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

Well, I'm off my rocker, I fell out of my tree

I've been standin' on shaky ground

There's no helping me, yeah

I can't remember my number

I can't remember your name

I can't remember all the trouble I'm in, child

(Chorus)

Well, I'm insane (repeat)

You don't go looking for trouble

Well, I'm all the trouble you need

You don't go looking for bad love

You got it guaranteed, yeah

I can't see no colors

I can't play your games

I should've listened what my momma said, child

(Chorus)

I'm insane (repeat)

Solo

You lock me up in a padded room

Chain me to the floor

Well, I'm headed for lobotomy

And I'm beggin' them for more

That medallion looks pretty beat up for being new. Did you all chew on it or something? :eek:

Just got back from running errands. Took a drive through IM to see if the spotter was there today. Someone's parked there, but different vehicle. :ooh:

And shut up! I was out that way anyway. :sheepish:

Hey Kitty someone on the PP boards said they have your Maglite

Jake didn't make it to Acorn before I left. One digger and a couple of 'golfers.'

Yeah. Rite. How tall is Soucheray?

Two guys started out at a far hole, not #1, and said they'd been there 10 mins when I asked how long they'd been in the park. I asked them if they were on vacation and they said, "Sorta." Asked how Holes 1-X went for them and they said they didn't do them, started with the one they were on... Asked them where they worked and they waved off west and said, "Over there."

Very suspicious. Was going to go back and grill them some more and figured maybe it wasn't the safest thing to do...

So, if you [guys at Central] don't get "No Lexington" for "Don't revolt," what do you get? And what do you get for "come on down" for crying out loud?

Saw this at PP board.

Come on down anagrams to Down en Como :worried: :cool:

First letter of each line of Clue 7 anagram to Do it! :smile:

Personally, I don't think an anagram. I think a bit easier.

I must be the world's worst noodler.

Am I the only person that got Rice Street for "come on down"?

I haven't heard it anywhere else, green, but that does not make you a bad noodler!

2. A really cute yellow lab named Woody.

3. Lots of rocks

4. Lots of snow

5. Lots of everything but the medallion.

I met a Golden puppy at Acorn named like Killian or something like that.

Oh! And I DUG up something sweet! A Kit-Kat bar! Actually dug it up! Very cool.

Dig - good noodling. There's been lots of good noodling here this year.

I still like my cell-less noodle for Como.

Too bad I can't make that fit anywhere in Roseville.

oh yeah. ran into a smooth-coated tri-color collie too. usually the only place you see smoothies is at show.

I still miss our sheltie Poko, though he'd be gone by now.

But our lab is a whole new game and we are sure enjoying him. He's smart enough to get into trouble and smart enough to get out of it again.

nope. someone else walking down the street with their dog. i didn't think zena was a collie either.

of course he wasn't nearly the beaut that our tri, nadia is. didn't have a full mane. on the other hand, he had that perfect collie demeanor.

I didn't think Zena was a collie either, but I've never seen a short haired collie so.... :pbpt: But I guess they should at least have a pointed snout. :goofy:

Your pups are beautiful, ares.

Something really strange happening at PP board. People are responding to posts from as far back as 2004. :chagrin:

I'll never get through all of them. :frown:

Aren't the boards from previous hunts archived and locked or something??

It's pretty much every thread I've tried to read so far. Very confusing. I'm marking everthing "as read" now. :goofy:

The recent posts are current. But if you look back at what they're responding to, most of them are from years past.

Do you maybe have "All" showing under "Show Discussions" on the left side, above the messages?

I've got "Discuss The Clues" showing there.

No, I've got with Unread messages. Tater was in there complaining about it too in some thread. I've marked everything as read now and maybe folks will stop responding to them and they'll go away.

I was thinking it was because shakbash was posting new messages in old posts wich would bring them to the top.
