2005 RedBear's - all over the cities hunt

Hey... do any of the bars in St Paul have in bar breathalizer machines?

Thanks me2 and Kitch! :smile: When I realized Grand Ave. in SSP overlooks Concord St. and the valley, I was pretty sure it was there. I was going to wait until daylight, but was afraid Kitch or CM would figure it out and beat me to it. I walk down to that park all the time.

So I'm pretty excited! :sillygrin:

yeah -but like you know where to look :wink:

come look in my front yard :wink:

why do you think it's not there :wink:

alright--- "seriously, if you think you know, than to egram Bear where you think it is" -there will be another hidden in the morning --- you could call me -but you won't get me :frown:

Way to go OT!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

Congratulations OT!!!

Just down the street from you too. Awesome!

Where in the park did you find it?

I dont think thats why he said that- I just think if he knows you are in the right place than you coulda found it already? not sure- I'm with him and he hasn't told me a thing

and is Skyview park the same as Grandview?

I thought Skyview was IGH

touch base with me tomorrow kitch- I will be in and out of the office -

I know one is in IGH and the other is in SSP

This is totally irrelevant, and I am making no claims to the statements of the following link... but while looking again at the clues I came across this :
http://www.biblicalpolygamy.com/exegesis/seven-women-shall-take-hold-of-one-man/

Kitch, it's like this: I have no way of knowing when it was taken away. So it might have been this afternoon, it might have been four days ago. It's unfair to those people who've been out hunting to be somewhere and potentially not find anything.

Thanks Zeph, MM and CM! It is actually called Grandview Park. It was shoved into the springs on one of those bouncy rides on the playground. A horned rhino. :wink: It was in a little football and only the end of it was showing. At first I thought it was part of the spring. Good thing I had my flashlight!

So that being said, IF you egram me, say "I've been to X park, my reasoning is Y" and you're not just guessing, I'll give you a deserved head start for being there before. Or not. Or I can just call it off, I don't care. I'm in an awkward position - because what if OTS found it and isn't posting while he's at work? Or, what if it just got thrown away?

I'm open to suggestion as to fairness. Nobody knows anything that hasn't been posted here.

Congratulations, OT! Way to go!!!

Nice panorama, CM! I buried a time capsule on that bluff when I was a little girl. Wonder if anyone will ever find it.

When you were a little girl...It's probably eroded off the cliff by now and in the gulf of mexico... :smile:

I don't plan to confirm or deny everything. Only someone with the right guess would get a wee headstart.

But if other people feel this way I"ll just call the other off then.

I take it it was this little guy?

Thanks Terry!

Probably not, Bear. :chagrin: I filled a lovely plastic purse with little treasures I thought would interest someone in the future. :goofy:

Congrats OT!! way to go on the find!! That was a good one!

That's him! :smile: Is that the actual rhino? From Grandview?

Thanks Vino! CM stole one from under my nose (literally) a couple of years ago. :worried:

I have it all grasshoppa

:wink:

Here's the larger version

Can we finally let it go now OT?

HEHE :wink:

Oh, and I disagree with me2 saying this game isn't that exciting. IT ROCKS!

Haha! Sure we can. How's that TV working for ya? :ooh:

That's St. George's Greek Orthodox Church. The building is on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Years ago it was for sale and I wanted to buy it and convert it to a house. I wanted our bedroom suite to be up in that second floor. :grin:

The wife is watching it upstairs and I'm watching the big one downstairs. I have the HD delay though so it's weird knowing we just made that field goal before I even seen us make it. :angry:

The TV itself is very nice OT. :smile: You should come over and watch it sometime. :sillygrin:

It's ok. I picked one up off the curb the other day. :ooh: I really did! My son and I were pulling out of his driveway and his neighbor was putting a tv on the curb. I asked him if it worked and he said it did except for a couple of lines across the top. I told Kenny to put it in the back of the Jeep so my daughters and I can watch Survivor on Thursday while the guys watch football. :sillygrin:

Nice work, OT! Congrats! :cool:

Crap, I was on Grand earlier...looking but not finding

congrats ot!

