I think I'm going to head off to bed too though I will have my cell phone sitting nearby should someone get lucky. Otherwise good night and good luck everyone.
It's day four and the satellites aren't projecting any coordinates. The coin is not broadcasting. #1-5 are projecting in a tepee shape (Mystic Lake ?). #6-7 are inactive. #8-12 seem to be hidden or on the farm.
Dang it all, what am I supposed to do with all this white stuff around? I don't like it, it's icky. Can we have a do-over on the hunt? It's like, not fair, with all this white stuff getting in our way.
All I can say is that Allison clue distinctly does not say "water" it says Hydrogen Hydroxide. This could be implying water in another form such as ice or steam. I think that a steam spring or an ice rink cannot be ruled out yet for the meaning behind this clue.
So you're saying that Allison is splitting hairs, because hydrogen hydroxide can be in any of the three states, solid, liquid or gas? Interesting. That twicky wabbit!
Couldn't you technically say now that all the parks would be in the running with the hydrogen hydroxide clue, since all the parks have snow in them, and snow I believe is a form of hydrogen hydroxide.
I don't truly believe that every park is in the running. I'm just thinking that he's using a fancy schmancy way of saying there is a river or lake near/in the park
Clue #1 St Paul, in a remote part of a park      #2 some strange U2 reference_ great clue cause it could be many things if you guess right      #3 misleads us to think IM, but says covered in sod or dirt?? or by a monument or cemetary -Old Jewish cemetary(Jews/pharaohs??) by prosperity park???      #4 water reference, maybee traffic light or remote park
The clue in the first paragraph is the "key" to the treasure. The letter "k" appears once in the paragraph. The letter "e" nine times, and the letter "y" 8 times. Picture 198 at www.treasurehunt.8m.com portrays Tilden Park and the swingset.
o-kaaayyy. Anyone counting up all the letters in this year's clues yet?
Last year the first letter of each line of the clue (AIFI), if converted to numbers where A=1, B=2, etc, became 1969, the year it was found in a spot you could see from Linwood as referenced in the clue.
I didn't know last years clues were explained, thanks for the tip.
Alison your a a sneaky..... good clues! It is to hard to go from sit to sit on this work connection to look up other web sites, a major pain during the other hunt.
Remember I'll be posting the clue early tonight. In fact, might even be in about 15 minutes or so. And then I'll be heading off to dinner and will be away from the computer until probably 10pm or so.
5. Could you be grumpy because your dinner was lumpy? Maybe this clue is one way to put your mind at ease. Hidden amongst terrain that might be called bumpy Consider taking as your guide a group of fir trees.
And here are the previous clues:
4. At the treasure’s site you’ll find traffic is light So you needn’t worry much about carbon monoxide. But whether searching by day or hunting by night It’s best to stay near plenty of hydrogen hydroxide.
3. It was not the fate of Pharaohs to lie in barrows As such a burial was not appropriate to their worth. But if by comparison one is as poor as the sparrows Then try looking for something covered with earth.
2. If your thoughts are strewn and you’re in a swoon And you worry, “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.” Remember the disc but try changing your tune And you too may find the stash you’ve been yearning for.
1. The hunt has begun and the shining of the Sun Hath turned the snows of winter into a big muddy bath In the parks of St. Paul you’d best be careful as you run Seeking the treasure that lies off of the beaten path.
Ok, all packed up here and ready to go. I'll see how the noodling has been going when I get back. If anyone finds it while I'm out....nah, that won't happen. hehe
We need another phone line (or dsl) then we'd be set! Usually don't have a problem, only during "hunting" season!
JOE!
Night Terry! Luck and Lightbulbs!
SCD's and MCL
I think I'm going to head off to bed too though I will have my cell phone sitting nearby should someone get lucky. Otherwise good night and good luck everyone.
Goodnight AW !
