That's where it all comes from... Too bad you can't keep the medallions when you find them.

Bet it was, Eags. Scarey. Coming across this guy while you're working and he's a STIFFY...

Will Round #2 be called WOODY vs. ED?

I realize that's a pointed question, but youz and eyes are friends.

I have peed in a park! And in a bottle while driving 50 mph off road. And in my backyard when I was a kid. And at a farm. And on an electric fence. That was not a good day.

It felt like Dr. Seuss. Until the end. Then it felt like fire.

Zephy, I'm not sure, but that looks like a definite henge to me.

I'm just going off the clues and what I know about Swede. I've never actually been there...

If you gotta spank Zephy - hit for distance. Anything to delay that ship-out date.

Hell.... up until a few summers ago, there was still house remnants down there.... a pet cemetary too...

Swede Hollow can be one scary type park in daylight hours! I can't remember which year, but not all that long ago I was convinced it was there and drug family members out there at night so I could poke around! No WAY I was going by myself!

Unless you have a gun, or an axe, or a bomb, or a gang....

and not just any bomb, either..... one of those cool ones, that Wile E. Coyote uses - the giant round black ones, with the wick sticking out...

works for me....

I was thinking the bloods or crips, but I suppose the Hardcore Hunters would suffice...

if you can find them, that is....

depends on the furnace type and the house. High efficiency furnaces do not need it because they draw combustion air from outside vs in the house, so that traps moisture. If your ceiling and walls are wet, definatly do not use a humidifier or you will get mold. Even old furnaces only need humidification in the winter,

I went near Swede Hollow last year for the hunt, and a stray Pit Bull came up to us sniffing and begging for attention. The dog looked healthy, and it was well behaved and friendly like a trained dog would be - just no tags.

I had to put our wiener dog back in the car because HE wanted to tear the pit bull to shreds. I called animal control - but being a weekend I have no idea what eventually happened to him. The dog kept ambling down the street, walking up to everyone he saw and gave them a friendly sniff and a little beg.

I went to BC off leash area tonight and went in the enterance off of McKnight near Hillsdale. There is a facebook entry for battlcreek dog park. Also there is a sign inside the fence that says "No digging" because its unsanitary.

I can't do the clue tonight....but I may find a park tomorrow! Someone point me and I'll dig!
Tue, 01/20/2009 - 6:25 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

most dog parks say that... they try to discourage dogs from digging...

I dont understand looking in a dog park though....

yes, they are technically still parks, since they are part of one.... but I seriously doubt the medallion would be hidden in one....

especially one like Arlington Arkwright, also....

Verily, tho I may walk into the valley of the Shadow of Death (Swede Hollow)

I shall fear no Evil

Thy rake and thy shovel will comfort me

Thou preparest a dig site fore me

Thou anointest my head with brandy; my cup runneth over.

Surely riches and good fortune shall follow me all the days of my life: (just like Jake)

and I will dwell in the house of the PP for ever.

Some guy called Soucheray's show today, and said his kids got ticketed for being in a park, after hours, looking for a medallion....

maybe a heads up....

One of my teachers last semester was a Sergent with the St. Paul police and I asked him what the "policy" was during the hunt for after hours and he said as long as you aren't causing trouble and you're not tearing the place up the unspoken rule is to leave people alone because it is after all a St. Paul Hunt. Take it for what it is worth. I think it's up to individual officers and what's going on during a particular night.

i'd imagine there's something about whether a particular officer has met his quota for the month too :wink:

Quota, Ares? Quota for what? Like we're not speeding. So, is there some quota for HARASSING poor Hunters?
