Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.
Why/how do the BACK buttons work on my directory of buttons?
If you didn't code it into the page, I assume the free server site does it automatically for directories like that.
What it's actually doing is using your history and going back one page.
Usually a back button contains an actual link back to the page but, in this instance it's simply reading your history and going back one page. Here's the HTML from your page.
Ian, what button you missin'? I'll keep my eye open for it downtown. Last summer I saw something really neat down there, but can't remember what it was I saw! (Must notta'been all that neat, I guess!) I stink it was a picture, 3-D, made outta like something... Feathers? I don't know. Was Way Cooler, but the price wasn't... :( So I passed on it...
Howdy, Marley!
whispered-------------> "Phalen, Phalen, Phalen!"
Gotta run up to Lem's for a fresh ham... Having neighors in tomorrow for Brie stuffed with Pesto; Salmon/Dill Pasta Salad; Honey Glazed Ham smoked on the smoker; Cheese Biscuits; Scalloped 'Taters; Stuffed 'shrooms; and Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Raspberries.
Could NOT talk Brown into the Black-eye Peas and collard greens...
Geo-caching is like a high tech treasure hunt. Someone hides something, then enters the GPS cordinates on a web site, then others go find it. It's nationwide, and local. Just something to scratch the itch.
No difference, but my inability to 'member "palindrome," spell "palindrome," and pronounce "palindrome."
Gotta go get the smoker goin'... *IF* my math should happen this time to be correct, I gotta smoke da'pig for yust a titch over 24 hours... 16.5 lb ham at 1.5 hours per lb...
Hey all. Well it's January 1 and I immediately thought about the Winter Carnival and the Med hunt. I have to live vicariously through the CoolerHeads this year since I no longer live in MN. I got married in October and now live in Hot Springs, Arkansas! I will be following the hunt here though, wishing I was there to do a little digging. Have one for me at McGovern's on the 19th.
Okay, I'm breaking tradition and actually posting. Jackie and I will use this I.D. during the hunt to solicit info, advice, etc. We can be reached by e-mail at MedallionHuntDoc@aol.com
Anyway, I just got off the phone with Jake, and I'm sweating bullets (okay, Green and Steve, you can stop laughing now) about the lack of snow -- though I "knew" there was very little on the ground (I had visions of about four inches), Jake's telling me that even in the parks you can actually see green grass. Is this true? Any snow reports from people who live near parks is appreciated -- please be honest.
Our problem is that we have to start making flight reservations, reserving crew (i.e. Bud and Phil), blah, blah, blah, very soon since the 19th is, well, almost two weeks away.
Originally, we planned to cover the 2002 hunt with four cameras (we had two cameras last year), but due to the lack of snow, we've scaled back to two already. And if there's going to be little to no snow, it just might be me with one camera. Unfortunately, we can't justify a huge expense without a winter wonderland, and given the brain power that now exists on the Cooler, with no snow the med will be found quickly (contrary to Jake's insistence that without snow the hunt will go to the latter clues -- yeah, only if the PP waits till Clue 10 to hide the med).
I've checked the 10-15 day forecast, and though some snow is predicted for Jan 8-9, it's looking pretty bleak. Can anyone put a positive spin on this?
Over??? Did somebody say over??? Nothings over until we say it is!!! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??? HELL NO!!! And it ain't over now!! When the going get's tough............................THE TOUGH GETS GOING!!! NOW WHO'S WITH ME!!!!
"Tick tock, Tick tock" Only time will tell. As the sun sets comes darkness, and with darkness comes terror...terror of the unknown. "Tick tock, tick tock"
This is Minnesota. In the winter. Expect the unexpected. We could have a blizzard come through here in a week, even if warm temps are forecasted. The hunt could be done in a day or two, it could go to the last day. Depends on snowfall, the clues, the park where it's hidden, the conspiracy theories, the alignment of the stars, the lives of the coolerheads, if Randy Moss decides to come to play, Jesse Ventura's mood. Well, not all of those, but close enough. I think it is worth coming, not just for the hunt and who finds the medallion. Think of those who hunt for it. This is my fifth year on the Cooler. We've come together as a group, friendships have been forged. People out of state lend support and keep tabs on the hunt. Families dig together. People see each other in the non-hunt season. A new cooler chat was put up a month before the hunt begins. We're all hyped about two weeks of our year. I think all of this is important and worth coming for.
