2003 ThoseMedalingKids Mock Hunt

Submitted by ThoseMedallingKids on

Here is all the pertinent information on the hunt:

The TMK mock hunt will start on Wednesday, September 17, and end on Sunday, September 28.

Clues will be released at 9 pm each night.

There will be 12 clues in all.

The treasure will be hidden on public land in Ramsey County (stay out of the fairgrounds, off the indian mounds)

The treasure will not be hidden in a spot that will endanger hunters (along a cliff, under an electrical box, on the water of a lake/river, etc)

If there are questions or concerns, please try reaching me by email or egram. I will have my cell phone with me, but while I am at work it will be off. I will check messages during breaks though.

Prize will be announced. Donations are welcome.

    Yes, I have given out the park in one of the clues. Its hard though. If you can figure it out, you'll have a huge head start.

    well- that is how the PP would have made the clue work out- just like the clue for COMO and Walker

    and similar to the LLL that was in Redbears hunt- for Lower Landing Linus

    No, its just that I can't believe you made such an easy hunt and then get on here and try to tell us how hard it is, and everyone is believing you and making it hard in their mind.

    ok- I had to walk away from the computer to get some other things done
    like bathroom break and lunch :)

    anyhow -got thinking on the tough clue- Scoobys vehicle---

    lets seee....Scoobys ersatz- imitation/maybe a copy--would that be SCRAPPY-Doo? a Scrap yard?
    Reassemble could be recycle
    or an auto body shop

    so we got a scrap/recycle yard/autobody?

    I just thought of something else for conway with the embark clue...just behind sunray mall is that big bus pick-up spot, not sure if you can see it from the park though.

    Cherokee has become my favorite so far
    but I don't know any devilish things going on there right now :)
    or did we figure that clue out already? geeesh- can't recall whats been figured out and what hasnt so far...

    The Metric Auto is on Smith and Cherokee
    I thought there was something across from SSA

    anyone recall any other Scrap yards near a park?
    can you see the Scrap yard that is on University and 35E from any park? AA?

    You guys entertain me. People have figured out some of the clues, although they haven't figured out they've figured it out. There are bits and pieces that need to be brought together to help you figure out the place.

    Another interesting bit about Furness Pkwy, it used to be an old street car route.... embark?

    Another one, there's a Senior Citizen's high rise you can definately see from the parkway... Caring home.. and then there's a driving range on one end of the parkway, I'm finding golf balls all the time, yellow range balls..

    People walk their dogs on that parkway all the time too...

    Like you me2, I don't remember what's been discussed before. But reassemble Scooby's vehicle....couldn't that mean finding a clue by rearranging the letters in Mystery Machine or something? Not that I've gotten any clues by doing that, but it's just a thought.
