2008 Mrmnmikey's 1st mock hunt

Submitted by mrmnmikey on

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!!!

Finders Mucluck and Iceman with treasure 

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

Rolling Stone's panel of judges named "Satisfaction" as the second-greatest song of all time, coming in second to Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". =61

Highland is my current first guess for a park though from clue 1

whoever said jagermeister... "the harder the better I say"...

possibly a reference to a bar nearby, cuz I really don't think it would be referencing an empty bottle of liquor on the ground.. lol

She grew up with the children of the stars

In the hollywood hills and the boulevard

Her parents threw big parties

Everyone was there

They hung out with folks like

Dennis Hopper, Bob Seeger, Sonny and Cher

Now, she feels safe

In this bare on fairfax

And from the stage I can tell that

She can't let go and she can't relax

And just before she hangs her head to cry

I sing to her a lullaby, I sing

Everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye

Everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye, rockabye

She still lives with her mom outside the city

Down that street about a half a mile

And all her friends tell her, she's so pretty

But she'd be a whole lot prettier

If she smiled once in a while

'cause ever her smile looks like a frown

She's seen her share of devils

In this angel town

But, everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye

Everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye, rockabye

I told her I ain't so sure about this place

It's hard to play a gig in this town

And keep a straight face

Seems like everybody's got a plan

It's kind of like Nashville with a tan, but

Everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye

Everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye

Everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye

Everything's gonna be all right

rockabye, rockabye, rockabye

bye, bye

bye, bye

The words of Ballad of Easy Rider (by Roger McGuinn of The Byrds) are heard under the rolling credits. The uneasy aerial camera shot pulls back on the winding river alongside the highway. The river - which extends to the hazy horizon - is the final image of the film before a fade-out to black. The ballad is about a man who only wanted to be free like the flowing river amidst America's natural landscape:

The river flows, it flows to the sea

Wherever that river goes, that's where I want to be

Flow river flow, let your waters wash down

Take me from this road to some other town

All I wanted was to be free

And that's the way it turned out to be...

River?

I got softball tomorrow so I'm throwing this out there: someone please post if they have already looked there.

Someone check the southernmost side of the fire ring at Highland Park. - On the 'woods' side

1) -- Place with the Mint - Pearson's Mint Patties

2) -- Newer Face - Remodeled and redone streets in Highland

-- "Measure Up" can be the yardage markers for the golf holes - frisbee and the like

-- Courts and wreck - a wreck would end up with you in court and probably talking to a cop at the police station - adjacent to the fire ring

-- Look for dinner - Famous Daves is right down the hill - reference to the Booya shelter as well

3) -- Southern Rock - clue to what rock to look under

-- Motorcycle references - there is a few motorcycle parking spaces in the lot adjacent to the fire pit

-- Omaha - hell what else rhymes with Yamaha

4) -- Country and Soul - outdoor amphitheater is visible from the fire pit

-- Stones wont be alone - ring of several stones makes up the fire pit ring

I somewhat agree with those

I also thought famous daves but there are other things along w 7th that can be seen but ribs are a southern thing - I heart bbq

Mikey - I finally got our registration fee sent via paypal.

Just wanted you to know its done.

Early on with the Omaha thing and the southern references, I was thinking somewhere over in the northend or northeast part of the city. Nevada, Mississippi...even Iowa. Phalen maybe.

But with the later clues, Highland looks like a good bet for now.

Mint marks on coins are S, P, and D. Police station (SPPD) = Highland.

That's awesome so many people registered.

Definitely looking forward to the next clue, hopefully providing some more to chew on... who knows, maybe it'll throw everyone for a loop?

any clue that mentions stones automatically makes me think Phalen

then playing and new construction

but both Phalen AND Highland have new construction

I love Highlands new look with the playground - Id play on it :smile:

Sky Builder

don't wreck it - auto otto hummer

basically find a park with a playground and stay away from it.