Any year - snow or no snow - January thaws - blizzards - ice storms - earmuffs or no earmuffs - the medallion gets hidden and it very often goes to later clues before it's found. It's really all a crap shoot. Even in deep snow, the right shovel full of snow could uncover the medallion after 3 clues....or that lucky dig could happen three hours before the official end of the hunt.
One year it was at Mounds - it went to the second to the last day - hidden in a clump of dirt, leaves and grass clippings.
The year of the earmuffs - we had much less snow than we have now when the earmuffs were first located - and though someone foolishly put the earmuffs back - the weather (snow, bitter cold) later that week made for a long hunt.
Thaws and unseasonal rains can occur, but often that just puts a layer of ice to pick your way through and miserably wet hunters.
Every hunt is different. Every hunt presents it's own special challenges. The weather usually varies and changes during the hunt. If you have an "ideal" hunting scenario in mind, you may be disappointed. If you're really looking to document the hunt - no matter what the weather, snow cover, mud, ice, or any combination, you'll find some things much different than last year - or any year past or in the future. Lack of snow doesn't mean the medallion will be found early, and tons of snow doesn't mean it will go to the last clue. It's still a matter of being that lucky person who chose to hunt in the exact right spot.
Trent- I can pretty much promise you that I am going to find the medallion anyway, so you realistically only need one camera. As for the snow... I am thinking that the lack of snow opens up a ton of possibilities for the hider of the medallion. When there is a lot of snow, it is pretty obvious the medallion is in the snow... somewhere. It is unknown what is "out of bounds" as far as hiding the medallion, so it will be considered pretty wide open in my mind at least. I honestly can tell you that this hunt can just as easily go to the last clue as a year with 4 feet of snow. And there is enough snow "for the cameras". I doubt you are able to see much grass, and it'll be covered by 1 or 2 more inches which is what we will get between now and the nineteenth. Personally, I think this adds to the movie by broadening the audiences perspective of the hunt. It isn't always a bunch of crazy lunatics digging in the snow, sometimes they tip trashcans, climb trees, and bust up frozen lumps of sod. Anywho, hope to see you soon.
happy new year all! I know! a little late! but I had to work yesterday and was real tired when I got home, was sleeping by 9:15! God I'm getting old! I think my grandma stays up later than that!!!
I'm so very proud o'The 'Heads!!! Terry and Kids and Marley put it very well.
Ittiz always bothered me that there must be a billion feet o'snow for the documentary. You can't cue fringgin' Mother Nature.
Trent, in my not-so-humble opinion, if you're going to do a doc o'The Hunt, then do one and snow, weather, whatever be damned. The film's SNOT about the weather in MN or depth o'snow! Ittiz about US!!! Those that live for two weeks outta the year to noodle clues! In the off seasons, we're still noodling... Wondering, waiting, plotting, getting together to put heads together. Buying buttons from years past; digging up previous Med finders; building Web sites...
WE shure as blazes don't cop out depending upon the weather or lack of precip! This AIN'T about what's on the ground, but for that widdo blue piece o'plastic.
If you're going to do this, then do it RITE. Continue to plan on four - HELL!!! Bring six!!! - cameras. Get Bud and Phil; contact Disney for crying in a bucket!
Think about it, Trent... You guys want to possibly follow The Hunt for years... How in gods names can you if you're picky about snow? WE aren't. We're gonna hunt. MomPress isn't. She's gonna see that there is a Hunt - you won't find HER whimping out cuz she's grumpy that The Med can't be buried six feet down... She ain't gonna call "Time Out!" this year for "lack of romatic filming background."
Won't this year's precip/lack of be a neat contrast to what you've already got? "Look at the difference [hunting methods... Maybe we'll use grass rakes this year or lawn mowers...; strategies; noodling, etc.] between year One and Two." You don't gotta tell folks in Nue Yark, CA, or where ever "Ah... We didn't really wanna film 'cuz there was no snow, but, like, you know? We did. We're sorry." Anybuddy seeing the film isn't even gonna give lack o'snow more than a passing thought that the years were different; that time has passed. They're going to be concentrating on THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS HUNTERS! :D (And The Camo Crew in tutus...)
Trent, if you've the belief and passion for this as you've professed... You'll continue full speed ahead... As we Hunters always do...
