and now I have finished slogging through all the recent posts since around midnight and the new clue, since the last time we chated...boy there are alot of post...you really rock..or should i say noodle....
Matt>> this is a cooler discussion!! you don't have to take sides, we're all supposed to be on the same side.....against the MED!! lol so why don't we just all try to get along
then i went back through the out line to mark the date when I first started the cooler last year. i have been in the hhunt for years...but only second year in the cooler....
I am not trying fix anything, nor am I trying to mandate the activity of others. I just can't say that I'm proud of this anymore.
There used to be thousands of hits on this board with people that marveled about what they saw, but didn't talk, they weren't really ready to comment... I believe there were something like a 10:1 unique hit:post ratio during the Cherokee Park search. People called me on my cell phone out of the blue, we'd talk for an hour. People ICQ'd me out of the blue, we'd talk for an hour.
I would not be surprised to see this board being used much less for the reasons I've stated above. When I first came to the cooler, I was welcomed with open arms. Now people are too busy shooting out their thoughtless posts to even notice when someone says hello. Don't even question it, since I've talked about this there have been at least 2 people paying attention *right now* that have agreed with me.
I am upset by the fact that people harangue me and tell me to leave when all I am doing is indeed pointing out a proven shortcoming of this forum.
Matt - I think you just have to take it or leave it. Good or bad, the board is evolving.
The one big difference I see this year is that folks don't slog much any more. If you don't slog, you keep posting the same stuff over and over. The folks who do slog, don't want to keep reading and posting the same stuff over and over, so they don't bother any longer.
Matt, Ninja, im "kinda" new here too, so I know how that goes, bro, thats why im hearin you out. man. So...whaddaya got to say? talk away man. what r yer ideas? what parx you lookin in or looked at yo?
"don't want to keep reading and posting the same stuff over and over, so they don't bother any longer."
That pretty much sums it up. I don't know how many people have asked "when does the next clue come out?". Or those that come in and say "So, what park is it hidden in". Like we'd tell em if we knew!
:-)
Anyway, like you said, take it or leave it. I understand both sides.
I am going to be hunting tonight at Como first, unless the clue points me elsewhere. I won't say exactly where... I will say that mcmurray is close, and that I'm avoiding the festivities like the plague.
Matt...I was for Como and I know there are many others in here for Como as well, but I am just stuck because the clues seem to fit anywhere one wants them to fit. I mean he haven't gotten ANY water clues, tree clues, or any location clues for that matter.
Good point about the fest. I just don't think that Ma press would want any of that disturbed. That could cause a lot of probs closer to the end of the hunt.
Orange balls are hanging across the river (circularly linking) at Hidden Falls which is west...which is near the river...which used to have a ferry stop to get to the Fort (off base) and was an old way of traveling...memory lane...history..Fort road used to be W 7th.....
StepDogg: You're right. :) The clues apply to my yard.
Anyone who wants to find something in a certain area will always be successful.... Especially with clues as vague as these. Highland still works, to a degree. :)
I believe tonight's clue will cause the frenzy.
The trick so far, as far as I'm concerned, is to look and see which are fitting the best, and which are fitting similar to the hunts of the past. www.coolercrew.com has clue listings for a barrel of hunts from the 1950s to today, and explanations for most of the recent ones. I study them every year, repeatedly. I look and see the patterns, I crunch the numbers. I solve the problems with *science*, as much as everyone hates it :) I nailed Cherokee, I nailed Conway.. with a combination of planning, *talking*, and crunching the data. I missed last year due to not being in the area at the time...
I will nail the park this year with the same tools :) And so far, Como seems to work the best, so far.
Hmm I missed a lot of excitment. Can we go along the no question is a stupid question lines? I'm just wondering, is there anywhere really that you can see leaves in the middle of the winter? Aren't they usually under snow?
THX: Tell Scribe that no, Prymzsphere has to work til 11 and will be home around 11:30 so we will be leaving shortly after she gets home. Leelabell gave me her cell #, so I will be calling her when we are ready to leave. You still going to Mc Murray or depending on the clue? Thanks!!! :)
DRINKS FOR ALL MY TREASURE BUDS? TELL 12:00
yeah!! there's nothin wrong w/ having a little fun while tryin to find the med, so why don't you just LAY OFF EVERYONE!!!
Hey Matt Are you going out tonight and if so where and why
DRINKS FOR ALL MY TREASURE BUDS? TELL 12:00

I aint got nothin but clown love for all the peeps up in here, it just gets kinda frustratin when I start feelin like I'm talkin to a wall.
Oh yeah, I've been in here for a few years under a ton of different names
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! IAN!!!! you shouldn't have done that!!! thought it was a site relating the med!!!

do any of the parks have to do with Vitamin C or Oranges?? i just saw a commercial with that song "put a smile on your face" like in clue 4
LOL! i'm out... CYA!
I agree with Violent, Matt...let's chat about some parks.
Jordenn - got it, go ahead and delete your post
I found the medallion!
And the Vikings will win the Superbowl tomorrow!
Wake me up again after the next clue Mildred.....
Hey everyone! Another couple hours at most til the clue.
PalinaJOE!
Thanks Lee!
:-)
THX - palindJoe - are you and Scribe going down to the PP - I think we are
Jordenn - sent the email
"don't want to keep reading and posting the same stuff over and over, so they don't bother any longer."

Yikes....I'm not sure I can last another couple hrs!
Yeah, we'll be there. I gotta wake Scribe from her nap now!
Bah, I posted a message and the board ate it. :(
I am going to be hunting tonight at Como first, unless the clue points me elsewhere. I won't say exactly where... I will say that mcmurray is close, and that I'm avoiding the festivities like the plague.
I gotta fly, but I'll be back in about an hour or so.
Hey Matt,
If you see the two people with white bandages on their coats say hello to us.
Lee,
What does that mean about the e-mail? Should I tell Scribe something?
Where are the people digging I already know aw is at aa but nobody else. Last night maybe a hundred where at como but not this evening.
Is anybody digging
Matt...I was for Como and I know there are many others in here for Como as well, but I am just stuck because the clues seem to fit anywhere one wants them to fit. I mean he haven't gotten ANY water clues, tree clues, or any location clues for that matter.
ok..see ya shag...good huntin' and when you come back give me some of your takes on the hunt so far.......
Good point about the fest. I just don't think that Ma press would want any of that disturbed. That could cause a lot of probs closer to the end of the hunt.
THX: Absolutely. I wear a white towel tied around my knee.
Orange balls are hanging across the river (circularly linking) at Hidden Falls which is west...which is near the river...which used to have a ferry stop to get to the Fort (off base) and was an old way of traveling...memory lane...history..Fort road used to be W 7th.....
awake and noodling
step, i'm still for como. mostly because of that old multiple-choice test rule: your first gut feeling is probably the right one.
was anyone in here out at Newell last night at around 2:00 am?
"THX: Absolutely. I wear a white towel tied around my knee."
Cool, I'll look for you as well.
Ares - And that's why I'm such a bad test taker...I ALWAYS change my answer!! :)
Violent - not me....did you go out there?
yup, me n Shaggy were out there, in makeup n everything...i was just wondering if anyone spotted us.
Matt: will probably have a white baseball hat on... say hi! "You Dig?" LOLOL :)
Jordenn, Scribe wants to know, you going to the PP tonight?
StepDogg: You're right. :) The clues apply to my yard.

"...is there anywhere really that you can see leaves in the middle of the winter? Aren't they usually under snow?"
That was the dumbest question I have ever heard!
Just kidding. :-)
matt i agree