Searching for the cell phone number, make sure I call every hour and hang up when answered. Mwa ha ha ha
MK,
It's day four and the satellites aren't projecting any coordinates. The coin is not broadcasting. #1-5 are projecting in a tepee shape (Mystic Lake ?). #6-7 are inactive. #8-12 seem to be hidden or on the farm.
Plan B:
The buzzard swoops at 6:30 pm Thursday.
Darn, Conway was looking good but this water clue is changing my mind.
Dang it all, what am I supposed to do with all this white stuff around? I don't like it, it's icky. Can we have a do-over on the hunt? It's like, not fair, with all this white stuff getting in our way.
tell me about it kids. its like february. we're not supposed to have this stuff around.
All I can say is that Allison clue distinctly does not say "water" it says Hydrogen Hydroxide. This could be implying water in another form such as ice or steam. I think that a steam spring or an ice rink cannot be ruled out yet for the meaning behind this clue.

Good choice cluemaster
whazzup YO?
Couldn't you technically say now that all the parks would be in the running with the hydrogen hydroxide clue, since all the parks have snow in them, and snow I believe is a form of hydrogen hydroxide.
True, but we didn't have snow when Allison was writing the clues. Unless he's making them up as he goes along. Allison?
I don't truly believe that every park is in the running. I'm just thinking that he's using a fancy schmancy way of saying there is a river or lake near/in the park
just thinking that he's using a fancy schmancy way of saying there is a river or lake near/in the park
I agree. He didn't say water, b/c water doesn't rhyme with carbon monoxide.
when Allison was writting the clues he was probably watching U2 perform at the Super Bowl. Could it be in a park with a football field??
Good noodleing kids about the different states of H2O.
In clue #2 Why does he say "remember" the disc??
carbon monoxide = box car on meid
My guesses so far:
Clue #1 St Paul, in a remote part of a park
     #2 some strange U2 reference_ great clue cause it could be many things if you guess right
     #3 misleads us to think IM, but says covered in sod or dirt?? or by a monument or cemetary -Old Jewish cemetary(Jews/pharaohs??) by prosperity park???
     #4 water reference, maybee traffic light or remote park
Guess everyone is out hunting today...
Surely they're not working?
Hunting for Wabbits....

You don't expect me to be devious in the same way I've been devious before, do you?
Surely you jest Dal.
You don't expect me to be devious in the same way I've been devious before, do you?
Absolutely not. I'm just gauging the depth of your potential deviousness. :)
(I know you like number-y clues, though) :)
He is a numerologist...yes...you are correct...any numbers you can pair with 'barrows'??
18 is the atomic wt of hydrogen hydrox..I don't have my guide, anbody know what picture 18 is?
Well it's always possible there's a number clue still to come.
U2 how about picture #2
Last year the first letter of each line of the clue (AIFI), if converted to numbers where A=1, B=2, etc, became 1969, the year it was found in a spot you could see from Linwood as referenced in the clue.
I don't have my guide, anbody know what picture 18 is?
I don't have mine either, but on the website, picture 18 shows not only a WATCHTOWER (U2 song), but 2 water towers right next to the watchtower!
is highland park corner of hamline and highland pkwy looking west toward the water towers
I'm intrigued...
Thanks highland...
clue #4 1st letter a=1
#3 i=9, #2 1=9, #1 t=20 1992 where was it in 1992??
I wish I had my stinking guide...
I was working.
what do you need your guide for, nd? coolercrew.com has the hunt history.
I swear we should get this guy to run for political office.....
I'd campaign.....
AW have you ever considered ??
I didn't know last years clues were explained, thanks for the tip.
Alison your a a sneaky..... good clues!
It is to hard to go from sit to sit on this work connection to look up other web sites, a major pain during the other hunt.
gotta go have fun with the number noodling!!
Remember I'll be posting the clue early tonight. In fact, might even be in about 15 minutes or so. And then I'll be heading off to dinner and will be away from the computer until probably 10pm or so.
I'm ready!
I'm almost ready.....
