How are you doing buddy? I got a friend who hasnt hunted in ages, and now is going become my hunting partner this year. He is interested in a guide of his own...Where are they available this year? Can we stop by and pick one up from you like I did last year? Let me know. Take care.
Ok, I've got it. Its in the fountain at Rice Park.
Go through the cold (the ice sculptures)
and prepare to be bold (climb over the fence around the fountain)
Or you won't find the secret item (whatever it is attached to)
Our beloved St. Paul is the place for gold (Rice Park is full of golden lights).
Dig elsewhere and you'll search ad infinitum (Don't dig outside of St. Paul)
Last year at Newell our fate was most cruel Unfortunately the game ended too soon Come now and prepare for a much tougher duel (dueling with swords is FENCING)
Keep on your toes or you'll hunt until June (you'll have to be on your toes as you climb over that fence, not to mention that you might have to escape the cops as well to avoid ending up in jail until June).
Regarding your 2nd line there Jake, even if you believe in the power of psychics, they're still not right all the time. Even the most famous ones make a lot of wrong predictions. Its a very inexact thing, even for those who claim to be proficient at it.
I hope your thoughts are once again a joke, allison :). we wouldn't want mom to cancel the hunt because we destroyed a fence :). ironically, though you matched everything.
still, all the analysis we've done is guaranteed to be too much. mom's not gonna give that much away this early.
I seem to recall an old legend my grade school teacher told me about.
You see,back in the day there was a very famous ballerina that fell in love with a pirate.They would sneak away at Como Park. One day the ballerinas ex boyfriend that was a great fencer caught them and challenged the pirate to a duel.It happened right there in the frog pond.
What??? The frog pond was the only part I liked!!! Why I've dug up that frckin frackin thing so many frickin frackin times it's got to be there one of these years!
Yes, all my theories so far have been jokes. I think all its really telling us is that the thing is not in a park (Capitol Mall, Rec Center, somewhere else?) and possibly that the clues might be harder, but maybe more precise as you won't find it without first solving the clues. Maybe.
you know what the phrase "see ya at the frog pond means", right? one day, it'll be there by sheer accident. it'll probably happen the year the vikings make it to the super bowl by accident :).
i've got to agree with you allison, and even if it is in a park, i'm willing to bet it'll be at one of the big three with a golf course, since we weren't warned to stay off a course (or even away from one).
You gots mail, Guide.
sorry verde, I was off on the instant messenger for a bit with medHunter. How will you find the treasure if you keep losing my book?
Hay! Look, smartie! I FOUND it this time! So I am getting better! LOL!!!
do I need to download something from that, verde?
No. That's my stationary. Ignore it.
Will do. So what about Webster ....?
Hey Steve,
How are you doing buddy? I got a friend who hasnt hunted in ages, and now is going become my hunting partner this year. He is interested in a guide of his own...Where are they available this year? Can we stop by and pick one up from you like I did last year? Let me know. Take care.
Who were those guys?
Master...I moved, send me an e-mail. Green...I don't know, are you getting psychic messages from the first clue?
I'm off for a while.
Yeah. As usual. The aliens are speaking only to me...
I'm gonna go eat while I can still drive.
You can bet I'll Bee bock!
Coolerheads WILL prevail!
Hi, Green!

Allison are you still there?
Mentally or physically?
Hi, Jake! Good stuff last night!
You heard it from me first, the medallion is in a treasure chest!!! Read the clue it makes perfect sense!
Aye, that it does.
That is the only thing this clue is telling us.
Regarding your 2nd line there Jake, even if you believe in the power of psychics, they're still not right all the time. Even the most famous ones make a lot of wrong predictions. Its a very inexact thing, even for those who claim to be proficient at it.
Hi coolerheads...ready for another year! Sorry to have missed the prehunt bash. Hope it was fun. Looking forward the afterhunt potluck.
We're in Hinckley now so it will be more of challenge to get a chance to 'dig'. We'll be reading your posts.
I swear Allison you are more of a smart aleck than I am!!!LOLOLOL!!!
Jakey,I still say OUR team won last night! Those rules didn't say ANYTHING about high score winning!:)
A big treasure chest or a small one? Perhaps something that by in large looks like a treasure chest?
Gee scribe, is that possible? hehe
Well not entirely,I mean i don't think you would just post stuff just to yank people around............:)
Didja see my theory on the fencing pirate ballerinas? I think I'm onto somethin.
Well, inside the fence area at Rice was a statue that looked like she was almost doing ballet, but now its gone, perhaps abducted by pirates?

now we know where you're at, scribe :).
I am here to share my wisdom with everyone my dear Ares!:)
and a convincing tale it was, scribe, right up until the frog pond :)
joe!

That's this year! RIGHT? RIGHT?
I am NOT a football enthusiast..........LOL
i've got to agree with you allison, and even if it is in a park, i'm willing to bet it'll be at one of the big three with a golf course, since we weren't warned to stay off a course (or even away from one).
Maybe its on a golf course that's not in a park!
it would have to be on one that was public land, though :)
I'll agree with you seriously there, Ares. Highland? The show "Highlanders" they always have some sort of duel goin on.
AND they (Highlanders) are supposed to live to infinitum.
How am I doin here?:)
Keep on your toes or you'll hunt until June
Its on Tulip St.
LOLOLOL Allison!!
now that, scribe, is an idea. i'm still kinda partial to it being in como, highland, or phalen. one of 'em is due. especially phalen.
Yeah but didja like the Highlander tie in??
It'd be kinda funny if I'm right!
and don't forget, in the end there can be only one (finder).
i'd be laughing my tail off if it were correct.
THERE YOU GO!!!! I AM right!!!!! And if I recall you have to chop their heads off!LOLOL!
you can tell us to shut up any time allison :).
