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
To hunt hard from first to last clues

You told someone something, and they went and found it. Imagine how I felt in 2004 when I told everyone that the med was by the tree in crosby. :frown: I told everyone that listened, yet none of us found it. :frown:
At least you got a T shirt. :wink:
I do like the part about hiding it in the same park 2 times in a row, because that certainly would be unprecedented
Confusion and resolution in the woods is another favorite Shakespearean theme. In As You Like It the exiled Duke and his men live in the forest like the outlaws of Two Gentlemen. A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Cymbeline all have climactic scenes in the woods. In Shakespeare's earlier play, the magical woods harbor Two Gentlemen's comic outlaws. In the later plays, inhabitants range from fairies, to humans disguised as fairies, to royal humans unwittingly disguised as common humans. The forest always surprises and delights the characters and the audience. All of these elements in Two Gentlemen come from tales and plays familiar to Shakespeare. The multitude of sources may account for puzzles in the script. Inconsistencies about location, time, and dramatis personae may be hold-overs from the source material.
A lot of people are mentioning the name Henry in relation to Shakespear.
Henry park = woodsey retreat
If that makes you feel worse, then it means something else entirely... :smile:

And, in internet speak, it is considered shouting.
I'm not trying to be nasty to you or anything, I just would prefer you type in small case like the majority of posters do. I'm just asking nicely.
It is just harder to read when all the text is in capital letters. And in many internet forums, it gets interpreted as if YOU ARE SHOUTING. Not picking on you, mind you. Just answering a question. You did find the private message feature, so I figure you are pretty savvy. It's a good tool.
I'm guessing it still has something to do with Avon, but tonight's clue could change that.
I also stop doing laundry and cleaning the house after clue 3- does this mean I need to resume these chores?
 I would imagine we may have one like it tonight as well... or a little later on down the line to catch the 12 clues up to the 9 clue pace.
many of us coolers hunt as a group and have a pre nup of sorts that if the group (3 or 4 of us who always hunt together) finds it we split it etc......if someone in my little group found it i wouldnt care to get the dough but would be happy for them - but on the flipside if I found it and was hunting with said group i would divvy it up somehow as long as the taxes were split equally etc......
dont be sickened or have regrets - this is about fun.
Channel the bard is really Channel: the bard. So, I read the Sonnets, specifically sonnet 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 17, 23 and 29. Here's Sonnet number 5:
Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel:
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter and confounds him there;
Sap cheque'd with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'ersnow'd and bareness every where:
Then, were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it nor no remembrance what it was:
  But flowers distill'd though they with winter meet,
  Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.
So, based on that, we've got what I think is a fairly Glaring reference to the conservatory at Como.
OR...it's in a flower bed...You'll smell pretty sweet...
From Romeo and Juliet, "...by any other rose would smell as sweet" or something like that.
wolf - the explanations always suck dont they :smile:
I would read that as it could be anything.
Does that mean that the last paragraph is the only important one?
It's now part of what drives me.
The rest is filler stuff to explain why they did a 2nd hunt.
Did someone else actually post "level" was in the streetname Cleveland. Cuz when I searched I could not find anyone?
