2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Oh no! Think of all the wrappers they'll leave on the ground. :worried:

morning - burrrrrrrrrrrrr its #)&%# COLD outside!!!!!!

Art- nice joke

I think Im gonna join yah 3m, I'll maybe pop out there about 2 as well - gonna go into work for a bit first

nice noodling-

2:00 pm, a rendezvous of last years' early patrollers? Hmmm

Wow! Forcast for today in the 30's and then 40's the rest of the week.

just drove through highland and linwood

no snow cover on south side of park

no parking at Highland at all along 7th or windy hill.

won't be out there at 2 with you 3m- gonna hit somewhere else -

OK>..I know I'm going to go diggin' deep into this clue...

but thinkin' we nailed the clue in about 20 secs. has me worried....

so...

this is "son of pear" per the CIA

the area on the south side of highland is where they dump all the grass clippings...could be tough in that crap.

parking is basically next to the golf course.

its a craphole...so #1 on my list.

Verification for clue 2.

Son of Pear = Pearson

rearrange the letters. Guaranteed it.

Oh...I know.....

but its just no fun!!!

anyways...its not an "anagram" left over letters with "OF"

hmmmm

sonofpear.... anagram??

I don't like you can take out "FARE" and still have snoop and spoon....

I know its not an annagram it is just a play on words. Son of Pear / Pearson

<-------don't mind me...I'm just going to have my own kinda fun today ripping this bad boy aprt....its gets me thru the day....

I'll twist it so bad its unreal...

Not sure I like the obvious; telling us what it's hidden in. Expect a lot of nut goodie wrappers around the park. Just like all the dove boxes at como

damn shame the boxmeyer article isn't online. i wanted to re-read it again today. :frown:

fare ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fâr)

intr.v. fared, far·ing, fares

To get along: How are you faring with your project?

To go or happen: How does it fare with you?

n.

A passenger transported for a fee. Food and drink; diet: simple home-cooked fare.



oh for lord's sake...what am I going to do today????

work?? :eyeroll: :eyeroll:

how do you get pearsons nut goodie?

sounds like a bit of a stretch to me

This might be the first ever clue that I can't twist to make it fit something else....

but I might try :wink:

I don't know if they've done it in past years, but this year it says that it's not on construction sites. It made me wonder if it's going to be Highland and they're telling people to stay off construction sites. But then again, every year people think it's at Highland, so they have to save their butts and tell them it's not there.

didn't last year we "noodle" a "salted nut roll" somehow???

I remember looking at the pearson's website for something....

maybe it was to get the big bar for zeph...

Well it's either that or between two "thx is a fairy" buttons.

Didn't they donate a box of nut rolls to send to Zephy? I thought Treasure Chest had gotten it from them. That may be what you were looking at or got your attention.

they said construction sites were off limits last year too, for whatever that's worth.

they donated a box of nut goodie's fot he cause.

Okay, then I'm not going to worry about it too much. It's not really about the park, but about the people not quite smart enough to stay out of construction sites while looking for the treasure.

oh and of those there are a plenty!

And their is a pool in Highland ........going with the kids theme

there is the Charles Shultz ice arena at Highland-

when I drove through there thismorning I did see the construction area for the new building- interesting

remember when they said stay off Capitol Grounds cause they used the Dome clue? this reminds me of that

GRRRRR ):confused:#$)%@&% I feel so nausiated -- I swear its this hunt-

you been sick alot lately???? prego???

bwah! :eek:

I dreamt last night that I was in boxmeyers article. how exciting til I woke up :frown:

I dream that i'm in articles every night...

you know...

porno mags and whatever, that are aimed at chicks....

thats what those are for...

the articles.

where's the list of picks from the pool?

damn... its supposed to be 40 on thursday....

If this thing lasts that long, the medallion might just melt, due to too much hot weather....

either that, or the candy wrapper its in, will become rather messy, and sticky....

I dont care how much its worth....I dont want chocolatey fingers.

CM will post that after he gets verification from New Daddy and someone else. He's just double checking to be sure everything is correct.

Finally, a clue I can figure out! LOL!

How about the possibility of the med being buried in a snowplow pile of snow? That would be "sufficient" snow to hide the med through the run of the hunt.

It was rather funny. Got that paper last night and by line two I was saying the same thing everyone else was.

I just had to sit down and worry for a bit.

It's almost to easy.

Did a quick runby of Highland yesterday, during the day. Not because of clue #2, which wasn't yet out, but because it's nearby.

There is some construction, but not as much as I had thought. There is quite a bit of undisturbed area there, and the bridge over Montreal is now open on both ends.

I had personally ruled it out, but upon further review, I think it is just as likely as any other place. Really much bigger than meets the eye from the road.

All I have to add is that I really prefer the salted nut roll.

hey... I had one or two ( :pbpt: )of those in Iraq... The guys from Louisiana had never heard of them. They loved them.

HINT HINT TO ALL PEARSON CANDY PEOPLE HINT HINT

A NEW MARKET!!!

Thanks to whoever set that up with them last year!

Pearsons Nut Goodie seems like a stretch?

First line - Son of Pear (Pearsons)

Second Line - ...Nut... (Nut)

Third line - ...baddie, which is opposite of (Goodie)

Pearson Nut Goodie is covering the prize. Period. It couldn't be easier.

A box??? it was like 12 cases...

 They lasted about 3 days... :pbpt:

288 of them if i remember it correctly, and i tell ya it was damn hard to ensure that 288 of them made it to you guys :smile:

Tim was teasing...he knows what he's talking about...

Oh, wait... just in case LA Mommy shows up... it was just 10 cases... (her nephew was my roommate, and I hid 2 cases for my own personal stash)

hmmm...zephy's clue?? zephy's hunt???

:wink:

I am all for that.... Boxmeyer said I was gonna love it...

It must be at Hidden Falls, in a hole in a tree, which would keep the snow and ice intact... in eyeshot of the parking lot.... oops, I said too much :worried:

Are you supposed to clip each individual clue from the paper, or can you clip the compiled listing? :chagrin:

you can have the compiled listing......

Thanks, Kitch. Tomorrow's trash pick up day so I didn't want to toss my papers if they were needed for the clue.
