and those that are in their second year... HOLY CROW!!! Old hands at not only noodling, but fitting right in. Any stranger (you know, folks more stranger'un us...) would never EVER have known that all o'us hadn't know each udder for years and years.
Ittiz so nice to see good people trust and believe in others - and themselves - and have a good time and enjoy a shared, common interest no matter their ages and backgrounds.
Pops, you win the award for the Best Pops In The World. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing Timmers. He's the best kid... Even if he can upstage me with his wise-acre mouth!!! LOL!!!
STALLION!!! You've been gone too long! I've mizzed you!!! SO GLAD you came, and brought Home Boy. I think he's gonna fit right in. Nice guy. Your's truly will have wunnerful eats... My Chile Cheeze Dip, Stall....
MJ, you love. Thanks for the accolades, but gosh. I was only doing what the producer and/or filmer asked me to. I wasn't hosting anything - we all hosted: It wuz OUR party!!! You were every bit an Ambassador o'The Crew as I was, or Kelly, or Annette, or Steven (you know, that author guy???), or Ter, or Dad. Or any o'us.
Jake... *I* THINK it was Colonel Mustard in the Library with Miss Scarlet. That's my final answer after I buy a vowel. You didn't have ONE, NOT ONE, clue that a totally clueless and in the dark purrson could get!!! You are to bee commended for inviting The Finders that you did!!! THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! What a brilliant idea!
My better judgement says this first clue says St paul and thats it but....I like to dig each night, Gotta get into the swing of it ya know. Gonna dig Phalen because its closer to my house.
Sorry I missed the party, we drove to it, but the kids were not in the mood so we went to play with trains instead, and of course a quick drive through Como.1 digger was there 6 hrs before the first clue??
How many were in attendance at McGovern's? Roughly.
Greg - I'm doing an email to you...but roughly speaking...30? There was some coming and going...and three finders! Bill from the Victoria and 35E find. The man who found it in Mears Park in the Bull Durham bag under the bench and the Davouli's from the Newell find last year.
I clicked the link and couldn't find the story. Can you help?
DDY - They changed that way that was from just a few minutes ago. Hold on....I'll find it.
OK.
DDY - Thanks for making the reservations and being there first thing! You are super!!!
Here's the url for the story.... http://www.pioneerplanet.com/wintercarnival/033721.htm
Thanks, Terry! Good story! And glad I could help out a little!
You must have missed the post, Greg. About 30 or maybe 35. Hard to say for sure with all the comings and goings...but I think that's fairly accurate.
Greg: Read message 10340!
I'm gone. Will read more posts in the a.m. Glad it went so well.
Greg: I still have Cooler Crew pictures on my web page and you're free to use them if you like.
But first a rare Joe.
Rare joe?
I like this clue...i think that it tells us more than we think...2 major clues in it....."good luck" deal is suposta throw us for a loop......i have a feeling this hunt wont see past the eighth clue unless the beat around the bush for a few clues....
hey hehe tougher than you will see!! check it out the drinks are on me
Im glad i took time off this year from work....its going to get intense come wends or thurs.....
What are the early ideas?
Hey, don't you all ever sleep? It was great meeting everyone tonight. Good luck.
27 - bold, gold, beloved June = wedding bold = new park
Nope, it is in an old, big park....i feel this clue could have been a #3 or #4 clue.....JUNE has somthing to do with it!!
I am very excited to see tomorrows clue....i hope it has to do with somthing off in the distance from the park.....this clue i feel gives us a huge hint towards the park....now it just has to narrow the area down and buy time....
I am not sure yet about new or old park. Most folks are leaning toward old park. I do like the bold, gold, beloved and June leading toward wedding or something along those lines.
I think this will be a hard year, because last year was not. However, this clue has so much potential.
June is the biggest month for weddings, isn't it ? beloved, gold ?
I think by taking bold, gold and june...and getting weeding is a bit far streched.....this hunt isnt going to have anything to do with a weeding.....june is a reference to somthing else in time....
Did Terry V and green leave for the night?
our beloved st. paul ? saint paul ?
I'm yust checking in after slogging...
I'll be bock... Gotta read about The Greatest Web Master EVER!
Bock in a bit...
I think it is just extra words in there to get us running like chickens with our heads cut off....they dont want this thing found at 5 or 6 this year...last year people knew and were swarming newell after 3....stay focused and we will find this sucker
Could keep on your toes mean it is hidden in a shoe?? I think beloved could a maeniful word// but what does it mean???
Thanks to everybody at McGoverns for being so friendly and making us feel welcome. We had a great time! We have a whole different picture of the cooler crew now that there are faces to go with the names.
I'm still here! Hi Green! Hi Marley - and Kelly is it? I'm soooo bad with names.
Just sent an email to our webmaster. My count actually came to 42 - and I may have missed a few. It was soooo wonderful meeting everyone!!!
Yes Terry, Kelly it is. Thanx
What else is everyone noodleing about with the first clue?
Go through the cold = snow maze??.
tougher duel = archery range?? or hockey.
hunt until June = I am over analyzing and thats when they will let me out of the nut house??
June = possible street name???
attatched to a good luck charm ofsome sort? Horseshoe, rabbits foot, ???
I like hearing what everyone else has to say about all the words and the possible meanings.

Prepare for a much tougher duel sounds like clues2-8 will be pretty repetative about the neiborhood the park is in. Sounds like a big park also Phalen....
There is a Juniper Ln in Highland park
Phalen is certainly long overdue and it's a big park...if it's in a park at all.

It's almost 3AM!! I'm headed for the sheets now!!!
Goodnight and SCMDs to coolerheads everywhere!
This year - coolerheads will prevail!!!!
clue 1 its in st paul clue 2 its in a park clue 3 stay of golf course think there stretching the clues out to make it 15 clues instead of 12
My better judgement says this first clue says St paul and thats it but....I like to dig each night, Gotta get into the swing of it ya know. Gonna dig Phalen because its closer to my house.
Sorry I missed the party, we drove to it, but the kids were not in the mood so we went to play with trains instead, and of course a quick drive through Como.1 digger was there 6 hrs before the first clue??
A friend of mine made the suggestion that not finding it until June might mean its somewhere where the snow or ice might stay until June?
Nite, Ter! Thanks for the GREEN lighter! SCDs to you!!!
New Daddy, mizzed you... But hope to see you and yours, not only out in the parks digging, but at The Re-Hash Bash????
Filming will be going on Tues nite at McGovern's with the crews from NY. But I don't know what time yet...
Otay... WHO WAS THE WISENHIEMMER THAT PUT "THE MED" IN MY COAT POCKET??? Has to be one o'the following:
Mom, Dad, Inks, Ter, or EAGS... If I 'member correctly, it was given to her by Ittiz...
HOW COULD YOU PART WITH SUCH A RELIC????????
Everbuddy's gotta be a wise-ass... ROFLOLPMP!!!
two medalions this year???
goodnight to all see you at phalen lol
