There was some billing mixup where my payment was applied to next month's regular phone bill instead of last month's cell phone bill so they thought it was past due, but it's straightened out now and should be working again. Thanks for letting me know.
Akkkk. Why can't my family cook their own supper tonight? ....And the grammys are on, too! Gee! I can watch a bunch of rappers give out awards to other rappers! Do the other musicians even get awards anymore? BBL, all! Happy noodles.
robrt, i was out there virtually all day yesterday. yes it was very cold out there then. mostly cuz of the wind. today though, with the sun and no wind. it was a lot nicer.
OK, I'm off to night class. Sigh. Y'all have fun and play nice with each other, OK? Don't anybody do anything foolish, like find the coin, while I'm gone. ;-)
Well I'm about to head home home now. I should get there just in time to get everything ready to post the clue. Good luck to everyone tonight. It sounds like not many people are out right now so I suspect we will indeed see Clue #11.
I wonder if all the sickies will be better tomorrow. Maybe if it goes that long, I can hightail it out to the park tomorrow.
I was so tempted to run out on my lunch break - but with my staff not there and barely functioning, I knew I couldn't be gone long enough to even get there.
At this point, unless the clue really gives something that would put everyone in a different part of the park, I believe it's a matter of just finding it there somewhere.
There's been various clues about muddy baths, clinging vines, something covered with earth, barrows...and considering that there was no snow when it was hidden, I'd have to believe it's in leaves or amongst the intertwined vine branches, maybe in a clump of soil, grass and glop.
11. Brush away that tear, for the treasure is near Your quest for the coin you need not abate. The way to the loot is almost perfectly clear And you won’t be getting stopped by that gate.
And here are the previous clues:
10. If the botanical arts was your area of smarts Virtually any plant could come in handy. If you can spot the one that has clinging parts, Victory is close, and that would be dandy
9. Seems ya’ll are lost, scouring the land of frost And maybe another clue is what you’ll be needin’. But you may be fixin’ to give up in utter exhaust Cause your plan to get the right park, it’s not succeedin’.
8. Though St. Patrick’s Day is only a ways away, Even the luck of the Irish is no guarantee. The leprechauns have hidden their gold in a secret cache, But in their tiny deadbolt you may find a key.
7. Now “Old Hickory”, if you studied history, Was General Andrew Jackson’s informal title. Another Jackson may help solve this mystery But keeping sight of the General’s moniker is vital.
6. The rule of Boreas the King is yielding to spring And so we’ve reached the end of his reign. To avoid falling into a useless sort of fling It’s best to stay within another noble’s domain.
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.
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.
well, I just got a phone call from me2...Allison's cell is disconnected/out of order
anyone else who has it want to confirm this?
She is wondering about plan B?? Any other way to check/notify, etc. And Huntress, can you call her, with the clue?

I could Ian, but I need her #
Allison, you are posting the clue tonight, correct? No silly "let's go to the park to announce it" plans?
you could call her if she weren't over her alotted minutes for this month already.
Yes, I am posting tonight's clue. At 7pm. And then I'm going to Minneapolis where I will probably remain until midnight or so.
robrt, back atcha. we made our way pretty much around the whole damn park.
Same to you Robert. And don't take it personally if I'm glad you didn't find it ;)
nice shovel chrisdigger!
I too have been stumped when looking for numberical patterns. The problem is this: Allison likes them, I don't.

Remember, when it was hidden, there was no snow.

j/k I'm at work still so I hope he doesn't walk someone right to it.
Is he here or did he hide himself?
Getting the clue ready to go...
Please post it so that we can leave work for the day.
Let's hope we still have the park right. The way things were going for awhile, we had a different park just about every day.
Quick, any predictions about tonight clue.
