Hey, all coolerheads. Those that are going out tonight and want to be in the documentary, bring as many lanterns and other lighting objects for the digging.

Pryzm- Yeah, I was getting wood for the fire. I dunno if it will still be going when I'm back tonight though. Jordenn- Feeling a bit better, although I don't know that being out so much is good for my cold. I need a nap though.

I don't have a car either, so I know how it is, sure I can always take an MTC, but at Midnite you may get to the park (or may not) but how would you get back? I used to drive, but don't anymore....anyway, one could always get some sleep now, and wake up at midnite to do the digging, therefore you'd still be alert for work and school. I don't think I will get out there tonight myself.

Yeah, I probably got there after you left. The film crew got there shortly after I arrived.

Kids, soup then scooby snack... (I am assuming you are thinking the drink?) :)

Hey Kids - sounds like you are feeling better today. Good. I am not going out today unless the clue gives me the exact location. Tomorrow is looking good for me, unless the freezing rain gets too bad.

Annette B.

So the film crew are really out and about? Have they been just focusing on Como? or getting people in the different parks?

Annette, about the bus thing. I wouldn't want to take the bus that late either...it was just a suggestion. ;) Perhaps you could meet up with some one from the board. There are alot of nice folks on here, however, I'm sure you know....you always have to becareful!

ThoseMedallingKids

Jordenn- Nope, I don't drink :) Leela- Yeah, feeling better. I'll be back tonight, hoping that tonight's clue is a really good pinpointer. Annette- The crew is gonig to concentrate on Como as far as I can tell. They're at their hotel but will be at Como tonight.

Nope! Slogged for a bit when we got home and then slept til noon or something like that. Slogged a bit more and have been brainstorming and b. sing on the board and online alll day... what a life, huh? Now, I got the TV on too and watching the game... How about you??? P has to go to school tomorrow. If you are going out tonight or tomorrow, let me know. :)

pryzmsphere are you planning on going back out tonight.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 6:11 PM Permalink
Pryzmsphere

ONLY if the clue totally convinces me about the location. I have an early class...bummer!

Hello All..... Tried to watch the superbowl but I cant get my mind of this damn hunt... so I decided to skip watching it.

J - I will check back later when it gets near clue time to see if anyone is going out. Until then, I am staying put.

I have slogged on and off all day too. I did come to one possible link - the gates at Hamline and Midway were put up by the WPA in 1937. This was a FDR organization (man of mettle) and it dealt with the depression.

I know what you mean Phil! I've become obsessed!

Annette B.

Thanks all....I don't think I will be going out tonight after this clue. I still wonder whether Como is the right place or not...I still think Phalen has a shot, but no one will no until the next clue (or until it is found). I can't imagine digging in a large park like Como. I looked around at the Capitol Mall and couldn't figure out how anyone would start digging unless there was a very specific clue. Now if things shift to looking down here (downtown) then we may see you. I suppose one could always call a cab if they got real desperate and like me, don't have a car.

Hello all -

How is everyone this evening? How many were out hunting today?

I thought I would just do a drive by at Como, but I got the urge dig, so I spent some time out there with my dad and tried to figure out where the next clue might point us. Lots of people digging in lots of places. It was really funny to see where others thought it might be.

Annette B.

Well of course there is Wheelock Pkwy which runs into (links to) Phalen Drive where the entrance of the park is I see there is a Clear Ave in the park, but traveling the old way and riding around could just mean by a bike/pedestrian path, and it looks like there is one of those near the entrance. and the Gillette Hosp Bldg has been restore to be the MN Humanitiees Commission and I believe there is a Memory Hall there? I could be mistaken.
