Recent Clues: 
 


 

Clue #1 Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder 
To hunt hard from first to last clues 
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery 
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes 

To some its demented, for all unprecedented 
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched 
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another 
In a park where a body can be benched 

Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half 
So get out there even if it’s snowy 
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus -- 
A meal with our own Clueless Joey 

Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue 
Think of a woodsy retreat 
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard 
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet
Clue #2 If you\'re thinking big you\'re sure to dig 
Near flora with growing pain 
Winter or summer is never a bummer 
A menagerie of fun wild or tame
Clue #3 Success on the third clue will never do 
We had to stash a second 
Round you go if you seek to know 
Where swatters of orbs are beckoned
Clue #4: A walk in the park can be a lark 
If cell phones are left at home 
Heed the siren of your desirin\' 
And do not revolt against this poem
Clue #5 Over hill and dale hit the trail 
With a handy locating device 
Fulfill your wishes like loaves and fishes 
And put your victory on ice
Clue #6 A famous singer and a diamond dinger 
Might put you oh so close to the spot 
With the whites of your eyes you should look for the prize 
Within this convenient plot
Clue #7 Don\'t turn up your noses at the city of roses 
The home of the park that you seek 
It\'s just north of town so come on down 
Our hunt is not for the meek
Clue #8 Don\'t go mental just head for Central 
Lexington Avenue will show you the way 
Your spirits won\'t sag when you see the big flag 
Into the trees you want to stray

From what I understood the Med left the PP in the middle of the news conf.

Jake had it in his hand for the first half and I believe they took it while he was still talking.

One has to wonder if that same puck was being hidden and if so, how far would they be willing to go with it??

Can they avoid leaving clues behind like foot prints etc?

I'm going to check out Linwood. Like that Avon runs into it. It was my first instinct, and got to go with your first instinct. At first anyway. :wink:

quickest way to have a longer hunt is toss it back in the woods in a larger park. It's best if the location isn't even specific.

The clue explanations must be posted but I can't find them at twincities.com. Can someone else?

Sorry, didn't mean to get all that other stuff in there. But holy cow! Can you imagine the chaos if it had gone 12??

I remember the '65 hunt at Como that had people pacing off and it was crazy! Bumping into people and trying to stay on course. I was very pregnant that hunt and was slogging through knee high snow. I had that baby on Feb. 13.
