Funny you guys were talking about flash lights. I just woke up and thought for a second I might have rolled over mine.

But now it's nowhere to be found. :goofy:

I wanna get one of those Star Wars - light-saber toys that Target and Wally World, and wherever have....

whens the last time you saw someone using one of those as a flashlight, during a hunt?

I won't tell her if you don't.

btw, I just recieved a call and the cost to ship my hoe to me is 38 dollars :angry:

This better be one hell of a hoe for 81 dollars, I'm not used to spending that much, I live in Cottage Grove.

I'd like to give my top 10 for my park list

but I'm afraid I'd give up some good ideas for the pool.

We might need to find somebody else in charge of it...since CM could still be gone :frown:

I finally figured it out:

geocacher merkong is frogtownkid at PP. Anyone remember seeing that name on any of the old threads? ares, can you search?

Remember, while Highland looks huge, most of the area you see on a map as park is golf course. The area by the picnic tables where it would most likely be hidden was closed in 2005 for renovations. One can still get in and out of there, but I think it should be lower on a preliminary list because it really isn't "open", and they just re-did a bunch of it, making less likely that they want us all in there.

That said, I'm rooting for it, as it's nearby.

It'll be there soon enough Dave, Soucheray lives right over there according to Jake.

Yes, Soucheray lives there. But, we know who is writing the clues this year and it isn't him. Remember who talked to PayMe and Me2 during the flag hunt.

doesn't mean the MAN is writing them again...

yep...did the summer hunt...but he didn't say he was going to do it this winter....

tim_the_hunter

Soucheray was on vacation at that time.

Don't get me wrong, I hope to god he is writing them, but I doubt it. Remember why he quit? If he is doing it now, it's with a new partner that no one knows. I just think it would be harder to sneak around in his current age/health.

We should be able to tell by the clues.

soucheray or boxmeyer

Boxmeyer and Millet, just like the old days. But, we should be able to tell by the clues.

tim_the_hunter

well if it's boxmeyer I don't think millet is helping him. someone younger, more able to go up that hill at IM.

too many people knew it was him. and his health was deteriorating.

yep...

that spot wouldn't have been that hard to tell somebody to take this line....go this far up and stuff it undersomething.

leelabell

Yep, remember in 03 or 04 he was in the hospital for the whole hunt.

I really hope they write the clues. The interim writer (KK?) sucked. And, if Soucheray does it now, he is basically an unproven concept. Also, I don't think he wants to write the clues because he is so known and visible.

I would rather have a visible Boxmeyer, who's proven that he gets it, than someone new.

Maybe he can write clues for like the next 20 years and the PP can just stockpile.

And in the mean time, he can have some apprentice that will learn under him.

they should just find AW and have him do it.