Thanks becksie!

Thanks mrmikey!

I don't like the idea of an early clue either, but not sure what else to do.

500 joe

the game ended well -

goodnight everyone -

Night me2.

Here's what I think.

There's no way that I can make everybody happy.

There's no way I can ensure any semblance of fairness.

Someone will bitch no matter what I do.

So I see no reason for me to put out my tickets when I'm going to get shit for it later.

Even if I hide something in the same place in the morning someone once it's found someone will come up with a bullshit story that that's where they were looking and demand the prizes.

Even if I call it off and say where I was someone will say that's where they were looking and demand the prize.

So, I'm just going to shut the B hunt down, call the game on account of the ball going over the fence, whatever.

Sorry gang. But there's no way it can be fair anymore and given the level of intensity that I know people will complain and cry foul, I don't see any way I can run this in a fair way.

#1 - Seven and one men sailed

     down a raft not far away

     'twas a plan so bold,

     took 12 days to unfold

     that the legend be kept to stay

12 day hunt that both were focused on parks in the river valley.

#2A - Ok, ok, you're needing a place

      to outwit the rest, to headstart the race

      the suspects are usual, the folly is lark

      two places, two pucks, a st paul park

I don't capitalize St. Paul, which is about as interpretative as I can get to get it out of being a proper name and a descriptor instead, so you look for "A st. paul park" instead of a St. Paul park. But there are four St. Pauls - St. Paul, WSP, NSP, and SSP.

#3A - A moose named Dixie and a caribou named Billy

      walk into a Tavern. One says to the bartender:

      "Hey, can you play War?" The other says "what

      is it good for?" The wise bartender says "Civil,

      One, two or a police action - information, that's what."

Billy, Dixie and the Tavern are all on Grand. the bartender tells you that Civil and police actions are north/south battles, which gets you out of St. Paul proper.

#4A - The horny animals of the Serengetti

      Generally travel in packs.

      And to properly determine where the treasure lies,

      Bring along some snacks.

The bounty is hidden under two rhinos packed together in the playground.

#5A - Mines of Mordor, Man can see

       For miles and miles cross the valley

       The unblinking eye, of course burns red

       To get near it, you might be dead

3 capital M = 3M. The difference is "unblinking" as the 1st bank 1 blinks on and off.

#6A - He saw the gilded weathercock

      Swim in the moonlight as he passed,

      And the meeting-house windows, black and bare,

      Gaze at him with a spectral glare,

      As if they already stood aghast

      At the bloody work they would look upon.

Longfellow's "Ride of Paul Revere" gets you Lexington and Concord streets, Lexington and Grand in St. Paul gets you a Blockbuster, Concord and Grand in South St. Paul gets you Grandview park.

#7A - Henry the 8th, you was you was

      after taking the ride of another

      Hang two in the tower,

      One doesn't count, brother,

      To warn all the people below

Paul Revere reference again - the church across the street you hang 2 in the belfry for the valley to see. Revere reference gets you Concord st. again.

#8A - You know, everywhere we go, people ask

      "How come you never do anything Nice?

      "and easy?"

      So we're going to take the beginning of this clue

      and make it nice

      and easy

      Then we're going to make the second part of this clue

      Rough

      Cause that's how we do when we roll

The spoken introduction to Tina Turner's version ot "Rolling on the River." At this point people aren't sure where it is so I tried to narrow it down to the River valley.

#9A - The Clintonesque stand, a slippery steed

      means what you think is is, isn't indeed

      Some things are true, depite rankled collars

      Begin your search on the street of thousand dollars

The street of thousand dollars - Grand Avenue.

#10A - To try to understand these, it's harder than it looks

       Open up your Jarhead and stop cracking the books

       The darkness is falling, try hard to get un-stuck

       The only sympathy here is: Good Night and Good Luck.

"JarHead" and Good Night and Good Luck" are the two movies playing at the Grandview Theater.
