2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

You were missed! Hope you're feeling better soon. You know the Hunt is afoot!

When you go to outline, there's a recent option.

On any normal hunt, we'd be waiting for the first clue about now.

OT - Me thinks this is not going to be a normal hunt.

Oh! And Don Boxmeyer was at the Pre-Dig Gig! How cooler is that!?!?!?!?!?!

Marley King - I see you on the who's here list. We missed you this evening. I was sooooo hoping you two would be there.

What was Boxmeyer doing there? Did someone invite him?

I'm not sure, but my guess is that someone invited him. It was such a wonderful surprise...and to think he thought enough of all this that he came to be a part of it.

He mentioned that this March it will be 40 years he's been with the Pioneer Press.

And he had heard the story about the earmuffs.

I hear he has written a column in tomorrow's paper about the hunt. Looking forward to reading that.

Me too. We will have to go out and pick up a paper tomorrow for sure.

That was the plan, I wanted to make sure I feel better when I need to be outside for a while in the coming days.

I hope you do feel better and we get to see you in the parks and the 9th annual rehash bash!

This hunter is going to go get some shut eye.

Goodnight and happy medallion dreaming to coolerheads everywhere!

Certainly an enjoyable evening spent with the Cooler Crew! Crowded and loud but enjoyable non the less. See you in the parks or at PP. Happy Hunting all. :cool:

Jake invited Don, and I was at the table when Jake grilled interviewed him. Very interesting and a great guy. Thanks Jake and thanks Don. Hope you DO come check us out.

~~This treasure hiding gig is serious business, complicated mightily because you have to stay a step ahead of such black belt hunters as the Camo Crue and the Cooler Crew, highly organized groups who go at their work with almost frightening zeal.~~

HEH

as Mr. news used to say...

this just in

I'm drunk

heh...

fun time.. glad to see almost everybody that I saw/talked to and even some who I didnt...

whatev...

personally i liked the basement last year... more space or whatever....

but what can ya do?...

I mean, when a big deal, major team, like the swarm take it over, you kinda have no other options....

Super Cooler seeing everybody earlier tonight!!

I'm sorry I couldn't make it earlier as I'm sure I missed a bunch of people. I'll make a thread and post the park guesses ASAP. I need to get a few things done around here first but your guesses are secure. I need confirmation from both Mappy and New Daddy though. PM me guys.

Being that I showed up later I feel like I was never able to fully blab with most of you the way I wanted to. Hopefully I'll be able to make up for it out at THE park. Cheers to another successful PDG!

If you're talking about "the park" on which I voted, with #31, you gotta deal...

look for me on the ripsaw roller-coaster or whatever... maybe the mighty axe....

Good Morning. Joel's surgery went very well. They went in from the front, and re-set the vertabrae, no need for pins or screws, or nuts or bolts. When he came to, both legs were moving. Thanks for all your prayers and support!

I missed the PDG, I suppose I'll just have to see you in parks! :smile:

KT - Glad the surgery went well and the legs were moving. That's a great sign.

And it's only 13.5 hours now before clue number 2 appears online.

Why did the clue come out so early yesterday? I'm assuming the usual time for online clues is going to be midnight?

Hope you all had a good time last night! Sorry we weren't able to come. See you all in the parks!

I have a question...In the separate clue folders, are they just for posting the clue? Or is it possible to have discussion about each clue in it's folder?

Thanks!

Glad to hear the good news KT!

GT - The clue folders will be used for posting the days bullet noodles for that particular clue. 3M has already started compiling them and has host access to those threads for posting them. He'll be taking people's noodles from this board and putting them in that thread to minimize the need for slogging to see what people have already came up with for that particular clue.

So in other words, if you have a noodle for a particular clue, just post it here and it'll get transferred over there. It just won't include all the chatter between the noodles is all.

Thanks 3M for doing this. I'll try to do what I can as well.

What a great time :smile:!

I was glad to see everyone.

Do you remember anyone? :eyeroll: :goofy: :wink:

Yeah baby....:smile: I would'nt give up last night for the world.

Was I there?

Dan has the park and location nailed.

Como. Frog pond.

He said if it's not there, he's not hunting. What a funny man.

yes

toomuch!!

welcome!!!

oh...I'd suggest you subscribe to the threads or folders you want to read...

take about 1 hr...you'll catch up

Ian - what is this from?? I LOVE it!

It from the special Winter Carnival section in today's paper. It an article written by Boxmeyer.

We missed you too KT! Hope his recovery goes well.

Morning all. Great time last night! Gotta ton of pictures, some postable some not. :wink:

I'll try to get some up soon, but may take a bit. Thanks to everyone who made last night a great time!

Too much. If your getting too many old messages, click on the glasses icon to mark as read, then only new messages will show up.

Welcome.

Thanks! I don't get the 'paper' version anymore and hadn't yet found it online!

Can you photoshop me into the PDG picture? Or creepymona? 'Cause I was there in spirit, you know.

KT, I think that can be done. Me2 was saying they were gonna somehow (stuff I don't understand) get MJ, TT, and LuLu in the group pic.

Where can I read Boxmeyer? I've not been able to find the article on line either. Could/would someone post a link?

KT, Mona's so you. Like Mike's that cute little squirrely thing.

I wish I could find an avatar that I like enuff to stick with sos that it never changed. I really, really miss my sparkley "Green" avatar. (sigh)

JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I know I drive folks nutz with my noodling. Known for nine years now.

But I'm still gonna noodle.

Reading my Mappy Gooey book... Found the following. *Not* that I think The Med's gonna be there, in an area like Mappy mentions, possibly.

Re: Hillcrest...

"This park is located next to the Highland Park Shopping Center on Ford Pkwy.

Many shops and restaurants close by."

Made me think o'the swarming Hunters and not being able to park.

You know... Continuing along the swarm/hard to park thighy... Kellogg Park. Talk about swarms and hard to park!

And sufficient ice (but I'm missing snow...) could be Xcel. Nah. That boat don't float. Gotta be ice *and* snow.

this may have been posted already, but where are they doing the snow and ice sculpting at?

seems like they move one of those things to someplace else, every year...

Isn't usually at Rice, Nick? Seems to me thass where ittiz every year, but I may be mistaken. And who's to say they can't/couldn't move to another park?

Did I read/hear they weren't going to do the sculptures this year due to the Global Warming? Or am I dreaming...

oh... yeah...

now that you mention it, I think I may have heard that about them not being able to get the blocks from Phalen for the ice sculpting, because its been too warm...

heh...

okay... scratch that Idea, then....

my original thought, was that maybe it was referring to wherever they were doing that stuff at...

So this year Rice is fair game when that's not been the case in years past...

Global Warming is keeping the sculpting away, and folks swarm all over Rice, and where's there to park?

Oh. Thanks, THX. Guess Rice is still off limits again.

Hay, THX. Missed you last nite. Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Nice to see you, and I hope you feel better soon so we see you oot'un aboot.

Snow sculpture is at the Roseville OVAL in Central Park.
