Last year the medallion was in Como. Not Newell! Hehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!
I'm thinking it may be in some small more obscure park this year. Langford or the likes? There's Dunning...and that's all brand spanking new. MLK maybe??
Oh Terry! Let's not even get into the Mocha Cocoa debate!LOL!
Seriously,MLK is not ideal for all sorts of reasons,main one bein that it's a rec center and bunch of schools! And now with security the way it is.....there ain't no way!
Well, the website doesn't look as cool as I thought it would, oh well! Scribe, I would have to agree with you on MLK. I did a cost/benefit analysis of what it would cost to build the tree forts: Our time and money for all 67 of them. ANd I figure, we would have to win the hunt twice to cover the cost. Therefore, I think a new plan is necessary. Lets just shadow every person that leaves the PP.
I'm on it Rushmore! I got my black cape and night vision goggles all ready!
Unless.....the mighty PP has a covert op outside their own vicinity? Perhaps the one who hides it is...::i GASP::....from the other side of the river??
My GPS thingamabobber is taking up a lot of my 'spare' time...but it's really a trip...oops, space captain word. Anyway, I'm getting out to parks I never knew existed, and exploring ones that I never had. Gotta start going the Saint Paul way tho, could have extra benefits early next year.
I think my energies would be better spent assigning people to forts and making a decision as to when people are deployed to the forts (I am a hunt strategy expert) although I enjoy engineering as a hobby......... so you never know!!!
East side, west side, south side or north....it dont matter...it could even be maplewood or white bear...but you can bet all yer cash, THE WICKED CLOWNS will once again, be there.
Well, I just got home from work and have nothing to do on Thanksgiving! So I am going to go give thanks to the hunt by visiting some non-St.Paul Parks!!! Sad, isn't it! (-:
non saint paul parks!! hogwash! anywho, um, um, still working on inveting perfect treasure tool, ideas still at 0, cuz flame thrower just too darn dangerious.
Wright Winger, I would be game to get together to try and invent a tool....... (seriously) And the funny thing is I have the papers to apply for a patent. If you are serious let me know.
Im fully serious, but i just havent figured out what a tool needs to do. at the moment i like to carry different tools depending upon how light, or think the snow is. perfect tool needs to be able to straight into the groud vertically, yet be able to have some hoe action going on, and maybe shovel as well. of course, flames shoot out to melt snow is probally an attachment we could sell to people later. but i actually am serious about trying to come up with something, just nothing usefull enters mind.
Alright everyone, the first major snowfall of the season is tomorrow!! What park is everyone going to? What shift are you going to take? LESS than TWO months aways!!!! Must plan ahead!!
You know, it never fails, whenever there is a possibility for somekind of a Joe, I am always right after it, I cannot seem to achieve that elusive Joe!!
The beast lay dormant while the ground lay bare. Thoughts raced deep within the mind. The passion was building, growing. The heavens released its snowy blanket upon the land, and the beast was awoken. The beast knows its prey will soon come. That medallion will be out there, oh yes. Soon, it will be time to find it....
Hey all, I've been meaning to check on everyone here, but my life has been kind of crazy since the hunt. Hope all the coolerheads are well, and that we will prevail this year :)
boo phalen, do we have to over this again!!!! lol
oh Green....yoo hoooooooo the green genius?!?!?

An unthinkable thought!

Thats exactly what I'm sayin Ian!
Hey Ian.
Saw your geocache page. You'll have to tell me more about that sometime. My buddy has a GPS thingamabobber I could borrow.
I'd like to commend you on your spelling of "thingamabobber"
Very nice!:)
um what exactly is a thingamambobber?
and mornin sam :)
Morning Ralph
Don't tell me you've never heard of a thingamabobber?
My GPS thingamabobber is taking up a lot of my 'spare' time...but it's really a trip...oops, space captain word. Anyway, I'm getting out to parks I never knew existed, and exploring ones that I never had. Gotta start going the Saint Paul way tho, could have extra benefits early next year.
are they related to these things i've heard called thingamajigs?
Very similiar, Ares.
Only 1,645 hours and 14 minutes to the start of the next Saint Paul Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt...........
are they related to these things i've heard called thingamajigs?
Yes, but that term is not politically correct....
wow jake, your just full of little details, i nominate you to design most of the tree forts
I second that nomination!
I think my energies would be better spent assigning people to forts and making a decision as to when people are deployed to the forts (I am a hunt strategy expert) although I enjoy engineering as a hobby......... so you never know!!!
see i love to build, and skip the engineering part! lol
hmm, maybe if we just had a camera at every park, linked to one central tree fort, we could cut down on man power, but up on cost.
Hi All, It sure is great to see some many diggers still posting. It looks like the hunt will start Jan 20th is this correct??
Don't limit your thinking to just St. Paul. It is due to be somewhere else, White Bear Lake would be close...
Its getting colder and that means one thing THE HUNT WILL SOON BE ON!!
booo white bear lake.
(nothing against WBL, just booing the treasure being their)
East side, west side, south side or north....it dont matter...it could even be maplewood or white bear...but you can bet all yer cash, THE WICKED CLOWNS will once again, be there.
"""Ian - 12:25am Nov 7, 2001 CST (#28071 of 28116) It's none of my business what you think of me. Saint Paul
40 rec centers, 9 parks
Ramsey County

etc. etc. etc."""

Yeah, it might start someone on FIRE, or burn their jacket or something.
yeah EXACTLY, i hate when that happens,

Wright Winger, email me
but i have no ideas!!
Alright everyone, the first major snowfall of the season is tomorrow!! What park is everyone going to? What shift are you going to take? LESS than TWO months aways!!!! Must plan ahead!!
just curious, guys? how crazy are we for planning this far in advance?
nevermind, i already know the answer :)
Ares: I'd say we're all pretty darn crazy for being this excited 2 months out, but hey, what else is there to look forward to during the winter?
You know, it never fails, whenever there is a possibility for somekind of a Joe, I am always right after it, I cannot seem to achieve that elusive Joe!!
and which joe were you looking for, rush. but you do have a point. i mean we can't even count on the vikings for entertainment these days.
Hey Ares. Did you know you posted that post at exactly 11:11?
That's what I like to call "Happy Minute"?
Oh......Morning Sam
nice tagline jt and no i didn't notice it.
Ian..... where can I find that board from the 98 hunt?????
Jake, I took it down. I didn't think there was any more interest. You can download it in a zip file at:
