We do this because we are gluttons for punishment. The money would be great (2 kids in college) but this gets way beyond money. It's the deciphering, beating the clue writer, meeting new medallion junkies at PP, and never getting a good night's sleep.

Still gotta slog since getting back... but...

Mr. Tom: PP*M*CC... We *gotta* have the 'm' - for The Med - as that's what we dig and search for. Too, the PP has a Cooler for everything/every topic under the sun!! We gotta distinguish ourselves... particularly if we're on fire!!!!

It's getting late folks, been many a long day, and I'm WAY COOL tired. sorry!!! LOL!

Sunshine, we gather at the fair in the summer and in a park in the winter. The rest of the time we keep to ourselves. There's nothing like chaos and confusion to bring people together! ;)

See you all out there in 15 minutes. I still think the 3 pyramids have nothing to do with that building out at cherokee. I have to remimber to keep the lantern away from my coat. I scortched it the other day. Good luck to all

Early clues.....about 6 or 7 hours of sleep

Middle clues.....about 4 or 5 hours of sleep

Last couple of clues.....lucky if I can get 3 hours of sleep.

We do this because we like money, we like learning stuff about St. Paul, we like the communal aspect of it all, but most of all because we want to squeeze that little medallion in our hands with a big sigh of accomplishment and the promise of being inscribed in the annals of a wonderful winter tradition.

(or maybe we're just all goofy in the head)

One of the many reasons people do this is to get away from their wives/husbands. Don`t take personally ,DON.

The clue that mentioned coming to the FORE:: notice the 'NO GOLFING' signs by the sliding hill at CP. Coincidence? Government plot?
