Mr. Tom: OH!!! Yes!!! Is this NOT the greatest!!! This is my very first year... And I'm having the biggest blast of all time!!! I'm so worried tho the kids - the rotten ones, not the nice ones - will ruin it and PP will throw their hands up in disgust. Purrsonally, I think if *we*, the PPMCC Members try and police "our" spot and keep the heat off PP - they have GOT to get tired of that crap - then maybe the PPMCC will continue. I'll be really unhappy if it doesn't. Med aside, even!!!
Side note: I'm learning wonderful history of my adopted state, learning how to get around the cities better, meeting and making new friends (waving to BW and C!!!), and getting a better appreciation for the businesses in the area. This is like a big Trival Pursuit game, but on line and MEANINGFUL.

FortuneHunter: Would you be willing to buy some "Cooler Club" or "Club Cooler" stuff, like hats, buttons, shirts, etc., that said you're a member of this elite club????? Maybe like with a logo that that has PPMCC - "Pioneer Press Medallion Cooler Club" - and that 'fat-mouthed' guy????
If so, say so loud and clear hear!! It's an idea that's being discussed around 'this' cooler and we're trying to get some steam generated for it. Things are starting to get 'hot' but we need all the steam we can generate!!! :)
A. Metal Detective - 09:03pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5324 of 8457)
I think the cooler club stuff would be cool, such as a t-shirt. But you should have it next year. Get a t-shirt or something that you can wear when you're out searching for the medallion. You can spot and chat with some of the other cooler clan.

While I'm really excited and pushing this great idea as much as I can, the original concept began with our AllieGo, who, bless her, thought up the idea of name tags for all Coolerphiles - so that we Diggers would know each other (maybe like Trekies???? "Beam me up, Boreus!!!!") out in the field. I, being a mover/shaker... just took her original idea to further xtremes.

Hey fellow cooler-philes. Except for the wasted bandwidth on 'Iv'e found it' and silly arguements this has been great this year. Tons better than last year. Greenslvs2, accept my enthusiatic excitement about your club ideas. Mr. Tomski, I'll be there tonight with a white bandana. Great idea! :) Good luck all. Tonight will be crucial. Hopefully it won't have been thrown too far by someone's shovel

Bonus...just a few regulars to chat with. There's not much more to dig out of the new clue so I'll just share some sleepy ramblings for a few more minutes LostRaven: I agree with you fully about the rules of posting, but unfortunately we're going to get fools in this kind of public setting. And if we tried to break the group down any, we'd be getting away from the community spirit of the hunt. I'm just as miffed by the likes of "Joe Medallion," but he isn't much different than the folks who plant fake medallions and those who run off from popular dig sites with horns blaring and arms waving something out the window. For the most part, this has been a real pleasant experience. It's easy enough to wade through the crap -- a little time-consuming, perhaps, but I can tolerate a few weeds in a garden this inspiring.
Greg Sax - 02:00am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5614 of 8458)
Ah, well. It's gettin' late, y'all. If it's not found yet, I'll chat with you all around the noon hour. Unfortunately, that's about when Joe Medallion's on recess.

Hey ITSINMY..., think you may still have a chance tonight. Good-luck. Probably won't see you, I won't be there until after the clue. Unless of course you find it.
One last observation, it is amazing the different types of people out there tonight. There are some that you can talk to while you're working in the "cold mine" *hehe*, others look through you as if you weren't there. I have seen that type of look other places, they either have that casino-glazed-eye thing going, or they're from an unfriendly place -- Couldn't be Coolers or St. Paulites or even MN Nicers...
But, all-in-all, it is truly a kick! :)
Sorry Casey the postings were kind of slowing down.
Catch 22 - 02:12pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5931 of 8458)
The spotter idea may be correct. When I was at cherokee yesterday I parked behind a guy that was sitting in his car. He was just sitting and staring out the window. I went out and looked for about 30min then came back to my car to call the fiance and he was still there staring. I went back for about another 30min. Came back, still there. Maybe he was just there for kicks or was cold or something. I never thought he may be watching the medallion. If you go to Cherokee look for a guy in a bluish (maybe brown or black--colorblind) buick 4-door. He was parked along Chippewa just down from Page St.
Maybe we should send a couple of the boys around to "talk" to these dangerous loners. Find out what their doin' -- hanging out around a park. Alone sometimes even. With no digging tools. No hoes, no shovels, nuthin!! Hmmph. We can make them talk....

