Any other time, time seems to speed by...but not when one is waiting for a clue!

Looks like a few more people here waiting for the clue tonight than the last week.

Clue #9

To the left or to the right? Oh what an awful plight!
Which one was correct Alice could not quite say.
After she went to depart, she finished at the start,
Though a catfish in the middle pointed the right way.

And the previous clues:

Clue #8

Then Alice did see Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Like goofs standing very still as if they were unaware
Then alive they came, saying to win us this tiny game
You will first have to perfectly eliminate every last pair.

Clue #7

Alice took a second look, “This must be the wrong book!”
Thought she, as she spotted seven dwarves sitting on a perch.
Perhaps if she stopped to chat they’d help her find the cat,
But only one was able to give her a hint of where to search.

Clue #6

Alice walked a mile, going round about for a while
When a caterpillar spoke, blowing smoke rings quite nifty.
He said, “Who are you? Are you looking for a clue?
Then perhaps you should search between fifteen and fifty.”

Clue #5

Alice was curious to know, which way she should go
When she saw the Cheshire Cat and smiled to herself.
He just gave her a grin, and then disappeared again
Saying, “Look for me near a road that crosses itself.”

Clue #4

The March Hare and Mad Hatter each grabbed a platter
And offered Alice a cup with all their usual glee.
“You make it quite well, what’s your secret, do tell?”
“We simply gather up the rain and stir in the tea!”

Clue #3

Hearing of the slithy toves and mimsy borogoves
Made Alice ask for a dictionary from the porter.
But when he gave her a tome as big as a home
She asked if there was any way to make it shorter.

Clue #2

Alice’s adventure had begun before she saw the rabbit run,
In an outdoor setting having some biscuits and tea.
Go now and don’t be late for your very important date.
Dining and cooking you’ll find figure most prominently.

Clue #1

Only those with habits like chasing white rabbits
Look in Wonderland trying to find this treasure, alas.
Vanished is the Cheshire Cat. Which park could he be at?
You might start with a peek through the looking glass.

So that clue sent everyone running off to their park? hehe

If the catfish says it's to the right, that's good enough for me.

All I can think of is Catfish Hunter

Minnesota has two catfish species. The channel and the flat head.

She came full circle...but had to be to the right.

Kitch -I tried to e-gram you but it said it could not locate you- so here:

Hey Kitch- she had a training halter nose leash connected to my leash but she got it off her face :( ---- I was probly 10% in the wrong. This situation really showed the guys character and I was lucky he didnt have a gun :( -like I said I didnt say anything-not even I'm sorry -which he yelled that I didnt even apologize -but I couldn't do anything but make sure I had control of the dog and the situation/my welfare was under control.

oh well- hope I dont run into him again is all.

Wish we had more daylight. We can't get out tomorrow night. We've got to make a trip north and back after work.

This clue doesn't really get us closer to an area of the park than we have been.

Between the snow and all this Wonderland confusion, I'm starting to think this hunt may go close to the end after all.

Mon, 03/08/2004 - 5:28 PM Permalink
Terry

I'm not confused - at least I don't think I am. Maybe that's the first sign? I know the park. Just have to get it narrowed down.

I'm going to go get some food. I'll have my phone with me in case anyone finds it.

I think I've got the park too, about 99% sure, but I can't go out tonight but will be there tomorrow in the light.

Kind of quiet around here. I wonder how many people are out hunting tonight? No one has called yet to say they've found it.

I think Terry is out at the park, I had some stuff to take care of tonight, I'll be out there tomorrow if it isn't found by then

Some of the direction arrows in the THG look like fish.

Mon, 03/08/2004 - 8:24 PM Permalink
Terry

The fish is pointing in the direction we've been searching. I know at least 3 other people were out hunting tonight. If it weren't for all the snow, my guess is that it would have been found. The additional snows haven't helped.

Yes, I have to admit when I hid it, it looked like we were losing our snow cover and I didn't think it would recover, so to speak, hehe.

Terry

There's snow...and it's the heavy wet stuff.

Well it's getting to be too late to be in the parks and it seems everyone is starting to gather at the message board again.

I just wish we could figure out the clever hiding place. :-)

Any rabbit hutches out there? :)

here i'm thinking of sneaking out...hehehe..

Go! There's enough light around and it's even better with a working flashlight!

I agree. With this snow it's pretty bright out.

I'm going to rest up tonight and take advantage of the sunlight tomorrow. I 've got a good feeling...

Good question!

Yeah, I thought you were all worked up because you were on their site and wanted to be taken off.

Looks like Kitch might have gone out. He's not logged on any longer.

I hope someone finds it! Might as well be Kitch.

Reg - If you want others to talk about hunting with you, you need to share too. All we ever see is you bragging that you've got it all figured out, but then never once do you contribute to the noodling.

Maybe Kitch can get his chimney fixed!

I believe the prize is still at $290, although I've only actually received $220 so far, so that's all I can promise to pay out until I get the rest (being poor and all right now).

I could care less about noodling with people. If we all worked together, the purpose of the mock hunt would be defeated

It is a lot more fun to go hunting with someone and jake expressed interest

Then it would be me against all of you! I wonder who would win? hehe
