Hey there Sax, what a long journey this has been eh? For me all behind the computer except for 2 nights ago. But you have to agree clue 4 sounds more like just a DEMO of the real code.
I threw a lot of my maps away...or just misplaced them (no, not in this totally organized house!)...anyway I'm not sure if I have the energy to start over
Hey shovelboy you dug the chair Sunday night? I was walking back at about 5:00 in the morning and saw the five of you all out there. Was it your friend that slipped and fell. Agree that chair is a real bitaaatch. Especially at the fore of the bridge.
Just got back from CP. Planning on returning at 11:31. BTW, I ran into a cooler-phile at Chippewa and Annapolis with a dog and two pretty ladys. You got my name, but what was yours? Apparently your backdrop theory didn't pan out. ;) Good luck all!
MY GOD!!! I'm caught up!!! LOL!!! that only took two hours!!! LOL!!!
Not a MN native; lived here 12 +/- years. Never done this before. 42/F. Just happened to read a clue... when??? Can't even remember... was it last Wed? Tues? And the rat in the wheel hasn't stopped since. Been getting, at most, four hours sleep a nite; at the least two. This is so DAMN fun!! And like a lot of us, I've not accomplished squat at work the past two days (took last Thurs & Fri off; NEXT year will take *this* week off). I find myself sneaking into The Cooler to see what's going on. Don't post until late in the day as don't want a co-worker figuring out who I am!!!!
Now, gotta run for cigs!!!! I guess I won't be sleeping prior to the next clue... but I know that if I don't have smokes, I'll HAVE to sleep or go crazy!!!
Back in a few minutes, all!!! Try not to post too much so I can catch up quickly!!!!
I was only at the green chairtill about 2:30am. right after the monday clue came out at 11:30 sunday. Just a thought that Cherokee thing seems more and more too easy doesn't it? I guessed Cherokee as soon as the High ground clue came out.. and so did many others....I have to run home now and await the next clue....look for me...Ill be at CP unless the clue tells me its in the dining room at Cosettas..then you can look for me there, tossing pizzas out of my way to find that bastard!
later, and good luck to you awesome cooler people!
hey all, my co-digger are all day time diggers so i have no one to go with but this sounds like a lot of fun!!!! do you share your last clue info there or do i have to wait until i know the clue to head out?
Ian: I'm fine with being stuck far away. I got my digs at Cherokee over the weekend. My friends are continuing the hunt for me and have promised to give solid updates tomorrow morning. They'll be wearing a little white tonight to mark them as Water Cooler Crew members.
Fire is going I have it easy though, I let my friend use my car to go back and look some more so if she finds it she's going to come get me and we are going to turn it in together
Bye guys/gals I'm off to the park. GO COOLERS!!! If anyone sees me say hi, I'll be the one in the white Pooh bear ball cap. (only white thing I got. Talk to ya after the hunt.
Me again. I forgot to ask this earlier. I was wearing my white bandana, but I didn't see anyone elses'. Did this idea fade? Even if it did fade it did work. Someone did come over. Still waiting on a name. :)
Not bad, Matt. I lose track of what we're calling ourselves from day to day. mr.tomski was pretty vehement about Water Cooler Crew earlier today. For those in the dark, I posted this message a while back based on a long-running conversation:
Proper "Water Cooler Crew" 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 Crew
Im going out there, leaving a little too early, so ill have to relly on the water cooler colective out there for the clue, so where digging to gether right, cuz if we dig solo, some new-be will get it.
I have only been out searching during the day. What is, I guess appropriate attire? Is it too cold for jeans? Also, I can dress myself just fine, I Just am curiuos what is the clothing of choice?
That was silly of me to run that graphic off of my server. :P Okay, nuking that IP table. Sorry to those that don't see the graphic; I'm getting nuked off the 'net from everyone downloading it...
Is that south and kind of east of Highland? I think that's a good idea...Crosby is just across the way a little further east.
Is everyone sure that they are right? I read something completely different into the clue from today. What if they don't point to Chippewa?
How many people are at cp tonight?This is my first message ive just been being entertained untill now by every one else.
MCDONOUGH??????????????????????????????????????....
Hey there Sax, what a long journey this has been eh? For me all behind the computer except for 2 nights ago. But you have to agree clue 4 sounds more like just a DEMO of the real code.
you know shovel...that was my original idea. Is it part of cp? do all the clues fit? i never made it over there
I AGREE WITH SHOVEL BOY! I SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE WAITING
FOR DUMB LUCK PARCTICING THEIR SHOVELING TECHNIQUE. I
HAVE TO ADMIT THOUGH I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE TO, AFTER
THE THE WAY IT WAS FOUND LAST YEAR AND THE CONDITION OF THE
PARK WHO CAN BLAME US.
I HAVE THIS WIERD FEELING THAT THE CLUE MASTER WILL THROUGH
US ANOTHER CURVE BALL AND RECOMMEND ANOTHER PARK INSTEAD OF
NAROWWING THE AREA. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS UNHEARD OF BUT THE
WAY CLUES ARE GOING WHO KNOWS.
AS ANY ONE INTERESTED IN MEETING UP AROUND 11:45 OR MIDNIGHT
TO LOOK TOGETHER ? (THE REST OF MY TEAM HAS FADED IN THE STRETCH)
EMAIL ME BY CLICKING ON THE FACE TO THE LEFT.
Natch, palettes, as in, what you stack warehouse inventory on so it can be moved.
I threw a lot of my maps away...or just misplaced them (no, not in this totally organized house!)...anyway I'm not sure if I have the energy to start over
Calm down Tomski. Its just frustrating that no one has found it and Cherokee is completely torn up
2000OR SO CLUES AGO WE LEARNED THAT THE BIG GREEN CHAIR WAS NOT IN A PARK.
Hey shovelboy you dug the chair Sunday night? I was walking back at about 5:00 in the morning and saw the five of you all out there. Was it your friend that slipped and fell. Agree that chair is a real bitaaatch. Especially at the fore of the bridge.
Gray Beard,
ShovelBoy - The green chair is in Peace Park. The park is not a true City park. It is there as a neighborhood park.
When I was at CP tonight I figure there were about 150 others there
Just got back from CP. Planning on returning at 11:31. BTW, I ran into a cooler-phile at Chippewa and Annapolis with a dog and two pretty ladys. You got my name, but what was yours? Apparently your backdrop theory didn't pan out. ;) Good luck all!
Greg: How can you stand it not being here?
MY GOD!!! I'm caught up!!! LOL!!! that only took two hours!!! LOL!!!

