Proper "Water Cooler Clan" Attire (tentative): anything white worn against anything dark -- something that is obviously not part of the regular winter ensemble (e.g., bandana, tube sock, towel, t-shirt, etc.). A white scarf will work, but it should be wrapped around arm rather than face. Displaying your Cooler handle is encouraged. There are a lot of us and we may feel more comfortable approaching someone we've gotten to know here. Good luck all and share your shoveling space tonight. Water Cooler Heads Will Prevail -- unofficial motto of the Water Cooler Clan

The last couple of days, we have thought about what we should put logos on and what they should say, nothing final yet.

To get way back in the messages you can also go up to the URL and change the last four numbers to the number of the clue you want to go back too. Much easier than getting carpal tunnel from clicking back 15 at a time if you have to dig through 200-300 messages or something.

Maybe we could all meet at "the foundation" at a particular time to take a break from our ice chopping and introduce ourselves. Whatta ya say?

MedallionHuntMAN: When I want to go waaaay back, I just click the "Search" button and pick a name that I know posts often. I tend to get to the # post I'm looking for quicker this way. Water Cooler Heads like me, greenslvs2, SueBee, Deb, et al. post all the time and generally have a way of moving the conversation in good directions. Actually, you've been posting off and on, so try searching your own handle if you haven't already. Hope this helps.

MHMan - try clicking on a post number and then changing the post number on your "location window" to anything between 1 and 6000 and you can jump around that way - good luck my brother!

I'll be there a little later Sue B! (probably between 9 and 10 in anticipation of the 11:30 clue!)

So long gang (er...Crew)!

Ok, I lied. I'm outta here when I figure out for sure where the foundation is, and if people at the park have access to the clue at 11. Help, I'm getting antsy!

SueBee: Unfortunately, I'm in Milwaukee. But I'm still in on the Cherokee dig by proxy. I have my own set of eyes and ears back in the hometown and they'll be out in force tonight. I'm going to see if they'll wear Water Cooler Crew attire. They got in on the Cooler conversation with me over the weekend on a rickety laptop and they're hooked, even on a 14.4 connection.

SueBee. I haven't posted yet. Just been watching for the last couple of days. I think Deb S means the old lookout on the edge of the bluffs right across from the swingset.

Last night I witnessed a most effective way to save your back while searching for the medallion....a couple were searching by the corner of Chippewau and Cherokee. One said to the other while holding the flashlight, "KEEP DIGGIN BUBBA"!!! ...so if you know somebody who owes you, now might be the time to take payment!! Ha! I mean Ruff!

It sounds like the cooler gang is a fun group of people.

I will be down at CP to check everyone out,

and maybe have a little fun myself.
