Coleman is good if you want a lantern. I'd go with the coal miner hat. It's easier to dig with. Holdin a lantern and a shovel (or rake) is a trick and if you set it down....crash!
Kcogrn- If you want a really, really good headlamp, the PETZL L.E.D. is the best. It's good and bright, and will never burn out. The batteries last a long time too
Oh my gosh, this guy just called Soucheray's show and told a hilarious story about hunting at Como (very early) and being lead to the Women's handicap stall in the warming house and finding a box of amusement toys with the word Vulcan on the box. He swears it was true.

I wonder if you took all the letters from the first 10 clues if you could spell out the last clue with them all.. that would lend something to the "cipher" thing....
Maybe they're still waiting to see what we come up with and then if someone comes up with a good sounding explanation they'll be like, "yea, that's what that clue meant!"
And once again, no clue as to what that ellusive little round chunk of translucent lucite actually looks like... I think only the finders ever really know.
KC0GRN- sorry for the delay- Yes, they're super bright, but little. My hubby had his on in the woods, so it could've been. We go riverbank catfishing(for sport, not food) all summer, and could not survive w/o it.
I hate thieves, but I had to LOL (very loud) today when I checked on it. Everything was gone, which means somebody thought they found $10,000 and took it with them. I wish I was there when they opened the tin and found trinkets !
Snow- Geo-caching is a worldwide treasure hunting game where people use GPS units to locate little treasures all over the place. It's a club like thing, anyone can play. It's been going on for quite a few years, and Ian takes part in it. It would be so funny if you found his cache.
Ian - Did I read somewhere that there is no electric at the pavillion? Could you call the parks office and ask them if they would turn them on?
For a short work day, this was a long one. Auditors - I just kept saying over and over again this afternoon while answering all their questions...they are just doing their job...they are just doing their job...they are just doing their job. UGH!!
There has got to be a way to make the playing field more level. It really makes it anti-climactic for those of us who noodle and unravel these clues and search hard every night, to end up running into a crazy mob of "Johnny Come Lately's" at the end of it all--where the lucky one gets it. And the news and radio crews...The F**KING NEWS & F**KING RADIO CREWS!!!!!!!! I hope that you are reading this...thanks for always being there to give the medallion location to thousands...I really do search hard just so the news can give it away. Why don't you A-Holes think? You can report on the hunt without giving out locations! Seriously though, what if you had to be registered or you wouldn't win anything? What if there was a way to make it so that the time put into the hunt determined the prize? What if none of the clues pointed out the exact 2 foot resting place of the medallion? What if you truely in puzzle like fashion had to actually figure out and add up these clue right up through the end? No dead giveaways. Wouldn't that make our beloved treasure hunt all that more worthwhile? Don't get me wrong...I had fun, and it's always nice to chat with you all and bump into you at McGovern's and the parks...but just, what if? Thanks, all! Take care till next time!

snowmommy, yep, the film crew was out there, they asked to film my compass...almost lost the group i was with, had a bunch of onlookers going NORTH IS THAT WAY! kinda sucked, but glad to be a part of it.
I *am* glad that the finders include a 10-year hunter, with a registered button, who truly seem to get the spirit of the hunt. Wish it'd been a Coolerhead, though!
I think it's an excellent idea that they never reveal the true hiding place, it should definitely be a puzzle worthy of $10,000 and not a gamble. They could've had a drawing for the thing and the chances of winning would've been the same.
seems like a lot of you are sloggin'....just wanted to say thanks to LL and her husband for giving us a warm place to sit before the madness and thanks to the clowns for leading scribe, leela and myself to the right place! (too bad it was already found!)

Galyan's & REI should have them, they're about $35.00, but worth it. We use ours for lots of things.
Oh my gosh, this guy just called Soucheray's show and told a hilarious story about hunting at Como (very early) and being lead to the Women's handicap stall in the warming house and finding a box of amusement toys with the word Vulcan on the box. He swears it was true.
KT, is that one of those super bright LED headlamps? I saw someone at como with one of those last night as I was leaving, it was just getting dark
Hey, Nancy I'm right next to you in the black hat and black long johns....nice to see you again. LOL
AW or whoever can HELP me!!! I found I picture to put by my name, how do I put it there?

Hehe, next year I'll dress in all black, try and be a ninja hunter :)
I wonder if you took all the letters from the first 10 clues if you could spell out the last clue with them all.. that would lend something to the "cipher" thing....
I forgot to mention it before, but, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE DAILY CLUES!
Also thank you THX 1138 for getting this board!
Maybe they're still waiting to see what we come up with and then if someone comes up with a good sounding explanation they'll be like, "yea, that's what that clue meant!"
the ultimate insult would be for the PP to just say "whatever the clues meant to you, that was their meaning"
AW, I look forward to your mock hunt.
the ultimate insult would be for the PP to just say "whatever the clues meant to you, that was their meaning"
Then why wasn't it in Kellogg!
hahaha or Harriet, or Mounds?
Well I am out of here for the evening. See some of you tonight.
Bye AW--see ya Sunday...
Cool pic, CM!

Nancy, if you ever read this, my hybrid is black too. How old is your's?
THX for the board, THX
Damn renegade apostrophes......showing up unwantedly all over the plac'e

Ha Ha Ha Ha !!
LOL snow- my hubby thinks he should send Como a bill for raking all of zone 7, and another to Harriet for thatching the prairie grasses.
hahaha, ian.
Ian- was it a plastic tin with a red bandana containing a wooden egg????
Hey- Could somebody make the following web add. a URL? I don't know how. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~geoffo/humour/flattery.html
It's harmless, funny, and does what a computer should. Just type in your name when it asks.
Snow Mommy- read ian's post just a bit ago...
OK, Did somebody do that? Or did my 'puter do it? I'm sooo confused~!!

Check out the web site on post 16721
no, it was metal and had a notebook, pencil and small items.
Nice photo CM. Pandemonium of lights and leaves. Cell phones ringing, names being yelled out. Frenzy.
Good Evening!
Ian - Did I read somewhere that there is no electric at the pavillion? Could you call the parks office and ask them if they would turn them on?
For a short work day, this was a long one. Auditors - I just kept saying over and over again this afternoon while answering all their questions...they are just doing their job...they are just doing their job...they are just doing their job. UGH!!
Agreed, Allison.

hey, shovelmaster. don't leave us. like thx's tag line says. just because the hunt's not on doesn't mean that the board shuts down.
snowmommy, yep, the film crew was out there, they asked to film my compass...almost lost the group i was with, had a bunch of onlookers going NORTH IS THAT WAY! kinda sucked, but glad to be a part of it.
so when do we get the explanations? i wanna see how ridiculous they are