It could just have double meaning Cher-Kee and the Chair is at the fore of the bridge before you get to Cherokee.

Chris - are you from Woodbury High School? Age; how long have you been hunting.
hey all, my co-digger are all day time diggers so i have no one to go with but this sounds like a lot of fun!!!! do you share your last clue info there or do i have to wait until i know the clue to head out?
Hmm, the chair isn't a St. Paul park, though.
Little less than one hour to go, I'll be out there sometime...
If anyone in the group finds it, we should make a bandanna with a logo like
or something. I'd buy one.

Sorry Sunshine I'm a little older than that and my wife may
get concerned If I continue to talk to a HS'er online.
Ha Ha!
GREENSLVS. GOT TO START THE COOLER-WARE FOR NEXT YEAR.MORE $$$$ THAN MED. AND YOU CAN JUST HANG OUT HERE AND SELL
Me again. I forgot to ask this earlier. I was wearing my white bandana, but I didn't see anyone elses'. Did this idea fade? Even if it did fade it did work. Someone did come over. Still waiting on a name. :)
Greg: Do you think the ball field area is good, or not? Also, has any
one mentioned a Timberwolves player named Cherokee Parks?

Chris - I'm not in HS - Wish I still was. Was in school with a Chris Swenke; the name took me by surprise. What do you think of today's clue?
How is up for a group dig at 11:45!
Send me a mail!
THERE WILL LOTS OF WHITE IN THE PARK TONIGHT!
Matt, what is
bPP*M*CC ?????
Im going out there, leaving a little too early, so ill have to relly on the water cooler colective out there for the clue, so where digging to gether right, cuz if we dig solo, some new-be will get it.
I have only been out searching during the day. What is, I guess appropriate attire? Is it too cold for jeans? Also, I can dress myself just fine, I Just am curiuos what is the clothing of choice?
MR.SAX IS CORRECTOMUNDO
So is it true the clue comes out at 11:00 down at the press this year?
O.K., so I should have been patient for two more minutes. I guess I know the answer to my 'something white' question.
wore jeans with "longjohns" last night and I was plenty warm...i don't know the temp difference from last night to tonight, though
That was silly of me to run that graphic off of my server. :P Okay, nuking that IP table. Sorry to those that don't see the graphic; I'm getting nuked off the 'net from everyone downloading it...
