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.
Cheers my buddy. We were all looking for you two and those Smokin' Hills couple. You guys can make it up during the rehash. ;-)
He should start his own newspaper.
New Weekly Freekly comin soon, by the way, for the Cooler Times site.^
I bet I can guess whose sunglasses those were! I'll ask Dad after the sun comes up :).
ESD - You had your books with?!?! I guess I didn't see any floating around, so didn't even ask....
<sigh>.
It was fun seeing everyone without tons of outdoor wear on - although I thought it was awfully warm in there - it felt SO good to get outside! Sure hope this weather holds for a little while.
My wife really likes you guys! maybe I'll get her huntin' after all.
Was great seeing everyone!

Can we have the clues listed at the top of this thread so they can be looked at without having to go back to the post?
How did David post under AW at 6:03? with the clue that rascally rabbit! He was with us!

I had a good time- and ofcourse you wooses left early-David and I hung out til 9ish. Got home in time to watch the last hour of the Oscars! that lasted over 4 hours- and what was I thinking that I may get what you got CM ....geeesh :(
hey Kitch I didnt recognize you without a hat! I am sorry I didnt say HI!!!!! sooooo hello NOW! I thought you were one of the crews friends and I would eventually say hello on the rounds but you left early. :(
hope your daughter feels better.
yeah, Terry is quiet but watch out, for when she speaks you better be listening!
He had a cell phone out. Maybe he sent a text msg out? I was wondering the same thing..

I don't think the woods had a name.

Peek read backwards is keep. Remove the p and you have kee, the last three letters in Cherokee. That jumped out at me last night and I'm working on it until I have more to go on.
By the way. I posted my last message in the clue thread by mistake, so apparently it's not closed to posts.
`Now, if you'll only attend, Kitty, and not talk so much, I'll tell you all my ideas about Looking-glass House. First, there's the room you can see through the glass -- that's just the same as our drawing room, only the things go the other way. I can see all of it when I get upon a chair -- all but the bit behind the fireplace. Oh! I do so wish I could see THAT bit! I want so much to know whether they've a fire in the winter: you never CAN tell, you know, unless our fire smokes, and then smoke comes up in that room too -- but that may be only pretence, just to make it look as if they had a fire. Well then, the books are something like our books, only the words go the wrong way; I know that, because I've held up one of our books to the glass, and then they hold up one in the other room....
...' She was up on the chimney-piece while she said this, though she hardly knew how she had got there. And certainly the glass WAS beginning to melt away, just like a bright silvery mist.
In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room. The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind.
as in backwards ie, this is the last clue?
There are 12 chapters in Through The Looking Glass. Perhaps there is one clue in each of the chapters.
and thats chapter 1. Definatly sounds like alice in wonderland. I've never done one of his hunts though. Does he always do this?
Go to The Ghosts of Treasure Hunts Past and you can read the clues from his other hunts.
O.K. I want to repost this since i'm sober now...
Yesterday was busy busy busy and flew by.
My daughter was sick ....and now is feeling great...her temp yesterday did a spike just before I left to go to the pre-dig...so I told my wife I won't go long...
I really didn't have that much time to say Hi to everybody but I wanted to stop by......
then after I got home my wife told me we had to go to my brother in law's house for dinner...(his boys are "kids gone wild") so I usually get drunk at his house during dinners to drown out the kids......
but for some reason maybe the beers at FF snuck up on me and made me really hammered last nite....or the wine at dinner....
anyways..I really wanted to stick around more last nite and meet more people I didn't want to seem like I was stuck up or something....I just had a lot on my mind with Katie being sick.....I was worried about her temp increasing that fast and not knowing why....(she's feeling a lot better today)
Maybe mixing beer, vodka and wine had something to do with it? I don't drink, but I've been told that mixing your alcohol like that will make you drunk or sick or something bad.
at least i'm not hung over..
Oldtimer...
is it you or KT that is part of the Petta clan?
That would be me, Kitch. Their mother was my sister.
ok...AND YOU SAY THAT YOU DON'T DRINK!!!
Oh my lord...there has been times I've counted a ton of the petta's at the CROW!!!
I think I'll go to bed. Maybe I'll have some weird dreams...
So that means that I should drink? A drinker by association? They're a great family. I consider them more like sons and daughters because their mother died young and I was the only aunt that lived in town here. I think they feel the same way.
They're a great family-- I have to agree!!!!!!
they truely are great neighbors and all very friendly!!!!!
peek through the looking glass
A glass peak? Like that Sunray clue for Conway.
what better a looking glass though, than the binocualr thingy on the overlook at the cherokee park end of the high bridge? should we be looking through that to see the park?
Don't forget about the dome of the conservatory CM.
Haha, AW would never do that to us
Chapter 2 is titled, The Garden of Live Flowers. We'll have to see if there is a pattern to the clues.
blasphemy M2K! I'm just glad that one of the rules for these mock hunts is that it can't be in Como.
Good noodle ares
Maybe getting ahead of myself here, but Chapter 9 is titled, Queen Alice.
thankee, sir!
Ahh, answered my own question with a check.
Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass, two seperate stories.
My guess at this point, Alice Park, or Cherokee, because Alice St. is connected to it.
(of course this is only a guess, I'm not sure why AW would reference the park so early)
I think it was 3M who suggested that maybe that's really the last clue. Everything in reverse. But doesn't sound like a clue 12 unless it just explains why things were reversed. Now I sound like I'm talking Jabberwocky!
King Street also runs into Cherokee.
Well, at least got a place to start looking :)
I think it was 3M who suggested that maybe that's really the last clue.
Not sure he would do that as Lilman already did the reverse clue idea for his Mounds Park hunt last summer.
