Welcome and nice link.

You don't happen to teach in WBL and have the kids watch "No time for cold feet"?

me2 used that whole line back in her hunt at orchard in 2004:

/comment/462829#comment-462829

now, as for the rumor. after that hunt sue was down at the northfield historical society. they have the bones that were sunk in the lake. unfortunately they weren't charlie's bones, at least not according to the nhs, but that is the common story that his bones were in the lake to be bleached.

I'd like to propose that this clue could be about Larry Ho. In 1919 a contemporary wrote about him, "Fearless in civic betterment, he is the despair and terror of the riff raff of politicians, though himself an almost eerily shrewd politician in the highest sense," which I think would qualify as giving them fits. Then in 1920 he ran for governor and even with the Democratic nomination he came in a distant third behind the Republican and Independent candidates. That could qualify for "[after] he was mired in the pits."

Hey New Daddy, I work for the Technology Dept at the White Bear Lake School District and I am getting the whole department slowly interested in the hunt, so perhaps before long it will be part of the curriculum!

Me2 you are brillant. I just look over your old hunt. I am very impressed.

AW - great. All the kids in WBL Central middle school watch No time for cold feet in English class.

Kind of interesting how different clue 3 is from the first 2.

I think you are right when you said it's a "history" clue.

This could be the science part of it. Did a member of the team that created through s get no credit and is sad about it? At work can't dig too deep right now. Gotta go.

I want it to be in Como this year (and wanted it in the park pool but was much too late to get it). I missed out the last time in '03. Go Como!! :sillygrin:

pits could also mean it has a fire circle.

Heading out to Como./ hope to see you all there. It is only really cold when you breath.

any chance one of you moderators can keep up the Read only Clue Thread? It makes it easy to find all the clues...

Hello CC. Glad to see so many back on here and already diggin in. Anyone besides me believing that Como is a big red fish? Way to obvious a hint, and way to early for that (think Crosby last year). If so, expect one or two more vague Como references tonight and tomorrow night. Way too fun for the CW to point it where so many want it!

Downtown urban hide... Just saying :wink:

I agree, Mucky!

You and Grey Wolf, pointing to the Bus Stop. With all the snow, what are the odds it would be placed under the mailbox or newspaper box ala 1955....

Only 25 "downtown" boxes in 55101 Proceeding in a "Straight" line you outa be able to rule this hunch out in about an hour. :litesmile:

Muck, you are probably right, but... (Tangent theory time) what if Because of the large snow depth, the puck was hidden elevated or somewhere non snow affected? The CW could then have fun with people for awhile before giving away the detailed clues to a more obscure location and extended hunt.

I agree too, in some places (shade) it's closer to 2 ft deep. Como has a lot of ground to cover.

Although I would also agree that the first 5-6 fit Como every year. :pbpt:

I thought the same thing - the cadence from the first 2 seem different. Clue 3 seems more traditional to years past.

I'm pretty sure the cluewriter stole the Charlie Pitts info from Me2's hunt....I hope she gets the credit in the clue explaniations

Agreed. Enough snow for Como to be named right now.

According to the kids we ran into during the WBL hunt last summer NTFCF already is part of their studies. They talked about Jake and recognized us without saying a word. And they didn't even know a hunt was going on. :smile:

Funny. Although now that I think about it, I think I met English Teacher at Tony Schmidt. I seem to remember a teacher saying to me she showed the class the movie, but I didn't work in WBL at the time. So how surprised would they be to see one of the people in the movie working there?

We've always said they could title it the 2014 Como Hunt and go from there. Although many still wouldn't hunt there thinking it's a trick.

No, that wasn't me. But, it's great to hear that there are other English teachers out there! I've just finished my student teaching so my license is pending. :sillygrin: :sillygrin:

I am Thomas Puzak. You and I dug for a while together at Tony Schmidt up near the playground and down across the road, if memory serves correctly. I'd love to let into the crew on FB! Thanks.
