There was a hunt of sorts being planned, but a couple of things just didn't meld this time so that it would work. We're hopeful by next spring, all things will fall into

place better.

Just let me know Terry! Hey,while I have you,please tell me why you guys hunt for goat heads!!!?? Why goat heads? Why Duluth? Why shopping malls? Is there a

plce I can get these answers? The coolercrew site doesn't satisfy my curiosity enough!

Let me see if I can explain it so that it does make sense.

We love to hunt things for prizes and following clues. After the medallion hunt a couple of years ago, we were talking about other hunts during the year. Someone

mentioned a bock hunt in New Ulm at Schell's brewery. Several people headed there...late February...and that hunt took place out in a state park near there. I

wasn't able to participate in that one.

We then heard that Fitger's in Duluth had a bock hunt in March. We called to get information and the next thing you know, we were headed north to hunt those

bocks.

The Fitger's hunt is in the mall there so it's really quite comfortable to hunt there....no boots, shovels, jackets...and it's about 4 hours long.

Bock is a German word for goat head. It's also a type of beer.

We hunt bocks (goat heads) cause they are huntable! Don't know how else to explain it.

I don't know how the prize thing works at Schell's, but the Fitger's goat heads are good for prizes at the mall. This past March, my husband's find got us $25.00

worth of wine from the wine sellar!

Other prizes were for dinner at a restaurant there for 4, a night in the hotel, other certificates to spend in the shops, and I think there was one cash prize.

It's fun. We like to hunt. That's why we do it.

Does anyone have Steve Worthman's e-mail address for getting and updated copy of his book "St. Paul parks - A treasure hunter's guide" ?

The Map Master - Steve's e-mail address is Steve_Worthman@notes.mdor.state.mn.us. He e-mailed me last year when I was asking the same question. I, too,

wanted a copy of his book but it was no where to be found. I'm planning to e-mail him, also, to ask if he's updated his book. Good luck.
