2013 - Cherokee Heights Park

LMFAO

 :wink:

attempt at scramble from old pp board

You may want to do some deactivate and retrieve tomorrow! I foresee a ton of "Yee Haw, I found the medallion.... Oh, shit, it's just a geocache"!

Thanks!

silt fencing? or marina fence or bluff fence or fence by freeway wash...thats a lot of fence

Something by the river. What nature does that gobbles up man's thrills is flood the park every spring.

Flood, erosion, tornado, fire.

Thanks BFG.

The first two lines seem to be referencing flooding.

erosion gobbles up Ians cache in the lair = mans silly frill

Thanks

Sounds like the clue is alluding to an old fence that's no longer there or maybe just really worn out and overrun by nature.

The question is does "Don't Fence Me In" confirm Crosby or is it just a red herring and we should pull something from the song, like Cottonwoods which are common in the area. To me it's down to Crosby, Harriet, and maybe Upper Landing.

what's the scramble pool up to? :wink:

OMG...its crosby...you could live down there a month without a gps and your lucky to stumble into 3 or 4 geocaches...theres hundreds (active and inactive)

Funny.... cuz we don't even get them here.. and we are in boonies now. We get everything BUT turkeys.

Nature does what nature will

And gobbles up mans silly frills.

"Don't fence me in" might be the song,

But spotting a fence won't lead you wrong.

Didn't someone say there was silt fencing up at Crosby from something they were doing over the summer? Or is that just the meth talking to me again?

There's an old fence between the Park and the Marina, at the river.

What's next? A nantucket sleigh ride reference?

//love it if it's actually at Crosby

yellow mashed rice would look like sandstone in the lair

I think I remember someone saying the fences are now down.

If it's not a herring, parking is going to be a nightmare! Limited space, and LONG hikes. Pack a lunch!

I think the Crosby thing is a Red Harring.

Interesting enough, when I googled Don't Fence Me In Bob Fletchers name came up at the Lyric person.

Bob Fletcher's house use to be right by Vadnais Lake, which is also by Oak Creek Park which I may add Rice Street isn't that far away.

During Last Crosby Hunt -

I dug up some old rotting fence posts in the grassy area near the "Yarrow" sign - towards the Shepherd road hillside - some damn big nails jutting out of them too - be careful if you wander around there

Use high tech gear= gps, look up online

mine? nope I don't see my avatar at all...

As sold as I am on Crosby... "Filled with red herrings, bluster and bluff.

Expect more reprise in this year's hunt".

Doth protest too much?

ya it can be done summer style it's called rock climbing then though

Crosby is a big area - don't expect anything specific location-wise for a week.

:sheepish:

is the cache there gone?

Just curious, which do you all lean towards:

1) It's obviously in Crosby, and they basically spelled it out for us because the park is so huge that they can still make this a fun long hunt even with most people hunting there.

Or

2) No matter how many Red Crosby's the CW hits you over the head with, you'll wager it's NOT in Crosby.

i'm goin #1 :sillygrin: - ph and wear warm clothes when you're out there, i guess it's pretty cold out

I still think NOT Crosby. Haven't decided where though...

You know what this clue reminds me of is that fenced off old bridge at Como Park behind the old trolley station.

Isn't the old bait shop at Harriet also overgrown and fenced off now?

Quite nice, slick!

I'm not really on the crosby bandwagon either.

I think it's a really good setup to get everyone out there. But they scream out crosby on the second clue, and the next 3 are pretty weak. If it was in the woods in crosby, they could scream crosby in every clue and still have a decently long hunt.

I'm thinking they toss a bone out there, to get people stuck on, then play a bunch of simple clues that can fit a lot of places. It'll probably be the same up through the weekend, then Monday's clue will be "hey morons, it's this park" (insert any random park other than crosby there).

#2. I've disliked Crosby from the start, and still do. But man, has the precedent really been set this high now for repeated and relentless red herrings?

Not only the two songs--the echos from the 2005 are strong-- too strong for me to remain confident despite my Crosby hating bones.

In literature, a red herring is a false clue that leads readers or characters towards a false conclusion.

Ripped from wiki google or somewhere... a good reminder

CW cramming Crosby down our throats... Songs, early anagrams, though a daunting park, something not right.

Likewise BC. The moment you incorporate the word "dog" and Upper and lower in any fashion........pack up the van- time to hunt battle creek. Done there, been that. My opinion.

sure enough whoever is posting the clues posted clue four wrong. Which ended up costing me 4 hours and thinking I have the right park. Someone needs to change it. thanks..... Treasure Hunt is not capitalized in the newspaper. :confused: :chagrin: :frown: :chagrin: :angry:

I so agree with you..Still not sold on Crosby..

I'm on board with Crosby I've wanted another Crosby hunt for a while now hope that isn't clouding my judgement

Well I swung by Crosby on my way home from work. At 1am there were 5 cars at the east end, 15 cars at the west end - parked at the marina because the gate was closed. Talked to a group of hunters - funny for people who are looking in -5, they sure had no clue. I talked them out of attempting to look on the hilly bluff. :eyeroll:

This has a lot of scientific data on soil/vegeation etc, but there a alot of cool photos and maps from long ago. Check out the aerial photo from 1940.
