I don't suppose there's a lot of people out this weekend, I know at least a few are away. I'd go, but don't know of a good place to look with tonight's clue... perhaps tomorrow evening I'll head out though.

I ammmm ssssoooooo sorry everyone- I didnt mean to make this difficult- :(

no one has called me to report they found it...yet

me2

ok- clue will be out at 4
if there is a concensus or someone calls me to tell me where they are gonna be then maybe I will go out. But I have to pick up Mark at 6:15. Now if people are in different parks I may just bebop between the numerous parks that people are in.

 

JUST IN CASE: If for some reason this hunt goes to 12 - and everyone is in concensus than maybe I will give the clue out at the park- on whatever the 12 clue day is -at 4 pm. If there is still no concensus than I will just have to post it.

 




I will not at this point give the clue out over the phone.



you must get it on-line or at the park or from someone else-

We didn't get out looking today.  We got back to the cities later than we first thought - and we were tired from being up half the night watching the northern lights. 

I think this is going 12 clues, Me2!  Way to go!

I just got back from dinner with Ares and Treasure Chest, KIDS and girlfriend -my husband and all OUR kids - Hearthside on Rice St. ---Clue Master never came over and he never called us :(

me2

well-a couple of people are still out in a park for another 1/2 hour and then I guess we wait til morning - I dont know if anyone else is out and about. But, if someone finds it, please call me no matter the time. 

Don't even think of calling me from 12 to 8 am if you arn't holding the GHOST!

and enjoy her while you got her cause you got to turn her in to claim your prize :)

BACK!!

and I'm back to clueless....

I have no idea as to where to even think about looking in this park....

so either......its gone, i'm in the wrong park, or..I need to take lessons from me2 in how to hide stuff.

 

oh and I forgot to say.....at the end of this .....there just might be a killing................

Yeah, I'm with Kitch on this one, I have no idea where this ghost is.

If tomorrow's clue is good, and I certainly hope it is, because I can't get in on a running race Tuesday, I'll try then.

Aight, ya'll....

Its 3:45 A.M. and I just got home a while ago from Denny's (the restaurant).

"How does this pertain to the hunt?", You ask?

Well... stop asking questions, and I'll tell you....

It pertains to the hunt, because prior to dining at that fine establishment, me and Shaggy, and Shaggy's bro, and a couple of our other homies from around the way, hit up Mounds park....

Basically, it was just me and Shaggy looking for it, and the other 3 just tagged along for the fun of being at the park, late at night....

What we found....  not much... just some graffiti, and other people hanging out in the parks.... oh... and one of the homies that was with, got a "warning" about being parked in a lot or something....

We decided to check out the street signs and see if anything added up.... we found a "Bates" avenue, that runs into the park, kinda near the light tower side...... we kinda thought that maybe Bates, could be Norman Bates, from Psycho... and that he was the murderer and stuff.. but that didnt really figure... until we ran into "Urban" (Urban Legend) street, which hits the lower part of the park..... after not being successful in either area, we decided to follow Urban from the park, and see where it ended ... and BLAM! it hits a wall (literally... theres a wall from someones yard), right at Bates....  so we searched again, all over the area where we figured that exact intersection would be, if it stretched over to the park, and once again... NOTHIN....

also noted.... yes, you can see the 1st National Bank sign... but you can ALSO see the blue Pioneer Press sign from various spots at Mounds Park... could that be the "Pioneer"??... i doubt it, but who knows...

anyhow, im done with my observations now.

consider yourselves lucky.
