It was fine out there, until about 10 mins before they let us in for the clue...

I think we all started freezing up, with anticipation...

I agree, I am surprised it wasn't lost forever.

Why would you hide it so close to open water regardless of how big or small the stream is?

Imagine how mad people would be if it was never recovered and it floated away downstream.

Say - My apologies for last night if I talked to much on the conference call. My phone's battery is ridiculously sensitive to the cold - I had it buried deep in my coat and digging the thing out to mute it was a real hassle.

I'm sure in the cluewriter's defense, they had it hidden at the base of a tree, and a careless searcher brushed it into the creek.

Still, to have it that close doesn't seem like a good idea.

I just tested mine and it doesn't float, but it doesn't sink like a rock either. It sounded to me not so much like it was floating as it just bobbed to surface as it was disturbed. After which it probably would have sunk again and taken quite a while to make its way downstream.

I made a CC group on Facebook since I hadn't found one except the cache one. I hope that's okay. I made Zephy an admin without even asking him :pbpt:

You can search in groups in facebook. I just called it Cooler Crew. I added a bunch of you as friends too.

I just got a call from 3M. He says the press conferemce just ended and now everyone is heading back to Swede Hollow along with the finders to see where it was. He didn't say if there was a plan after that.

It wasn't hidden in the creek. Most likely someone was digging near the creek and threw their clumps into the creek along with the medallion. There were a few Coolers who saw people doing that.

Just a few minutes ago. Facebook usually takes a while to process stuff.

Haven't decided. Depends on how many peeps will be there, it's like a 45 min drive for me.

I did add you as a friend. Your hubby too. He accepted first :wink:

Congrats to the finders! The MedHedz will be at Yarusso's at 7pm WITHOUT the vests so bring your cameras :smile:

Hate to say it but I'm relieved it's over. Too much time in one park makes it seem like FOREVER...

nick i was wondering if it was you that got mentioned in the paper:

Another hunter, about 10 feet away, didn't notice what had transpired.

sounds like what you'd described.

My wife has been sucked into Facebook. I got into it for the sake of my High School 20th reunion this summer. Now she's mad because I refused to let her sister become my 'friend'. I told her the only people in my group share a diploma that I got 20 years ago, and that is all I want to ever have in there.
