I'd rip open a steamy piece of runny dog crap if I seen it. I've heard too many would of- could of - should of stories not to. Besides what else you got going on. If I find a Coke can I'm excited.

Then again I'm married :)

Wow, what a lot of slogging, though I don't see much of anything convincing. I wonder if I can get the PP to make me the clue writer by threatening to tell everyone where it is this year and have the hunt end in 7 days again? At least I'm somewhat confident about where I think it is.

ha...you've all been noodling too long.

can you do something about the weather there in the next couple weeks?

Care to share Mr. A? I agree with the low level sloggin tonight.

Whew! - A lot to read but little to process

weim guy

exchange rates are a beautiful thing. :-)

haven't seen a lot of talk about one park. looks like it's still up in the air.

wonder if we're reading too much into these first clues given that pp probably wants to drag this out longer than last year.

I like to sit and noodle as much as the rest but i wonder if maybe they haven't even given us the park yet.

Well, I did promise to not spill the beans again this year, though I did post my theory on my club if you're a member of that. Basically though keep in mind that Clue #4 says East AND West, not OR. So perhaps the answer is a place where you have both, and there is such a park, and after having been there tonight, it seems to fit all the rest of the clues pretty well too, and I don't think you even need to stretch them to do so.

Well Ken A, I think we all know what the a stands fore in your name, so why didn't you just add the rest?? Something tells me that PIE has a new identity ken!!!

Still fits too many parks at this time for me, have some parks more favored than others, but just can't determine.

how do you guys check for new messages? my refresh is really slow. i keep hitting previous, then recent...loading the two pages is faster than refreshing the one.

Well there's always the chance you'll beat me to it since I won't be out until tomorrow night. Plus I hate digging. Mostly I just like to claim credit for being the first one to figure it out. :)

With 20 years and 50 pounds later, I don't dig as much as I used to either. Oh well, it stimulates the brain anyway

You have a point MM - Time to open another beer

been doing this a long time and i love it. use to sit by the press with tv in truck and wait for the next clue. when it got down to the nitty gritty they would just throw the pappers out on the street what a mad house!!! it was great!!!!!!

gee i wish all the cell phones & computers but the hunt will surive

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 2:56 AM Permalink
Clue Master

Survive at a different level is all. Other than the final 2 or 3 clues, I don't see a cell or lap top helping too much.

Clue Master

Looking back on many hunts I see the locusts go from one end of the park to the other depending on what the flavor (clue) of the day is. When it's all said and done, it's right in the middle of all those spots. Best advise is (and I know you didn't ask) is to find open snow and dig. Don't follow the puck like the Peewee's do in hockey if you know what I mean.
