Allison - I agree. Raspberry Island isn't very big, sits under the Wabasha bridge and all that is there is that bandshell and that other old building. Sounds like the hunt is on towards the west.
Good Morning Cooler Heads. I walked from the hotel to the car this morning and almost got frostbite! Oh my Gosh- you gotta be crazy to be out there today (saying that, I'll be out soon). I hate these clues. I was down at HI yesterday for a few, there were a million people. Wouldn't someone have picked it up yet?
Last year we told them they could take their clues and stick them where the sun don't shine. This year, they took the puck and stuck it where the sun don't shine. We're such a cruel crew.
I'm probably going to go out there in a bit just to see the area. I doubt I'll last very long hunting though. But then again, maybe by only planning to be there for a short while, I can be one of those people that digs for 5 minutes and finds it. hehe
I didn't Green, and I couldn't sleep because of it!! Ok, I have slogged and slogged and I can't get why so many are stuck on Harriet. The bait shop, the Harriet Bishop statue, and the High Bridge (with the leap). What else????
Yahoo says the temperature right now is 2 below and the wind chill is 18 below. I imagine the wind chill on Harriet must be even colder because it always seems to be much windier down there.
I just talked to Trent. He's at Harriet Island filming since that's where the most people are. He says he figures it's probably 10 to 20 degrees colder there than it is elsewhere.
I didn't mean so much it was a sad day for treasure hunting in general. Most hunts end up this way. I was just saying I was feeling a bit sad because the interesting part of the hunt was over and now it's mostly a matter of endurance and/or luck. And I don't have much of either.
So, I'm like making an obnoxious concoction to eat, and thinking to myself, "This could be heaven, or this could be hell... But, green, you know - any port in a storm."
but i post my more far out and bizarre ideas. and i assume you all do the same. right?
Well in clue 5 if you assume the first line tells you it's a cipher and the second line is telling you to keep the 1's, and the third line is telling you to get rid of the 2's and 3's, and the last line is where the actual code is, then you divide up the last line into groups of three letters and just keep the first one, you get something not very useful. But if you drop the first word "When" and then do the same thing, you get letters that anagram into "At Mears". So am I onto something or is that one of those crazy ideas?
Allison, ittiz good to me. No crazier than things I've bome up with. It mite be a wee bit of reading too much into the clues, but then you're The Hunt Master and set hunts up, so what do *I* know?
morning every one. Just back from under the high bridge. Lot's of cooler crew there! Even got a sticker from Marleyking. Place is getting raked over pretty good.
I don't think that bandshell is related. I suspect you can't even see it from the vast majority of the park.
Allison, I don't think seeing it is an issue. It's just part of the park. Helps determine the park.

Amen!
I think you've got to line up with some three E's somewhere and hunt between the first and last.

'Slim, did you get your call?

Allison, in my dream I had where you found it, the sun was shining - just like today... GOOD LUCK!

No.
"carpenter's beau... neared finish with walker."
Jamie Carpenter's 'bow' shaped bandshell - his art or something is called "Walker" - was completed near (?) the end of HI's reconstruction.
Sorry about the non-call, 'slim... I guess someone got carried away with the xcitement and forgot...
Yes! LOL!!!

otay green, thanks anyway! What do you mean "the puck stops"?
Yahoo says the temperature right now is 2 below and the wind chill is 18 below. I imagine the wind chill on Harriet must be even colder because it always seems to be much windier down there.
"the puck stops here", you're being moderated.
E-mail lance@peoplesforum.com and let him know. He'll fix you up.
Cold out there, THX? I don't know how you guys have been at it this long! Good luck!

It's not so bad. Once you go numb, it's all downhill from there.
:-)
I'm taking a break from hunting to do some work so I can take the day off tomorrow.

Lucky, you, THX - that you can do that! Way Cooler!
Mad Scout - I got to Harriet Island with the where the sun don't shine....

Any port in a storm? (Clue #3) The marina! :D
I think I've gotten my brave up. Gonna get layered and layered and head out to HI for a wee bit.

JOE!
Actually I don't really think it's at Mears. It's just that was about the only cipher I could get out of that clue.
Looking at that clue, #4, and ciphering like you say, what I see is:
Keep 1.
3-2=1.
Then, depending (on what, gods only know!!!) you've got either 11, or 2.
I don't know. You know me and math...

Howdy, Mr. Mikey! :D Thanks fur the e-gram!!! Nice job. I was able to understand what I needed to do very well.
oops.
Told you I wasn't good at math... Better go change that...
Or... Would that be rite? Because the way the Clue reads "two or three"???
Then you'd have:
1+(-1)=0
And that's what I've got: ZERO left for brains!!! Ittiz all MUSH!
PLEASE!!!!!
Don't get green doing math!!!!!!
We're layered and heading out. My weather bug says -1 degrees yet. Brrrrrrrrrrr
