The Treasure Has Been Found!

Terry

One of these nights I'll actually get here at clue time.

Any people out tonight already know how bad the roads are. Hope you all make it to your destinations safe and sound.

I like the warn her clue.

The dog poo stuff made me think of Arlington/Arkwright. :-)

The most annoying part of the PP hunt for me was 1) Crosy, Crosby, Crosby, Crosby, and 2) trees, trees, trees, trees

If AW is doing the opposite of the PP hunt, then it must be in the park where most heterosexuals go to hook up for a little intimacy outdoors.

I agree that it is one of the more complicated table games that casinos have in comparison to Blackjack or Roulette but once you get over the small learning curve, you will be having fun at one of the most exciting table games that casinos offer.

The Obvious Facts

Let's start from ground zero in trying to explain the game of craps and craps rules.  First, the game of craps is played with a set of two dice that are each six-sided. These dice are thrown on a craps table that is typically a felt-covered table that may look something like the graphic below:

http://www.askmrcraps.com/images/craps_table.gif

The dice are thrown by participants in the game in a clockwise rotation that gives all participants an equal chance at throwing the dice.  The dice must be thrown from one side of the table to the other and almost all casinos will want the dice to hit the opposite back wall to insure no loaded dice or cheating.  (Don't ask me how people cheat but that's what a pit boss once told me.)  The results of each throw determine the payoffs on the table which will be examined later in this text and on this site.

The Crux of It

The most direct way to explain the game of craps is to talk about the flow of the game which revolves around "making the point".  The idea behind craps is to roll a "point" (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) on the come-out roll and then after that point is established, the dice thrower (shooter) wants to roll that same point number before he/she rolls a 7. If a 7 is thrown, then the point is lost and the process starts over.  If the point is thrown, then the process also starts over again. (Payouts are made at that point also). It's that simple and the game can be played by making only those bets that play "with the dice". Of course, there are many other bets to make in craps and craps rules involved with those bets and those will be examined later.

That is the nickel and dime explanation of the idea behind craps but I think people like to learn by example so our next chapter concentrates on the most integral bet in craps - The Pass Line.

But the Great River Road twists around a couple of parks.

Good noodle, me2.  I thought of that also.  However, are there tracks that aren't mapped? That thinking lead me back to CoNo with the trolley tracks.

we/I (dont know if TMK agreed fully or not) ...reverted back to CoNO while at the Moose- It all fits there well BUT ...thats the thing....everyhunt-every clue has always been able to fit there.

Bingo.  Hence CoNo is TRULY Lucifer's Lair, the den of deceit! Time will tell.  I did some driving around tonight but nothing really jumped out at me.  Are there any parks that now have those doggie do dispensers? Those things that give you bags to pick up after your animal? Some of the newly renovated parks might have these...

Clearly tonight's clue wasn't as obvious as I thought it would be. Tomorrow's clue will hopefully accomplish what I thought tonight's would.

Seek unmapped terrain and it will make you an ace.

Take the "A" Train by Chicago


Come on down, let's Take The "A" Train
To take a little ride around the city.
Brooklyn or Broadway train
You'll see that old New York is kind of pretty.

Take your baby subway ridin'
That's where romance may be hidin' (let's take a ride)
Take, you should Take The "A" Train
To get to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem.

Come on baby, climb aboard The "A" Train
That's the way to get to Sugar Hill in Harlem
And if you get aboard the "A" Train
You'll get to Sugar Hill and in a hurry.

Listen here, listen to the train a comin'
Hear the rails a hummin' (let's take a ride)
Climb aboard, climb aboard the "A" Train
To take a little ride around the city.

There's a lot of people who contributed to the hunt who I've not heard anything from. I wonder what they're thinking? Where's Rush Harley?

Fifth and sixth are no fun, go for number one
When the clock strikes come near to warn her.
And though it’s no fun, clean up when doggy’s done
Then take your clue from that running corner to corner.

Plead the fifth?
Fifth of booze? ...I like this

Also known as the "river" card. In flop games, this represents the fifth community card on the table and the final round of betting. In Stud games, this is the fifth card dealt to each player and represents the third round of betting.

Positively 5th street is a book about poker

6th- street
Sixth Street
In Seven-card Stud, this is the fourth "up" card dealt to the player (their 6th card). It is also the 4th round of betting.

strikes= baseball?

corner to corner = baseball ..running the corners??
hmm...split the octogon?
in the area of the park that is farthest from the chip?

hmmm....

chip = A fragment of dried animal dung used as fuel.

oh...bbq = i know this is just sick...."PIGS EYE"?

I was thinkin' the same thing....

I honestly think half the fun is noodling...I'm 95% sure I won't find it now...but If I can pull an "AW" move and tell people where to look first I can at least say I did that....

I'm sure now I have drove or walked within a block of it....

Don't cross pollinate the clues. You'll just get scary mutant noodles that will keep you from ever finding the treasure.

oh no...I'm in trouble I noodled with TIM last night.... should have noodled with my normal noodling partners....

But did you use protection or did your noodling fluids mingle with his noodling fluids? If Tim had a bad noodling disease, it could sidetrack you for days.

Don't worry Kitch, I've been checked.
