I've been hunting for the medallion for the last few years, hoping this year to find it, as does everyone else I'm sure :)
In the spirit of this years hunt, I made a 3D rendering of the snowman with the spyglass that the pioneer press has used as a logo for the hunt. Use it or pass it around as you like, and happy hunting!
Good to see ya MedQueen! I think you summed it up pretty well.
unless the forecast changes, these clues will be generic til about the 5th or 6th clue which will make a lot of us happy just having a hunt that lasts longer than last years!
we want to be challenged! we want this hunt to be intense,
green!!!! so good to have you back here among us. btw, me2 and i have hijacked eags' joe. they're ours now :)
no offence intended eags :)
as for the clue, here's what we know. its on public land in ramsey county, with the exception of the capitol grounds. i think the reference to parked, makes for a safe assumption that its in a park. possibly near a church somewhere because of the faith reference.
Main Entry: 1barb Pronunciation: 'bärb Function: noun Etymology: Middle English barbe barb, beard, from Middle French, from Latin barba -- more at BEARD Date: 14th century 1 : a medieval cloth headdress passing over or under the chin and covering the neck 2 a : a sharp projection extending backward (as from the point of an arrow or fishhook) and preventing easy extraction; also : a sharp projection with its point similarly oblique to something else b : a biting or pointedly critical remark or comment 3 : 2BARBEL 4 : any of the side branches of the shaft of a feather -- see FEATHER illustration 5 : a plant hair or bristle ending in a hook
we've got plenty of pictures to post, eags. most of them will probably be on coolercrew.
note to self: introduce current digital camera to the business end of a baseball bat. take it back to best buy using the replacement plan and get something that takes better pictures in the dark.
ya know, camo, i was actually thinking that at mcg's last nite. i would so love to just ask him to write up a set of clues for a mock hunt sometime. i really would.
I have often thought that Joe would be a great clue writer, especially because he loves the winter carnival. However, I am wondering if it is Nick Coleman.
btw, jake, me2, medkids and i are famous. we were on channel 4 this morning. i'm gonna record it to the computer, and seek permission from 'cco to distribute the clip on the web.
I think it's just wonderful!!!! Too bad the reporter didn't have a clue! HAIL THE VULC!!!!!!! ..........A thought. Message for the CAMOCRUE....CODE BLUE!!!!!!
Great to have slept in this morning, but missed the spot on 'CCO. Glad you taped it Ares.
Interesting that everyone seems to think the cruelest crew part of the clue is a jab at the Cooler Crew. I actually think it's just a play on words to indicate that nothing is crueler than someone finding the medallion early. The PP also likes these hunts to go longer as it keeps people buying the paper and keeps their advertisers happy too.
I also think that it indicates they are telling us they are trying harder this year and hopefully we'll have a longer hunt.
In the end, what is better for the PP is a bunch of obsessed hunters participating in their events each night.
Good observations Terry..BTW, this is Scribe, I was to lazy to re-log in. It was good to hang with the girls last night, they're the greatest! So what was the deal with Ian? Ian, my good friend, it did not occur to you in all those hours to ask a bartender or waitress where we were? MEN! They NEVER will ask for directions,not even in a bar! I was asking where you were ALL NIGHT!! Hope to see you at the PP tonight!

Oh Medallion, Where Art Thou?
Hello all,
I've been hunting for the medallion for the last few years, hoping this year to find it, as does everyone else I'm sure :)
In the spirit of this years hunt, I made a 3D rendering of the snowman with the spyglass that the pioneer press has used as a logo for the hunt. Use it or pass it around as you like, and happy hunting!
Ahh the first clue the hunt is on I have the medallion in my sights.
Thats excellent Joel! Thanks for sharing with us! Would you mind if we used it on the Cooler Crewsite?
Good luck and happy hunting!
Oh, Leelabell posted a poem yesterday, was wondering if we could use that too (forgot to ask you at the pre-dig).
You guys gotta send us all this great stuff! :-)
Hi E.S.Digger! Yep, gotta keep the
targetprize in sight! G'Luck and G'night!noticed that the first letter of each of the four lines is:
AT FT
are we going to be led someplace again, I'm not so sure yet, but I always get suspicious when I see an AT popup as the beginning letters of a puzzle.
HI back at ya huntres Im off to pickup the paper to clip the first clue. By all and good luck to the crew.
Good to see ya MedQueen! I think you summed it up pretty well.
unless the forecast changes, these clues will be generic til about the 5th or 6th clue which will make a lot of us happy just having a hunt that lasts longer than last years!
we want to be challenged! we want this hunt to be intense,
I like the way you think!
Just got back with the paper look liked thay go ticked with the crew, should be a good long hunt. Yes!!!!
I think it's Highland, Mounds, or Phalen.

Looks like the paper threw a jab at the various treasure hunting factions that lit them up after last years botched hunt..a thought.
let them throw jabs, man.
at least we'll get a decent hunt this time.
Whoops, Ma Press is pissed! hee hee
Guess what? It is in a park. Did everybody get that?
RANDOM CAMO THOUGHT
Maybe the mayor of Garage Logic is writing the clues? It has a little more creative look.....A thought.
ya know, camo, i was actually thinking that at mcg's last nite. i would so love to just ask him to write up a set of clues for a mock hunt sometime. i really would.
'mayor of Garage Logic' - 'more creative'
What is the connection?
I have often thought that Joe would be a great clue writer, especially because he loves the winter carnival. However, I am wondering if it is Nick Coleman.
Artemis - go ahead and use the poem.
not allie. i know where me2's gonna be though.
btw, jake, me2, medkids and i are famous. we were on channel 4 this morning. i'm gonna record it to the computer, and seek permission from 'cco to distribute the clip on the web.
Shoot, I forgot to watch. I would love to see it.
I think it's just wonderful!!!!
Too bad the reporter didn't have a clue!
HAIL THE VULC!!!!!!!
