CONGRATULATION MUCLUCK AND ICEMAN!!!
They found the treasure at Hazel Park Recreation Center, after clue #9, under a bench located behind ball field #3. A magnet was used to secure the bag with the treasure under the bench.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My hunt kicked off on friday, May 9th at Obbs Bar at Mounds Park. Clues will be realeased at 8am daily until found.
I asked for $5 registrations to go towards the total pot and I will kick in an extra $25. If the finder is not registered they will only receive 1/2 the pot. Any leftover money will be given to the winner of the next hunt that takes place.
The pot is $120
Clue 1/Fri
The hunt is on, now go find the treasure
All you have to do is follow the hint
I hope you have fun and find some pleasure
St Paul's the place with the mint
Clue 2/Sat
Look for a place that has a newer face
and you may measure up the winner
Just locate the courts and places to play
and don't wreck it, just look for dinner
Clue 3/Sun
If you like southern rock you may have heard uneasy rider
Wasn't he on a yamaha?
All I know is he wanted to go from St Paul to Chicago
via Omaha?
Clue 4/Mon
Some like country and some like soul
the harder the better I say
So think of the stones, they wont be alone
if you can't get no satisfaction today
Clue 5/Tue
You'll need a vessel if you want to travel
like they did back in time
For the end of the road is dirt and gravel
and here you'll see the rhyme
If when you get there, you run out of tar
you should turn around
Because if you did this you oughta know
you just went a bridge too far
Clue 6/Wed
When you get hungry just have a picnic
there is no chicken or corn
Just find a sandwich and a place to grill
because it has been reborn
Imagine brown trout and picture the water
as you think of Kinnickinnic
Just go nuts and run to the border
and soon you will be liking it
Clue 7/Thu
If you can't find it, dont get on me for it
ask Peppermint Patty or Charlie Brown
If you figure this clue, you will be in luck
and soon you will not frown
Clue 8/Fri
To find it is tricky, you might need
a lawyer to make your case
But all you really have to do
is line up and look for a base
Clue 9/Sat
Another opportunity to find the way
is to play with virtual lives
Add a vehicle and a boy in the netherlands
and see where they might arrive
THE FINDERS!!!
Clue 10/Sun
Think of a school and think of a playground
they're both in this neighborhood
If you can figure the three together
you should be feeling good
I'm sure by now your looking for something
that will give you names
One I'd try is William Leonard
and his wife Helen Ames
Clue 11/Mon
Hazel and Case might be the place
if you look with a certain zeal
If you locate the prize, you may be surprised
and you might let out a squeal
Clue 12/Tue
Go to the place at Hazel and Case
and run to the southern border
Look for the rock and look at the base
and then you'll win in short order
You wont need a wrench to look under the bench
and find the prize you desire
Just give me a call and let me know
and the money you will acquire

I saw the worst accident scene I've ever seen with my own eyes.
Theres just no way someone survived it. I got off the highway at Plato. As I approached Robert St the whole area was lit up with 20 cop cars, ambulance and a firetruck. I thought the Drake Bank was on fire. Traffic was obviously redirected so I turned South on to Robert St and pulled over. I could see over on the boulevard of the Back Street Grill parkinglot what was left of part of a white car. WRAPPED AROUND A TREE!!!!! The rest of the mangled car went through a cement wall and was quietly yet disturbingly laying on the other side of what WAS left of the cement wall!! :frown:
I called Jase and Sue because I knew they wern't far from me and they turned around and came back. I just couldn't believe it. Strange place to have it happen and another one of those "you just NEVER know" feelings of WHEN OR HOW. I was somewhat sick to my stomach.
There was an SUV (I think I read the license plate as TC274) that a cop was taking pictures of was involved with ONLY scratches on its bumper! How does one be beyond recognition and another drive away!
Kitch can you find the story?? on that cop webpage you posted about 2 weeks ago? WCCO was the only news we saw at the scene.
Car Hits Tree, Splits In Half; Driver Survives
(WCCO) A car spilt in half after hitting a tree in St. Paul Friday night, but miraculously the driver survived.
It happened around 11 p.m. at Plato Boulevard and Robert Street.
Police said the man inside the car survived and was taken the hospital in serious condition.
thanks for finding it - theres video attached to that from the guy that was there from CCO. He came later so you don't see all the police that were there earlier. WOW!
I had it in my head that I was so tired I was not gonna stay late last night and I still did. I'm sooooo glad I stayed longer.
can you find out who the guy was or where he lives?
in part of that video you can see the car wrapped against that tree and in the background you can see the rest of the car - it was 30 feet apart!!!!! and through a cement wall!!!
I had heard all the commotion last night but didnt see what was going on until now... that is amazing that anybody could survive that... unbelievable...
shredded is a good word for it.
this should get interesting
thats almost exactly how I thought it happened but I didn't expect a police chase.
nice
just full of information to work with
If you like southern rock you may have heard uneasy rider
Wasn't he on a yamaha?
All I know is he wanted to go from St Paul to Chicago
via Omaha?
Yea, I thought so.
Wonder whos gonna get the 100 joe?
I hope this isnt another numbers game... LOL
Toolin along in my cheverolet
Tokin on a number and diggin on the radio
Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to blow
Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
Cause there wasn't a filling station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of a red-neck lookin joint called the Dew Drop Inn
I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And ywould he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn't a soul in the place except for him and me
He just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone
I called up the station down the road a ways
He said he wasn't very busy today
And he could have somone out there in just about 10 minutes or so
He said," Now, you just stay right where yer at!"
And I didn't bother to tell the darn fool
That I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go
I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said, "Who owns this car
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and the four on the floor?"
He looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that I'd just wait outside
So I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the door
Just when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin
These 5 big dudes come strollin in
With one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth
I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said, "You tip your hat to this lady, son!"
And when I did, all that hair fell out from underneath
Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
Especially when there was three of them and only one of me
They all started laughin and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I better think of something pretty quick
So I just reached out and kicked old green teeth right in the knee
Now he let out a yell that'd curl yer hair
But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
And said "Now watch him Folks cause he's a thoroughly dangerous man!"
"You may not know it but this man is a spy.
He's a undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!"
He was still bent over holdin on to his knee
But everybody else was looking and listening to me
And I laid it on thicker and heavier as I went
I said, "Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars.
And he voted for George McGovern for President."
"Well, he's a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!
I betchya he's even got a commie flag
tacked up on the wall inside of his garage."
"He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys.
He may look dumb but that's just a disguise,
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage"
They all started lookin real suspicious at him
And he jumped up and said "Now just wait a minute Jim!
You know he's lying I been living here all of my life!"
"I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church.
And I aint even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!"
Then he started saying somethin bout the way I was dressed
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy moving and hoping I didn't run outta luck
When I hit the ground I was making tracks
And they were just taking my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty and jumped in and fired that mother up
Mario Andretti wouldda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trot
And I guess I should of gone ahead and run
But somehow I just couldn't resist the fun
Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot
Well they headed for their car, but i hit the gas
And spun around and headed them off at the pass
I was slinging gravel and putting a ton of dust in the air
I had them all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catchin
then I figgered I had better go ahead and split before the cops got there
When I hit the road I was really wheelin
Had gravel flyin and rubber squeelin
And I didn't slow down till I was almost to Arkansas
I think I'm gonna reroute my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to L.A., via Omaha
