The hunt's over, but the discussion rages on ...
Still Looking
I've been "hunting treasure" for over forty years, started as a kid with my dad. Through the years I've gotten both of my kids involved. Part of the fun is meeting fellow hunters and sharing thoughts. This is my first trip to the water cooler. You folks are just as entertaining and I stay much warmer here in my house. Keep up the hints and the humor.
Not yet - going at 9 for 2 hours of pre-clue hunting and then the mad dash.... you Q-Ball?
I propose that the WC Crew meet at 11PM at Chippewa and Winona bushes.... I have a lantern, cell phone for clue and enthusiasm! Wear a bandana or white item visable.......I'll be there!
I was at CP from 7:30 to 9:30 am today. Only about 15 people ther in the beginning and maybe 150 people a 9:30. There's still a lot of unturned snow, but most of it is only 4-5 inches deep and thouroughly packed down. Tough digging. Are we even positive that it"s in the snow? There's been no usual reference to look low, dig, etc.
Signing off too gang - see ya at 11:00 if you want to join forces (see prev) - QBall, I'm positive its between Wyoming and Winona not far from Chippewa - tonight will tell! See ya gang (maybe for a postmortem tomorrow if someone nabs the puck tonight)
WAS AT THE PARK THIS MORNING. FOUND A CASSETTE TAPE BOX WITH SILVER COIN TAPED TO INSIDE. COIN IS GOOD FOR ONE FREE DRINK AT MERMAID.IS THAT PLACE STILL THERE?
nice to see you all again, folks! I have to say that i saw NO ONE from the cooler croo last night and I was disenchanted with all the drunk, obnoxious people screaming.
one other thing...i can't seem to find any reference to what IMHO means!!!
The First Annual PPMCC Breakfast Re-Hash will be held Sunday, February 7, 1998, at... Where else??? CP!!!!! A time has not yet been established, since we'll prolly be at the parade the nite before, so stay tuned for further details as to time. (Read: We ALL need to catch up on our sleep!!!!)
We have received RSVPs from three folks so far... Me <g>, Cheryl, and Cheryl has gracioulsy accepted for Hubs, too!!!
So far, we've two Coleman stoves... I'll be glad to share mine!! Bring whatever you want to nosh on for breakfast. I'm doing the Cooler Coffee/eggs/bacon/steak/hashbrowns thing - gotta have HASHBROWNS at a re-hash!!!! Cheryl wants do-nuts.... ISH!!!!!

:)
Black Widow - if you want to come (Sunday), let me know - I'll come and pick you up!!!! Will also pick you up for tonite if The Med is not found today!!!!!!!!
I don't know about y'all, but I've gone dizzy from lantern fumes and endless pondering of the clues. I thought I'd write our own clue number 12. How does this sound:
Wearers of white will search this night
To find the carnival puck
Trading computers for shovels, they go forth from their hovels
Thankful to the Water Cooler for camaraderie, knowledge, and luck.
School doesn't get out for a few yet so we're safe for awhile. I just ignore him. He isnt helping so don't waste the energy responding to him and stick to finding the "medawwion"

What's up Lo??
HollyWood, do you have someone going for a paper before 11?
Does anyone have any thoughts on "To keep up the pace and win our race" (Clue 8) and "To stay in our game and earn some fame" (Rule 11).
Or There's no need to wander to and fro (Clue 8) and Of the crowds traipsing across our city (Clue 9)
Do they have some connection or just part of the poem or am I lost in the snow?

Caribou - I think that those lines are just filler for the rhyming of the clue. More important information was gleaned out from those clues.
HELLO

Need that med. to pay for games

Do ya think the next clue will give the exact location..?
In My Humble Opinion
MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT
hEARD THERE WAS BOMB THREAT AT FRIDLEY HIGH SCHOOL TODAY. JOE MEDALLION MUST GO THERE
tomski -- at least you found something! I think the best thing I found was some frozen pop in a mountain dew bottle, so congrats on the Mermaid-thing!
Mr. Tomski - bummer. At least you get a free drink, the rest of us just get frostbite.
oh no - I hope Joe Medallion doesn't follow through on ALL his threats!!!
