and if you were going to read a clue in a park, what park would it be? Also can you take a shower first and wear the towel costume again? I missed it the first time.

I found a cut down tree base that was hollow and poked around it with a stick. Good thing I had a stick. There was a family of snakes living under the leaves. Mamma, Pappa, Kids, all there. Won't find that in the winter...

I won't be able to be there at 4  ;-(

Whichever park it's in.  Although if it's not Orchard I'll be pissed.

Good noodle Kitch - Didn't see that one

why are you over at that tree?

Well, I gave it my last, best try. Met TMK out at Orchard, searched around about 2 hours, then I figured I better get to work before they kill me.

I'm officially out of the rest of the hunt, as I work till at least 5:30, unless by some miracle people are still diggin around on the final clue.

Good luck all! I see Kitch, Ian, and Diggin tomorrow evening.

Aight..... I wanna thank those of you that helped me and Shaggy see that we had our heads up our asses last night..

We liked mounds... but neither of us really believed it was there, for the pure fact that it was too obvious... so after we found out what park we should have been in, we were slapping ourselves, because we hadnt even heard of that place, and if we had.... trust me... we would have been there a few clues ago.... we had all of the right explanations that we needed.... but just used them in the wrong park...

So when we got put on the right track (no pun intended), we booked our asses out there.. we were there from 1 AM til 3:30- 4, and didnt come out of there with jack shit.... well except scrapes and cuts from crawling under, over, and through everything that we could find, bug bites, and some flat pennies, that we left on the train tracks

Im undecided as to whether i'll be at the park at 4, seeing as how Shaggy has this thing called a "JOB", which means Ive got no ride, and would be bussing it.

If I go.. I'll see you ninjas there.

get out there!!bumbed I won't see some of you :(

I am heading out now - there will be no more posts from me until later tonight when someone drives me home from the park-

and I would think you would show JUST to see where the darned thing is. Many of you will either kill me or be mad at yourself -BUT there is nothing I can do-

just love me :)

 

GOOD LUCK!

I'd love to be out there me2, but unfortunately, I gotta work :( And no, I can't get out early, I already asked.

If only the clue was released at 6, but alas, I'm not destined to find this one I guess. Just as well, I wasn't doing good with the clues anyways (that's not to say they're too hard or anything, I was just having troubles). BTW, Reg wasn't even out there this morning ;)

I don't even know where "there" is as I was on vacation all last week and wasn't in the hunt.  But I have a dentist appointment this afternoon anyway so would miss the clue.....not that I would look.....but it would have been fun to see people.  :(

I'm headin out now to poke around. I'm thinking that since all of us spent many hours by the tracks, it's probably in the bushes up front since it's uncomfortable to look through when others are present.  I haven't seen them today yet but they weren't picked over too much yesterday.  See yaz out there. And if it's not found by 4, I wanna see blood on everybody's skin.  ;-)

I think kicking ourselves is more in order me2. We're all there just not thinking right.

Oh, and for those of you who missed it:

Feelin like the odd person out now. If only I didn't have a job..... Really gets in the way of hunting. Oh well, no sense in checking the forums anymore today. I'll check in tonight to see how the hunt went.

Quick every one get to the park and find it.....
Oh and Reg if by some slim chance you and the unnamed one find the prize Cooler kid is copy righted and if Mr. Money tries to sell any copies I will prosecute to the full extent of the law.

I'm heading out now, hope to see you guys out there! I would feel a little bad if I came in and found it though, but I need the candles.

I just got back from Orchard.  me2, Sarah, Kitch, TMK, Diggin, Muckluck & Reg were out there.  Looked along the fence a bunch with no luck.  Come on people. Get out there and find that thing before 4:00! I'm stuck at work like KC.  RRRRRrrrrrrr!

Oh and Muckluck - Nice wet T-shirt!  ;-)

I say the next mock hunt should cater to the working (and schooling) stiffs :)

Tue, 07/27/2004 - 1:21 PM Permalink
Clue Master

Well I guess they do cater to us because we can look during the day but it just sucks about missing the last live clue.  Where do you guys think it is? What part of the park? 

Tue, 07/27/2004 - 1:27 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

My First guess was in the northeast corner. But I definately liked the large broken tree on the northwest corner, just outside the fence, close to the railroad tracks. If not there.. shoot the whole park is wide open...

Clue Master

Hint to anyone going out there: DON'T LISTEN TO ME2!  Anything she says to you will seem like it could be a hint or a hindrance.  I found myself analyzing the way she said hi.  ;-)

Another tip - Bribe Sarah with a few bucks to get water to throw at Muckluck and she'll tell you where it's at.  -NOT-  :-(

I think it's inside the fence in the park proper just hidden like Marley's was the time we all looked under that clock only for Jake to find it.  I'm thinking we've all had our chance and will probably kick ourselves for not looking deeper.  Maybe in a drain or above the ground taped to something that we've passed by because we were looking at something more interesting that caught our attention.  I'm real curious on this one.

Yeah me too... You'd think hunting geocaches as often as I do I'd be a bit better at spotting things...

Tue, 07/27/2004 - 1:38 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

Eh, just as well I'm not there, I'd rather find it before the last clue anyways, it's just a gimme then, oh and you have to be a marathon runner to boot :)

I hope somebody takes a picture of where is was anyway.

I might be inclined to go snap a shot after work, if someone is so kind as to post the last clue before I leave.

I expect the crowd is gathering around me2 right about now...

if it was me reading the clue, I'd bring along a starter pistol, fire it in the air, and then read the clue.

I had my money on him. I wonder if he found it and won't tell. I'll find out what's going on. BRB

me2's not answering. Must be busy doing something.  ;-)

Yeah, his computer does that all the time.

yep msn, but why would his computer turn itself on? weird. maybe someone else is using it and it signed him in, that happens to us sometimes but it shows the person as away.

His screensaver does it I think. I know I see him pop on many times late at night to find out he wasn't even at his computer.  My brother's does that too.  I've learned not to send any messages because of the long response time. Like days go by

I imagine the ghost has been "found" by now....

Edit: Decided it'd be best to put found in quotations, because it's just a race to the hiding spot.

I just got a call from me2. She says that Jake found it and ESD is currently kicking his ass while Reg is on his back trying to stop him. Ambulance is in route. It was hidden in the smokestack of the playground train.
