2009 - Swede Hollow

from pp board.. somewhat interesting

"now at rest" anagrams to "on Water St"

Spent a bit of time in the Hollow, ran into a few other Coolers and a few generic hunters...didn't quite check the entire park, so it may still be there...that hillside would make a memorable final clue rush! :ooh:

I'm still convinced Swede is one of the few parks hinted at that's meant to completely throw everybody off.

I keep having this sneaking suspicion that I'm failin' with these clues :wink:

is that by Harriet Island; is a hunt allowed ther? i thought that was out per PP rules...

Harriet has been in play since last year I believe. Definitely not ruled out this year.

40: how do you know this?

In past hunts the rules have specifically ruled out Harriet. That's not the case this year, as there's no mention of Harriet or it not being hidden there.

but if the anagram holds water (pun intended) it could also mean Cherokee...

I recall seeing that Rasberry Island was under construction?

Anyone know if this is a fact? Would that be considered Harriet Island or are they seperate?

think Harriet is such a pretty place to hunt. alot of clues fit.

raspberry island wasn't under construction during aw's 24 hour hunt; if it is now its a recent development.

The THG has great photos of Harriet on his site.

click on the numbered circles for photo.

Although MG has a "this park is against the rules" on the Harriet page, it may be an older version....

But then I was convinced the Med was at Harriet back in that Como hunt when Horton was in the clue and the entire Harriet hunt went full blast over to Como. Great fun; then the PP outlawed Harriet. and now that it is back in play would that be their "red herring" like in the Harriet/Como year.

Wow, the press boards have gotten really bad.

don't feel bad, qm. everybody thought it was in harriet that year.

well, there were a couple of us on clue four who spent some quality time out there, but we were looked at like fools for thinking so. :smile:

Back from the dentist and got a hair cut. So now I just need to find the medallion.

I was at Harriet that year, so was brasscat.

Everyone still up for Bulldog tonight?

What happens on the PP board. I don't read them. Do people just rip each other?

hard to say I swam through a few posts but most of it isn't worth reading

when has it ever?

yeah, it's really sad the level of stupidity over there, especially from a few certain members.

there's about 4 or 5 who know what they're talking about and have some good ideas, but other than that it's complete trash

Ares: my daughter is a freshman at the U of M Twin Cities. Living in Territorial hall.

40: those 4 or 5 are probably from here....

This could throw you back to a dog park, but not in the area the dogs are in , hence have no fear. The fencing around is the harbor... What the heck do I know... I didn't want to go to Central.

Also means 'I want care Ed'.

Who's Ed?

:pbpt:

The 3rd line is different from when they were writing them, but otherwise is similar.

of course, it's Ed O'Neil

Al Bundy

Married With Children

Maryland Ave.

rushes out the door

:sillygrin:

Nope... going to PP then.

That sounds funny.

Isn't Larry Ho at CoNo?

Ed is my boss...

Does that mean I get to find it this year?

Don't forget 'waiter dance'.

Is Ed a waiter at Arcade?

Nope you can have it in two years.

Zeph,

How long have you been looking?

I would read about it in the paper since I could read the paper, sit with a map and try to noodle clues.

 I never stepped foot outside to hunt until 2003 @CoNo. Every year since except 2005 Crosby, when I was in Iraq. Well, I sorta hunted then too. :smile:

I had some thought as to this last clue today.

This would just be an example.

Remember down at Harriet Island that one year when everyone was raking in the wild flowers/grassy areas? If one was facing the hill and raking, one wouldn't see anything but natural stuff.

Makes the possibility of other such places more viable.

Where the heck is clue 4?!?! I have a headache. The noodler is mush. The wait between clues is too long.

Two clues a day was much nicer. I miss those days of yore.

Wow, didn't know that. Thanks for your service!

FWIW L and A Daddy thinks where ever it is, it's by a cemetary...

Me I like BC and HF the best.

That would fit "at rest"

Ed's the guy Eags was dating there for awhile. He had this weenie-pennie prob and had to have it pumped up.

Eags did well at this as she's spent so much time at fire stations getting her blood pressure checked and polishing the pole...

JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.woods.. :smile:

I gotta ask...am I the only person that PRE-Clue noodles??

meaning...I try to be one step ahead???

ROFLOLPMP!

:pbpt:

Your welcome.

Hey look, I found it!

Zephy... You CHEATER! That's your grandpa's!

Naughty boy! Now I gotta spank you...

Wow that's cool

I also dated another guy named Ed, who worked at a restaurant on Arcade at the time - this was back in 1969, I think.

Anyway, ED was my cardboard date I kept threatening to bring to cooler events, but he wouldn't fit in my car!

The company I worked for made medical devices for the nether regions.

ED was a life-sized cardboard guy - in fact there were several EDs around the building, and people would move them around. Kinda creepy to work late at night, come around a corner and there was ED, all unexpected-like...

I think if I were going to get a cardboard guy now, it would be this one:

Can't fool you :smile:

I coulda had a cool $1000. Plus the button bonus, thanks to Randy Rust.

Hmmm...I just replied to green's post and now it says I replied to my own post instead. Strange.

do you talk to yourself often...

oh...come to think of it...i got that book on cd's (speaking of talkign to self)
