I have chosen for several reasons to only use my screen name NextFinder (PP) and then the one I just now created on here to post this year and in the future. Send me a private message if you want to know why.
I am not nor 100% confident I know who is shackbash or valleygirl as several assume. I do hope you all enjoy your hunt and look forward to seeing you out in the park!
Eric Langness
If it's not in woods or a big snow/ice bank, this won't be a long one.
Hi Eric - I think I saw ya last night but missed talking to you. See ya in THE park.
Damn duuude - I'm crying over here!!!!!! :goofy: :goofy: :goofy: :goofy:

It's been an awfully long time since I gave our children any fatherly advice. Here's my Christmas gift to them:
Top off the gas tank no matter how full it is. You're bound to need it.
To those of you who voted for the incumbent: You were warned.
Unless you paid extra to sit down in front, stay near the door. You never know how bad things are going to get.
Guys named Walt can still be trusted.
Do you have a flashlight? If not, take one of mine. You can never tell.
Forget what your mother said the last time you were here. We'll baby-sit anytime.
Take your binoculars along. Wherever you go.
And if you do go anywhere, please bring me back a road map. If you don't go anywhere, bring me back a road map.
Be frugal with your firewood. It doesn't grow on trees.
If you get lost, follow the guy in the truck. He ought to know where he's going.
What did we do before duct tape?
I hope you don't smoke, but carry a cigarette lighter.
Imagine life without electric garage-door openers.
A nice new bench grinder would make a good Father's Day gift for someone.
Stay off railroad tracks and out of caves, hospitals with "help wanted" signs in the window, and restaurants that advertise "home cooking" (if you wanted home cooking, you'd have stayed home).
Don't ever laugh at plumbers, garbage men or janitors. They don't have to wear neckties.
Be respectful of cab drivers. They know things the rest of us don't.
Your duck kebabs, Erik; don't ever let anyone tell you you're not a great chef.
If you have to cut corners, don't do it when you're buying tools, boots, powdered-sugar doughnuts or fishing line.
Stand clear of horses. Most of them want to bite you.
If the car you drive is old enough, no one will want to steal it.
I looked this up: You are not legally obligated to care what happens to the Minnesota Twins.
I still think Evinrude would be a great name for a yellow lab.
If the Artist Formerly Known as Prince ever comes back to town, do you mind if we don't go see it again?
We should remember to discuss global warming in the duck blind.
What did you all do before before Homer Simpson came into your lives?
Here are some things I'll have to tell you about someday: black-and-white TV, Bing Crosby, fallout shelters, Woodstock, Look magazine, phonograph records, John F. Kennedy and accordion music.
Nothing is more important when you're in a hurry than to take enough time to listen.
When you're young, you think you can walk on water; as you get older, you hope to stay afloat.
This has been your Christmas gift. I hope you don't spend it all in one place, and I want to thank you all again for staying off Oprah's show.

Hey Kitch, the medallion is in RAMSEY county.
weird glasses
Anyway, I'm a little late to the party it seems, but I have some ideas on the first clue. Upon reading through the first clue a couple times, I couldn't help but get the feeling it's at Rice Park. I know it seems unlikely, but it is possible. The Swarm thing, "hard to park," and the "snow and ice, enough to suffice" could be referencing the ice sculptures there.
Just a thought. It's only the first clue, so my guess is as good as anyone else's.
Good luck to everyone!

The nut of this years quest
Sweetest patty, never a baddie
covers the prize at rest
That kinda makes #1 a 3 day noodle! :eyeroll:
I'll tell the group down there. That's a great noodle! :grin:
Now onto another 24 hours before a clue.
We still don't know if we'll be digging in St. Paul or the 'burbs.
No kidding. The color red doesn't work for either a brown or white hunt.
At least with it inside out, you have a 50/50 chance.
I didn't want to put you on the spot. I just know that you don't go down to the PP is all. :smile:
I guess I'm going to call it a night.
Goodnight and SCDs to coolerheads everywhere.
...and an edit joe :sheepish:
We need to fill up on our sleep anyway. It's gonna be a long week lady.
