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.

Glad to share some knowledge, I can't say that I seriously think it's at Furness Pkwy, but it does make a good point. Don't overlook a park you're really familiar with.

Looking up Furness Parkway, which, by the way, I've never heard of before, I happened upon a really cool publication. It's from the U of M Press and is titled Community Parkways: An Urban Design Survey of Green Streets in the Twin Cities. Alot of really nice pictures of the various parkways around here.

Yeah, the parkways don't tend to get investigated much because, well, they're just parkways. There's lots of history behind em though. not that there's a ton of them around either, but some (like Furness) are just old railroad or streetcar tracks converted into walking paths. And they are public land, easily fit within the rules of where you could hide something.

I'd just say if you were going to hide it in one, you'd need to think up really good clues to keep people guessing, then go with the idea that most people instantly rule them out because they're small or insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

ok, while I was out I had a couple of thoughts....A caring home could also mean a shelter, so maybe a picnic shelter or warming house, and also "devil of a good time" could be playing hockey one of the teams is the Devil Ray's I think.

The devil considers evil a good time. But that is no help I guess. Also, my mother always said, "Idle hands are the devil's playground". So what can I do with that knowledge? Not much.

I have a question. Why doesn't my picture show up in the Shoot the Breeze thread? Shouldn't it show across the board?

That's strange. I still see that little snow flake looking thingy. Not here or in the Minnesota Sports, but in the Shoot the Breeze threads. I think those are the only ones I've posted in.
