2004 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

Submitted by THX 1138 on

Welcome to the 5th Annual Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt!

The treasure was found just before 9am on Wednesday, March 10th, by Me2. She will get a prize around $290 plus a variety of other goodies. It was found in Marydale Park on the north side in a pit under a tree near lamp post #12.

The wrap up party will be Saturday, March 13th at 8pm at Fabulous Fern's.

I know it! So does Terry, too bad she won't be able to search tomorrow. I'll be there there, hopefully leaving with one more cheshire cat than I came with. ;)

I know the park too. I will probably be out some tomorrow before I have to go to work. Otherwise I can't hunt until Wednesday during the day.

It's a good feeling Med2K, but frustrating knowing that the clock is ticking and everyone else will be joining you soon.

Yeah, I'll be getting out there as soon as I can tomorrow morning, still doesn't feel like it's going to be fast enough. It's torture being 3 blocks away, I almost want to go down there right now.

Patience my young padawan, patience. Let the force flow through you. A jedi does not crave adventure.

But it's so tempting, maybe I should just get to bed so morning comes quicker. I sound like a 5 year old on christmas eve.

this hunt is hard

Sometimes I worry about that, but then again, being that every clue has been figured out by someone, except for one, and that one's even been half solved, I don't really feel too bad. It's just a matter of people putting it all together properly, and then there's still a bit of luck involved.

The one that probably made the least sense when it came out I would guess.

I like Phalen because it's close to home, and I know it pretty good.

I don't like Phalen because I can't find anything I want to find there.

Thats really sad about what happened with the IDIOT in the park with the dog. You probly should have called the police. Making threats like that is an assault. Even if he never touched you it is still an assault. It's really too bad the cooler crew wasn't around. He'd be really sorry now. I hope your fingers will be ok. From the sound of it you will lose a nail. OUCH! I'll give you this little joe.

Good Morning!

For those of you able to hunt today - go get it and much cooler luck be with you!

Allison - I think I have all the clues figured out...but it'll be interesting to see your explanations.

I probably won't be here until much later this evening. Hope by then it's narrowed down or someone has it in their hands.

Beautiful day to hunt, but I'm in the middle of making a First Communion dress for my Granddaughter and the "Easy" Vogue pattern is more difficult than say an "Easy" McCalls pattern so it's more work than I anticipated. Want to get that done before I play.

No one has called yet to say it's been found.

Good luck everyone, wish I could hunt.

AW, did you hear about the guy getting shot at his Mason's ceremony?

Tue, 03/09/2004 - 8:34 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

No, I didn't hear about that. Not sure how that would even happen as the ceremony doesn't involve a gun.

Why isnt anyone looking at Marydale

Tue, 03/09/2004 - 8:43 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

I think a few people are. Some are still at Cherokee. I've heard talk about other parks too yet. Tonight's clue I think will settle it.

Looking forward double digt clues

Hmmm, that's very weird because it says it was an initiation ceremony, and yet there are no guns involved in the initiation, either real or fake. Maybe they meant to kill the guy and they're trying to pass it off as an initiation accident?

leelabell

I heard it on the radio and it was a weird story. Supposedly a fake gun was supposed to be used to shoot at someone standing in front of some stacked cans, but a guy pulled out a real gun instead. It sounds very fishy to me. I think you are right. Somebody wanted someone else dead.

I almost sure I was in the wrong park all a.m. ...i'm leaning back towards CHEROKEE..more thing make sense..i'll post why later this afternoon...i gotta get ready for work right now...

but I will tell ya this...1974 is a very important date..don't be late....

the only reason i'm telling is that i'm upset...i don't have much time left to hunt and want to see somebody find it before I have to leave to 'BAMA.....

I'm gonna head out for 15min worth of diggin' before work. See yas out there.

KITCH

Your going to need your THG to get this...1974..we all know that clue ...marley has pointed it out....funny how lines up on the rock.....
clue # 2
a =1

I =9

g =7

d =4

Page is part of the way to make a book shorter...just take a page...

more things to come...I have them all and it makes sense...
but its on the north side of the park...by this date and the rock...
I just didn't get the rock thing until I was at the park and found out that a "rock garden" no longer is at the "other" park....

I'm at work and can only post between "slow" times...

I love this~~~~

Sorry for not stoping and saying high Jana~~I was there at about 10:00 am and I will say the first time I went there and parked was about 1 block behind where you were parked today!~~Like ummm right where you were digging~~
When I was leaving (I had to open the bar)I had a really wierd feeling someone was going to find it.
But if they dont I am going back out there at about 4.

; > )

There sure is alot that fits Cherokee thats for sure~~
It also seemed like he was leading us from one end of the park to the other.

I'm with you now King...I was sold on CHEROKEE from clue two..then I got nervous and bolted to another park today (felt like i was missing something better).....

I'm not telling anymore now(until tonights clue)...I've alrdy told too much ...if you really want to know egram me and I'll let ya know what I know....
I will tell you this that pieces are missing at the "other parks" that are at "cherokee"

I might let ya know....

Ok, I'm afraid I just realized I screwed something up and I have to apologize. Apparently my memory was faulty and the last clue is actually wrong. The catfish in the middle, as it turns out pointed the wrong way, not the right way. I double checked with a couple of people and that is indeed the case. So again I have to apologize to those that went out looking and may have been looking in the wrong area because of the clue. However, there are other clues that did point to the correct area.

hehe i was right..

 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.

Correction. It seems the catfish in reality is facing the wrong way. I apologize for my faulty memory and any inconvenience it caused anyone.

Well Jake just called me from a park, one that I believe others were in earlier, but he said no one else is around now. And it looks to be such a nice afternoon to be out hunting too.
