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 think so, KT. And that's what I'm worred about, Kelly. If I stay up I'll feel like I have to read all the new noodles and I won't get to bed until 2:00.

I'm guessing it will be tossed from a hard ball path into some pile of snow and branches.

Bare as can be!

We'll be told it's between some trees in the snow and GOOD LUCK!

Dont take this as rude but I would like to think that I kicked the clue writers A%% and solved it on clue three telling jake where to find it. The explanation didnt even say anything about Level in Cleveland, they never admit to the good ones.

BM I'm getting a good laugh out of the people on the PP boards stiring up the stories about how it's all BS etc that someone would have figured it out so fast.

You rock man thats all someone can say about that.

You where definately a part of that kicking BM...

your original noodle and being in the park to tell jake. If you stayed at work and didn't meet up with Jake it would not have been found then.

Thanks!

Sounds like CoNo to me too.

Hard to believe they would put it there and then give it away so early...but then again, this has been no ordinary hunt.

Brassmonkey

man, Como... Is there anyway that could be a red herring? Just so obvious. Then again it is a huge park.

KC0GRN

told ya it'd be como..

that or else they'll make it sound like it so they can hold the hunt over till the weekend. Then they can say "haha, fooled you"

that or else it is at como, and either they count on a difficult hide, or just don't care and want to prove a point to all the anti-como hunters.

Flora with growing pains would be the expansion of the conservatory.

You know flora with growing pains could be wither a florest near by, or thinking to current events of the freeze over of the fruit crops.

menagerie - Menagerie is the term for a historical form of keeping wild and exotic animals in human captivity and therefore a predecessor of the modern zoological garden.

The term was foremost used in seventeenth century France originally for the management of the household or domestic stock, but later primarily for an aristocratic or royal animal collection. The Encyclopédie Méthodique of 1782 defines a menagerie as an "établissement de luxe et de curiosité." Later on the term was referred even to travelling animal collections that exhibited wild animals at fairs across Europe and the Americas.
