Discuss the 2005 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt here.

There were quite a few out to highland and Crosby tonight from 4-6pm then it got cold (but not comparatively to last year) note to nightime travelers: more than a few dog poos on the trails... oh vell.. there were two old dudes cruisin' on cross-country skis and had to be 3 times my age.. i felt REALLY outta shape.. god bless 'em. i searched Crosby on both ends of where i was able to walk/park, but didn't see anyone i hunted with last year. Hopefully i'll get my ass down to the PP thurs/fri and reconnect. traveling from Hastings has been a bit of a wear. I remember those yellow thin ice helpers when I was a kid, they’ve been there forever?! Anyone ever get twist cones at the four seasons (seasons inn) on montreal?
I'm really hoping that tonights clue gets us away from those two river parks and to higher ground but with Gannon, Homer and Elway so obvious I can't see that happening.
Went to the dolla store, bought some cheap flash lights, xtra batteries, and some snacks... gonna eat some nice hot beef stew, then I'm gettin dressed and headin down to Ma's :) I hope tonight's clue will tell us more, but like everyone else I have an uncanny feeling that it won't.
Last night I was trying to noodle it from a war prospective.. giant, meaning, the bad guys, or the opposition, field generals would be army generals, which kinda lead me towards BC, hence it's name. Then the siren part, that could me lots of things, could mean a police siren, a mythological siren, or, the sound of a bugle, like the battle cry.
Nancy- Mine is Arctic/Red/Timber/Malamute. She weighs that much cuz' she's not in shape (getting old..9 yrs) I accedentally sait she was 3 feetat the shoulder, but it's just a few inches over 2 ft. She's Jet black, with a white 'tie' and a white toe. Her name is Hannah, but I call her "Stinky"- she REEKS in the summer months- those famous wolf sweat/scent glands. But *sigh* I love her anyway. Does yours smell funky too?
If people park on both sides of the road thats heading toward the turn around I don't believe it will be possible to get two cars, one coming into the park and the other leaving, past each other causing a major traffic jam.
Outta I'm not going to be able to :( my hubby's coming out tonight w/me and there isn't any room in the back seat because my mom's fiance has his tool boxes back there. I'm sorry :(
highland is also a good bet. The disc golf course pins were KNOWN for their chinging (noise?) and they were just taken out. Fits perfectly. That was also the site of the first pool in the city, or a "blue pond". I need to do research on the generals, but there are plenty of possibilities with that
hahaha I remember that cheezie guy dressed up as a "king" on the box... roflmao that's too funny.. gonna go start putting on the layers here in a lil bit.. gonna be a cold one at the press tonight, only supposed 2 b 2 degrees!

What's the clue that wasn't posted but was said aloud that was alluded to earlier? I was eating dinner. Sorry.

fit for a king sounds like something clothing related...wonder if this is a hint about what its hidden in.
The blue pond at Highland, rember that clue.

lol it's taped to a burger king crown :)
Clue #1 said "not" a very White Christmas so to me that says not Crosby,  no matter what the next few clues say! Clue writer messing with us again.
or in a king vitamin cereal box
OMG lol do they still make that stuff???
I see Frozen Buttox!
LOL!!!!! I was just wondering the same thing! Haven't heard of King Vitaman in years.
I lost my internet for awhile tonight. Ended up having to reboot everything - router, modem...but at least I'm back online. Talk about nightmares!