If you don't and scale back, you'll only be sorry. You'll kick yourself later for lack of contrasting footage, missed 'tunities, missed highs, missed lows... Maybe even a missed blizzard...
And missing a 'Head finding the 2002 Med.
You scale bock, if you want. But I tell you, there is snot a single Hunter that you've met, talked to, read, etc., that would even consider for a nano secend putting forth less passion, enthusiasum, drive, energy and brain power this year or any udder friggin' year.
The Hunt is The Hunt. There is no way *we're* gonna miss it...
----------------> green, getting off soap box now
(whispered... "Ittiz about tradition, passion, love... Snot snow...")
Hay, SueBee!!!! Good to see you!!! Congrats on the nuptuials!!! I was just thinking o'you the udder day... Took Brown to The Gopher for dogs. Natch, we both gobbled up two!
We'll miss you! You check in here often and help us out, otay?
Yes, Green hit on a good point. If there is no to minimal snow, it would be a nice contrast to last year's hunt. You saw what the hunt was like on an anniversary year, a nice amount of snow, etc. Now see how people have changed over a year, how last year's hunt has affected them, how weather conditions affect their noodling and hunting, how it affects turnout. Also, I read movie reviews and see a lot about character development being important. We certainly have a lot of characters here. Coming back here, having a good amount of cameras will allow you to have character development. Get a better sense of the coolerheads that take part in this. People who would be interested in this movie, I think, would be interested in this concept of hunting in the snow for a little puck, but also the type of people who partake in this. I am by no means a movie expert, but this is my opinion.
grass rakes and lawn mowers. i like it green. what's scary is that when it was at conway, i actually remember someone cleaning off the baselines on one of the diamonds. looked just like he took a snowblower through it.
First post of 2002 that must mean I'll be the first to call the park, just like last year,poor Alisonwonderland he was way off. I called the park and was digging within 30 yards of where it was found. You wouldn't believe it not a single foot print in the snow. Remember last year how much snow there was it was great nobody was there except for a handful of people digging by the trolley. I hope they don't blow it like they did with Newell that was a joke. I want another Conway that was the best no question about it.
It ain't my dollars, Trent, but I think you're looking at things from the large end o'the bi-nocs...
The very neatest aspect o'The Hunt izz that we DON'T know what's gonna happen, but for that there will be a Hunt. Will there be snow? Will it be cold? Will it go Two Clues or Twelve? Will a bone-headed, lucky stiff find The Med? Or a long-standing, dedicated Hunter that's been hunting 20 odd years? Will a previous Finder get lucky again?
Instead o'narrowing in on snow amount/depth, rejoice in the numerous, numerous, NUMEROUS variables. They're what make The Hunt so xciting! The unknowns!
Otay, so there may be no Locusts this year. But there *could* be! We just don't know. We won't know anything *until* it happens! Instead o'Locusts, there may bee a whole line o'Heads doing the Monkee's walk thru a park, kicking up puffs o'snow... And one lucky 'Head falling on The Med to claim it!
Maybee there will be Locusts this year, and an Armistice Day-like blizzard that keeps all but the most very dedicated Hunters from Hunting.
Maybee we'll bee in t-shirts, sunglasses and sipping margaritas...
Ittiz a doc, Trent. Let her play out. You'll have a richer film for it.
You know Ares... As I typed that, I was thinkin', "Didn't sumpin' get used at Conway?" Couldn't remember xactly what, but thought sumpin' had. Ittiz hard to remember 'cuz I keep threatening to use a torch each year sos I don't gotta dig.
Spry, I think Chair O'Key was better'un Conway. Conway second. Newell was a joke cuz The Med got moved there from Phalen (I will believe this until the day I die!), and Como went too fast. If ONLY I'd dug where I'd told Jakey, Tim, Steve, et al, then *I'D* have found The Med and not Cathi!

The hunt could be done in a day or two, it could go to the last day.

You know Ares... As I typed that, I was thinkin', "Didn't sumpin' get used at Conway?" Couldn't remember xactly what, but thought sumpin' had. Ittiz hard to remember 'cuz I keep threatening to use a torch each year sos I don't gotta dig.
Spry, I think Chair O'Key was better'un Conway. Conway second. Newell was a joke cuz The Med got moved there from Phalen (I will believe this until the day I die!), and Como went too fast. If ONLY I'd dug where I'd told Jakey, Tim, Steve, et al, then *I'D* have found The Med and not Cathi!