Tired of digging in the snow, and chopping ice? Are the vague clues starting to drive you CRAZY? If you hear one more idiot scream I found it I found it, you think you'll going on a killing spree? Are you starting to think Joe Medallion isn't such a bad guy anyway? If so your looking in the right place.
Acme Medallion services can be yours for a mere 9,999$ a month for 12 months. For this you would get 6 teams of Siberia's finest miners. Each team is headed by a PhD in anthropology from Harvard, and backed up by a fleet of Bobcats. The research team is comprised of 20 librarians, with full satilite search support. The entire Minnesota historical society staff can be added for another 20%.
But the truly amazing part of this package is the defensive team that will confound your compitition. A team of snow makers, Zambonies, and O.J. lawyer team will throw you apponents into a tizzy. Joe Medallion can also send nonstop garbage on the cooler to foil the cooler conspiracy. All this and more could be yours. cash only!!

I've got to slog thru stuff, but was CP tonite from about 6:45 to 7:30 and I was the ONLY Cooler there. Had a white golf hat and on it it said, "PPMCC Member/I'm Way Cooler'un You!/Hail Cooler Hand Luke!!!
Asked several people if they were Coolers, and they looked at me like I had two heads. The hot dog guy by the johns said, when asked if hed seen any coolers, "Where? Just sitting around?" I said, "No, they'll be digging and have white towels, hats or bandanas."
He got a little spooked I think, as he slowly backed away from me...
greenslvs2 - 09:27pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6351 of 8458)
Just a short hop up here, then gotta go back...
See around posts 6000:
I *really* think "Crew" (like Vulcan Krew!) is better than "clan" - particularly the conotation. Ah, yes.
And... I *really* think our letter designation should be "PP*M*CC" as the PP has SO MANY diff Coolers. We need to stress THE MEDALLION - THAT WHICH WE ALL DIG FOR!!!
So am I counted in enough, have I contributed and been on the board enough to qualify, will I be accepted if I actually find a way to show up with my white homer-hanky on!? Or do I have to go ahead and reveal the location of the medallion to the very inch to qualify?!?
ShovelBoy - 09:42pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6368 of 8458) on the hunt
Revealing the medallion to the very inch and then handing it over to your fellow cooler members so we can cash it in is the standard way of becoming a member....So where is it? (laugh)
Sorry Einstein, but I think it's in something from old Navy (Annapolis). It'd have to be small, a kid's sock or something. And it has to be by a tree with weird marks on it.

Bonfire is nice and warm - met some nice (of course) PPMCC treasure hunters there. One woman there from Lino Lakes - says she's been hunting for five days! Wonder if anyone is up for a pancake breakfast in the bonfire ring tomorrow morning? If the hunt is still on, that is. Happy hunting!

Not a MN native; lived here 12 +/- years. Never done this before. 42/F. Just happened to read a clue... when??? Can't even remember... was it last Wed? Tues? And the rat in the wheel hasn't stopped since. Been getting, at most, four hours sleep a nite; at the least two. This is so DAMN fun!! And like a lot of us, I've not accomplished squat at work the past two days (took last Thurs & Fri off; NEXT year will take *this* week off). I find myself sneaking into The Cooler to see what's going on. Don't post until late in the day as don't want a co-worker figuring out who I am!!!!
Now, gotta run for cigs!!!! I guess I won't be sleeping prior to the next clue... but I know that if I don't have smokes, I'll HAVE to sleep or go crazy!!!

Tired of digging in the snow, and chopping ice? Are the vague clues starting to drive you CRAZY? If you hear one more idiot scream I found it I found it, you think you'll going on a killing spree? Are you starting to think Joe Medallion isn't such a bad guy anyway? If so your looking in the right place.
Acme Medallion services can be yours for a mere 9,999$ a month for 12 months. For this you would get 6 teams of Siberia's finest miners. Each team is headed by a PhD in anthropology from Harvard, and backed up by a fleet of Bobcats. The research team is comprised of 20 librarians, with full satilite search support. The entire Minnesota historical society staff can be added for another 20%.
But the truly amazing part of this package is the defensive team that will confound your compitition. A team of snow makers, Zambonies, and O.J. lawyer team will throw you apponents into a tizzy.

MY GOD!!! I'm caught up!!! LOL!!! that only took two hours!!! LOL!!!
Not a MN native; lived here 12 +/- years. Never done this before. 42/F. Just happened to read a clue... when??? Can't even remember... was it last Wed? Tues? And the rat in the wheel hasn't stopped since. Been getting, at most, four hours sleep a nite; at the least two. This is so DAMN fun!! And like a lot of us, I've not accomplished squat at work the past two days (took last Thurs & Fri off; NEXT year will take *this* week off). I find myself sneaking into The Cooler to see what's going on. Don't post until late in the day as don't want a co-worker figuring out who I am!!!!
Now, gotta run for cigs!!!! I guess I won't be sleeping prior to the next clue... but I know that if I don't have smokes, I'll HAVE to sleep or go crazy!!!
Back in a few minutes, all!!! Try not to post too much so I can catch up quickly!!!!
