MJ!  Glad you found your way back here.  I got your book for you and I made sure Steve autographed it for you.  We'll have to hook up so you can get it sooner.

Great seeing everyone tonight.  I'm heading for the sheets too. 

Goodnight and SCDs!!!

OT - Wow!  The whole site is down.  Wonder what is going on there.  Not good for the hunt if that isn't fixed.

Goodnight x 2!

Clue 1

 

The old curmudgeon was in high dudgeon
When a critter ran off with the loot
But this year to be credible, we've made it inedible
And stuck it in a park — so scoot!

Eh, I'm not gonna overanalyze the first clue this year.

What I get outta the clue is "okay okay stop badgering us about edible hiding materials, we didn't hide it in something edible and it's in a park".

And stuck it in a park —

So far I'm guessin any park in Ramsey County (that'd include St. Paul) is still in play.

Only other thing I'd get outta the 1st clue is perhaps a park with a skate park... dunno why I'm thinkin that other than the "scoot" wording. Still, only the 1st clue, I'm still digging at random in hopes of stumbling across it.

You're up SC right now Jake?  I thought you said you were at home in SSP. Just save your pix to you computer.  You'll probably have to resize it using a photo editing program like Photoshop.  It needs to be less than 75k I think. 

After you do that, simply hit the browse button below and find in on your hard drive and post it.  I can't believe that you have 50-75 people over there right now.  Post a pix.

Hey Kitch, Mucluck, I found out my satellite imagining program will allow me to calculate acreage within an outlined area. I'm going to verify it against some known parks and see if it works out right.
