So what will this mean for next years hunt? a mix of easy and hard clues? Wonder if they made them super hard this year so they can ease up a little on next years?

Evenin', 'Heads!

That WAS a nice article from the LA Times!!! I wonder if the folks in CA are now saying, "Yeah. MN's the land of fruits and nuts..."

THX, Scribe may not make you hotdish, but I'll bet you anything that woman makes corned beef and Bubble and Squeak that bring tears to your eyes!!! And stew? Gods, bet her stew's TO DIE FOR!!! Beats hot dish any day.

KT, I like the name "Re-Hash Bash Hash!!!" That's way Cooler! Like Ian's "Sloppy Joe Medallions"!!! Sumbuddy makes the WORLD'S BEST Devils' Den Eags... I think I usually leave one or two for the rest o'you guys... Ter's been known a couple o'years to bring a salad "with Nuts (like us all) and sour grapes (because we're always singing the sour grape blues!)." I usually bring a chile-cheese dip that makes grown men scream in agony - I like hot chiles... But I usually end up eating it all!!!

This year, I was kind'a thinking about bringing "Pig's in a Poke." Doggies wrapped with bacon to grill out... Enkneebuddy know if anyone's bringing a grill/grills?

I think they took the lack of snow as a license to make the clues extra hard. Although I don't know that finding the thing in those woods was really any harder than digging through snow. But then again, without snow, that eliminated huge tracts of land for the most part.

Anyway, time for me to head out.

I'm starting to think it's all due to the youthful exuberance of Hollywood and those that have come to like her. She's so excited about the camraderie she found and now seems a bit desperate to cling to it.

Blair Witch got me. Thats it. I am starting to doubt what I saw, I thought that the guy was yelling for mike, but Jake says mike is the one that found it. One thing is for sure, this hunt was the best yet for me! I wish that the first 10 clues would have been less vague, but oh well. I look forward to the re-hash. We should get that John dude to get to the pavilian early and claim it for us (you know the one that was always 1st at the PP).

For those o'you that remember from Conway, I got a message and wanted to pass it on.

GrandMa Red's still around, but SuzyQ's in - ITALY! Can you believe THAT?!!!

I passed along the message of The Re-Hash Bash and hope it gets to GrandmMa Red...

Well, I think I'm going to bail from that site.

They're just acting weird.

I don't know what we did but they want no part of us.

Let them form their own group

Good Evening!

Too bad the PP posters got the wrong idea about the rest of us. I have no idea why they would think we're out for any thing other than the hunt, but I'm not really too worried about them taking over our bash.

Finally, we have a night without the kids!!!! Going to dinner and a movie - can't even remember how long it's been.

Daughter #1 has been invited to a sleepover Saturday night, and that might delay us just a bit in getting to the ReHash bash - but I'm sure we'll be out there by 1:00 for sure.

Still not sure what I'm bringing - considering hot artichoke dip, but will need to hit the grocery store and finalize tonight or tomorrow.

Catch y'all later.

It feels so empty without an upcoming clue to look forward to. I find I'm still trying to figure out those clues they gave us, and I can't for the lift of me make sense of the published explanations....

THX- you here? Is anyone else going to the vulcan's victory dance tomorrow night?

I know Rich will be there and I believe Camo Terry. That's all I know for sure.

Me, I just reserved our room at the hotel so I wouldn't have to drive home afterwards.

Evenin all! We'll also bring wood to the re-hash, I brought some down from up N last time I came down and it never got used. I haven't been on in a couple days(had to decompress), so I don't know what all others are bringing yet, so I'll have to get back to you on a food dish.

goin to slog 2000 posts...bbl

Input needed:

There's a guy named Rich that posts as Lilman (Met him through the PP boards), he's a DJ and wants to bring out his equipment to play music.

What do you all think of the idea?

I'm sort of indifferent but feel like others may not enjoy it much, so I wanted input from everyone.

Also, there's the fact that St Paul Parks & Rec is doing us a favor by giving us power and space at no cost. Do we really want to make this that kind of party?

I'm going to have to give this guy a yea or nay so let me know your thoughts.

I had a great time with this hunt! Yes, I was in the wrong park until clue 11, and some of the clues were pretty obscure, but I had fun! The scramble after clue 11, and the chaos after clue 12 are two things I'll never forget! I doubt we'll see 12 clues again for 5-7 years.

I remember talking to Marley at H.I. one afternoon.

We both just stood there going smiling at each other saying: "Well, I'm not sure but, I think it's here. But I'm not sure....".

I don't know about Marley but I didn't know what to think. I just couldn't picture it anywhere but H.I.

In hindsight, it's funny as hell.

I say nay. I want to talk to people, chat with them, socialize with them. If we want music, someone can bring a radio. I don't think anyone is going to dance though. Well, with this Puck Posse, maybe we're going to rumble like in West Side Story....

Two things were made quite obvious this year. Two? Yeah. No. Well...some things were made extremely obvious this year. They are things that we all know to a degree, but...well, here goes.

The clues were fabulous this year, right up until #11. Why keep everyone in the absolute dark ages, then give it ALL away in clue #11? Sure, we still didn't find it, and worse yet I don't think anyone could have possibly found it until the answers of clue #12. Why not have all of the clues, reasonably difficult, none of them giving the answer away so directly and really making them a tangled puzzle to be solved together? Just a thought...this no answers till the end and then every joe and his brother shows up bit has to end. If I see Kare 11 in the park next year, I might be arrested. Take care.
