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

I agree, Ian -- way cooler map :smile:.

And Redbear -- Awesome idea setting up the conference call for everyone! If this is something that you can set up (fairly) easily and it won't get you into trouble, maybe it can be utilized earlier next time around?

Sadly, I can't make the trek out (again) tonight. Maybe I'm getting older, maybe it's this cold, just not my year....I can hardly hold my eyes open, and I didn't even come out one night this year!!

But I'll be there in spirit -- I can see the locust action now. First thing that I thought of when I read that (last clue) was the mosh pit at Phalen, and then that crazy year at Como....be safe out there - don't get trampled....but FIND the flipping thing!

Coolerheads will prevail!!

Okay, I'm reading the PP boards and there is a lot of talk of the medallion being in Como and another "mystery" park. Any takers, here?

Otis,

You're so kind to set up this conference call. THANK YOU:) Now, which side of the park should I be on... lexington or victoria? I am REALLY torn.

another "mystery" park.

The park would be Bruce Russell. I thought of that idea earlier, and rejected it.

inasuitcase,

I didn't set it up. That was Redbear.

I'm just making sure people have the info if they want it since I'm stuck at work.

Anything to get the crew a victory.

Thanks Otis and Ian:) Ian, will there finally be a chance to meet you tonight?

King Boreas aka Ian

ok, i've officially decided to pass tonight's mayhem. I was at Como, and Phalen. Yes, it's awesome, but scary.

good luck to the crew. if any of y'all are there at dawn, I'll see ya then.

for now, it's kick back, crack open a Gluek's Stite, and virtually enjoy the show.

Any last minute parkers might want to consider Brooks.

There is a path into the park from the street.

Thanks, Otis! I just noodled the "woodsy retreat" with that map. "Aglen."

I don't think it will be on the lake, think about it, everyone runs onto a lake which has a filtration system, and into a lake which froze over late, whats wrong with that?

tom, there will always be stupid people out there (even though the press wouldn't put it on the lake). both yesterday and today i saw people out walking across the lake. camo dan said a guy was out with his golden retriever in the open water area of the lake about 6 feet from the water. the dog was loving it but the guy was a moron.

I would realy love to go out tonight and dig, but I have work early in the morn, and finding a parking spot will be a pain in the a$$- I should take my vacation around madilan time, instead I take it in March, and loose my shirt in Vegas.

thank you for that noodle, brassmonkey is on his way overright now. I'll let him know. He thinks your noodleing is great :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

blackcat - you have no idea how much green will enjoy reading that. She's come a long, long way!

We went out to Central. Saw Becksie and her sister, and Timmers by the fire. Decided to try to find a place to dig. Went around and dug a bit around the trees near the rocket. Seemed already so picked through that we moved on.

Ran across Map Guy and chatted with him a bit. He left, we went around a bit more and decided to high tail it out of there before the onslaught.

On our way out, two women in a car were having a pizza delivered. How clever is that?!?!

If it hasn't been found tonight, we may very well be back out in the morning.

I think I'm getting older. Night digging is for the birds. Hard to tell what you're kicking up.

OTiS - Will you be able to post the clue here once those in the field are taken care of with that conference call?

Thanks to the Bear for setting that up. And thank you OTiS for manning the setup.

If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane and let's be

honest, we've all been there......

1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.

2. Remove your laptop.

3. Boot it.

4. Make sure the guy who won't leave you alone can see the screen.

5. Open this message.

6. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.

7. Then hit this link: http://tinyurl.com/e8efm
