KCOGRN, you asked earlier if anyone got the coordinates. Someone did. Maybe Dad? I forget who I was standing next to at the time. Ian? Mikey?

What a cute photo! Finder (s) from Treasure Hunt FB page:

"I hit it with the pick, but he had to finish it off with the spade," said Lynn Olson-Tuma of St. Paul, getting a smooch from husband Scot Tuma after finding the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion in Cherokee Park in St. Paul today.

Given the clue's definition of "east" in the 11th clue, basically the whole park was in play... :eyeroll:

Aren't you glad you introduced us to that place?

This spot that Im looking at on the ground is where the finders said they found it. It was not in the hole on the right side of the tree, but was on the left side of tree (south, or side towards overlook) only about 1 or 2 feet from tree.

(I was looking for the broken off peice after the find in this pic)

Mike is exactly right, I was looking for that piece as well. No luck.

Congrats to the finders and those that were there. At least I failed big, being shocked that is was not found at Irvin.

But made some new friends with the other crazy Irvin hunters.

I'm beginning to wonder if the cluewriter chipped a piece off before hiding it, thinking anyone that found it would probably use a tool to break the ice open, thinking they chipped it off in the process. Creates a nice little mystery doesn't it?

Plus, it's starting to be a tradition of having pucks mangled during a find, makes them look more.. real. I guess.

Cool video! How fun for the Coolers who were there to see it!

I'm going to download all the hunt videos tonight (before they start disappearing).

I'll have them up on the skydrive over the weekend. Just keep it on the down low so the Press doesn't get uptight.

You were at Irving Park? I thought you were at Lilydale. What about Suitcase? Where was she?

Nimrod and I were at Lilydale. New Daddy was at Irvine. Monica was at yet another park apparently.

I know. It was really more a shot at New Daddy who keeps spelling it wrong despite having been there for days! :pbpt:

I MUCH prefer this for discussion than Facebook. Facebook is a bit like chasing topics on the PP board. Nothing makes sense after awhile.

I'll be here since I'm not on Facebook.

Glad to hear that Allison. We would miss you here.

Would not be the hunt without you and your clock. Seriously.

So it's still 7pm at Joseph's tonight? Or have three other places been proposed since on Facebook? :litesmile:

Thanks for clarification.

I prefer this board too, but am afraid facebook is taking away from all the boards.

Can you post a link?! Please?

By the way, I'm looking at starting the Mock Hunt on Saturday, March 2nd.

It is at Joseph's at 7 as far as I'm aware. I know someone made reservations.

Thanks OT; that would have been easily missed! Looked like a chunk of ground.

What's up at Gabes tomorrow? Just another excuse to get together I assume? I won't be able to make Joesph's tonight, the wife still has someone a week overdue and Joesph's, much like Cherokee sadly is out of my allowed range.
