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

Just out of curiosity why does everyone hate the idea of the puck being at como? ( which it is not) I have noticed this for a few years.

Also just wanted to say that I enjoy this board alot more than the pp because it doesnt have all the yada yada crap.

as this was my first year attending the pre dig , just wanted to thank everyone for a great time. :pbpt:

I am sold on Central park. The clues fit and it has to be there. I was wondering about a bonfire at any of the parks tonight? I think that since it is butt-cold, it might be a nice thing to do. Central Park does have a nice fire pit and I think that tonight's clue will make that the obvious park.

Because the park is so huge it's hard to narrow down a spot until very late in the game. For people that spend time interpreting the earlier clues, that sucks, because they have to contend with the masses that get out there when it's obvious.

Also, because it's been at Como one too many times :ooh:

Maybe the medallion has significant shrinkage and that is why it is so hard to find! "They shrink?" "Like a frightened turtle!"

I was at both Phalen and central today , with me central has a close lead at this point.

A fire is absolutley needed tonight.

I'm sick of CoNo. Ittiz always at CoNo. Shows a lack of intelligence and knowledge of history. and an abundance of laziness on the part of the CW.

CoNo's where the Med's continusly put because the CW is not 'into' doing this. S/he can write lousey clues - such as these this year where there's not even a mention of murderess, an iconclast, no dome/mode - and get away with it because the park's so damn big. Even with horrid clues the hunt will take forever.

CoNo's been done so many effin' times were down to doing just clues of features in the park.

Thanks reg! Good to see you here again.

It may have come across bitter, but I'm actually more calm and into CoNo than I have been in years past.

It just would be more fun noodling clues on park that's never been done or small because we all know CoNo ("If you knew CoNo like I know CoNo..." Has a nice ring!) by heart.

Oh how I long for the days of Boxmeyer and Millett. Those were the best damn hunts ever.

I don't mind Como at all. As a matter of fact, I don't really mind any park. At this stage, I just want to be confident about a park! Beggers can't be choosers, right?

What's all the hemming and hawing about? Are you not sure that she's a girl, or not sure that she's your friend? :pbpt:

We will have supplies for a fire at whatever park the clue tells us. At this point, it will probably be Central, but that could change.

I'm just considering that the groin pains might be from the swatting of the orbs.

He didn't have a GPS, but he did have a cell phone that went dead when he tried to call trent. He had to wait till he got back to his car to tell trent he found it. Makes me wonder if that 2 lines are talking about Jake

Mounds itself is a sweet candy bar.. I like mounds as much as i like phalen and of course everything fits at Conmo... I hope tonight brings us to one park and one park only.
