Rush - You could have had everyone convinced - and we'd all be partying in the wrong park!

and I was TOTALLY sold on it until late last night, and even then I thought Wheelock was a trap, but after today I feel certain of Phalen. I actually saw a giant W out there tonight too.

Where at Phalen is this giant W? I was there today, but not that observant I guess. Course I was mainly looking at the ground :)

Rush - I think I raked a bit at 'The Big W' but it was pretty hard stuff with it being cold and all. I hope it turns a little warmer because all leaves and mud are one big clump.

ATH - I'll send that link in a few

Just got back from Phalen, it coooold out there. Dang you Allison, why couldn't the Phalen clue come out when it was 50 degrees this weekend??

Going to bed, must be up early. Night all.

Light pollution is not friendly to aurora watching. :-)

I better call it a night.

Good luck to all who get to hunt in the daylight tomorrow!

Goodnight and SCDs to coolerheads everywhere! We will prevail!

Ter - Good point. I love the AB. There was a great one earlier in the fall. Ely is a great place to look for it. Fantastic!

Lemmy try this... (open's in another window)

1st one should work. It's a panpix of Phalen taken earlier today. Not where the treasure is unfortunately. If it isn't found tomorrow, I'll post a pix or 2 of the area where we might think it is.

Ok, this might work. It's a rather large .mov file (900kb) of the same pix above but it's navigable within Quick Time and maybe Explorer. Just playin' around late at night here.

MK - Kinda crude, but is this what you're looking for? Remember that it's not a 360, just a pan stretch so you will see an edge. I'll do a 360 tomorrow. (and try and make it smaller too)

It looks like it worked OK. In the earlier, deleted posts it didn't.

Requests??

Cool pic CM! what would I use to open the 2nd one?

Mon, 02/25/2002 - 6:04 PM Permalink
Clue Master

Explorer worked for me in addition to Quick Time. It might of been Quick Time within Explorer that worked though.

Cool pic cluemaster, but I couldn't open the second one. I don't think I've got any players on my work computer. I recognize that fire pit however!

mornin' heads. who wants to start a pool as to how long it will take me to get sick today to go out hunting?

Frosti

How long until you start work Ares?

i'm at work now frosti. i realised that the code i was writing last nite would actually have to be tested. so i couldn't hardly call in sick, expecially cuz i've got an absolute deadline of tomorrow to get it done.

Poor Ares.

FYI, no one has called yet to say they've found it.

ares

and to make things worse, i wrote all the code that i did last nite in the wrong spot :(

i'm still hoping to suddenly fall ill around 10 or so. i've already got the game face on. :)

So, where's everybody been looking? I spend some quality time last night with zone 3. I had some theories that applied there, and the main gate to the park was closed by the time I got there, making zones 1,4,5 and 6 more of a hike than I was willing to make.

i'm still stuck on the island, frosti.

you gonna be out there today?

Tue, 02/26/2002 - 12:15 AM Permalink
Frosti

I'm gonna go out tonight after work with the kiddies. We're hard to miss. I hope somebody (preferrably me) finds it today. I've got night class tommorow, and it would be hard to concentrate knowing that clue #11 has just been released.

well, j, i made the mistake of taking the pill cocktail before i came to work. unforutnately its interfering with the game face :(

"Gee Ares, you aren't looking so hot. Do you feel OK?"

Feel free to show this to your boss if you need some support.

ares

i just talked to him :) and as soon as i get confirmation that my code works, i'm gone. i needn't prove anymore how sick i am to get out of here.

hell i may not even wait for that. but since my game face is only half made up, i *know* i shouldn't go out to phalen. not given the current weather outside. but i'm gonna go anyway :)

still not convinced about Phalen.........

Why not Jewel?

Phalen's a big ol' park. Even if he gives us the park on clue 9 (which I believe he clearly did), there's lots of room to roam. I personally think it could be in 3 of the 6 zones in Phalen. I have my favorites, but haven't ruled the others out yet either.

Phalen's a big ol' park.

Especially if it's hidden in a dirtball or clump of leaves. Once you get out there, it isn't that easy.

Yes, and there's a nice new layer of snow just to make things a "wee" bit more interesting.

Hey Robert!
I was wandering around that group of fir trees right by Earl and Ivy last night. If you'd been there 12 hours earlier we could have met! lol
