I just saw Soucheray in his car in the parking lot at Battle Creek Magnet school!

For those that don't know, it's a dead end parking lot so it's unlikely he was there by accident.

This could be huge!

Get me info or updated stuff you want on coolertimes soon. While I'll be able to access the page from the field I don't plan to be messing with it all that often while hunting :smile:

blowtis-

can you change the picture of the side of my head to this one...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Also can you change the words?

Hunt history- been hunting since 98.

Favorite hunting tool- Gonkulator.

Closest I have ever been to the medallion- within 2 feet and moving towards it at Crosby in 05, left the spot because I released a nasty Chipotle Burrito fart.

Favorite hunting partner- my dad. close second is OTiS, the big teddy bear.

Favorite medallion hunting book- The one by Mr. Med Hunter

Favorite Map book- hudsons street atlas. distant second is mape gui's book.

Perpetual hunt prediction: Battle Creek

I'll send ya the stuff in a lil bit... as soon as I can get it re-worded right, and can decide on a picture to use...

facepaint wise, every picture ive seen looks pretty cool... but I dare anyone to find a "cool" picture of me without the stuff on....

I like to avoid cameras as much as possible....unless i'm the one taking the pictures/videos

Hows this?

tim_the_hunter

If it hadn't been for that I am 100% certain I would have found it. I was literally on line going towards it and had gone about 10 feet starting at the base. I ended 2-3 feet away from where the medallion was found. What was I doing? flipping up all the bark that was frozen to the ground. If you remember, it was under one of those pieces.

I'll vouch for that.

Actually I thought the fart is what made the bark fall off in the 1st place, wasn't it?
Sat, 01/07/2006 - 10:45 AM Permalink
mrmnmikey

Yea! Now I remember! We would have found it just laying there, if it wasn't for Tim's fart!

Imagine that last post, being told to you.... in a scary sounding voice....late at night... near a fire pit, in a heavily wooded park

would it scare you away from hunting that night?

If so, I plan to rely on it heavily, during this years festivities....

I have to believe the pay to post thing will keep the new site from attaining any sort of widespread popularity this year. I'm inclined to believe it will be mostly the people who stick around all year that will consider it a worthwhile investment. And then there are some people posting here potentially and on my Yahoo group and the PP boards, and there are probably some other places to go as well. It should be an interesting year.

It's all a crap shoot anyway in terms of actually finding the thing. The only people who really lose in the treasure hunt are the ones that don't have fun with it.
