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.
It's a Harriet! Meet me there! :)
LL, I corrected the clue in the clue thread. I meant you. Thank you for pointing it out. I just copied it down wrong from my notes.
that was good Ares or whoever you are ;)
but no tennis courts down on Harriet- for yell the boats make noise
but that is for a different hunt :)
ok, he changed it, it's you will yell
Pig Eye here we come! (Susie)
Clue 7
What goes with salt, moccassin, and torture
And with an eye can serve you well
See it high and low for sure
And in the right park you will yell
Then I don't have to figure out what is going to yell. Thanks for pointing that out LL.
the letters of each sentence
WAS A waiter?
Highland has the historic water tower, as well as two more water towers, and 2 underground reservoirs. I always have to say that when there is a water clue that might refer to a water tower.
high and low would be TIDES
well it is a nice way to use water for a clue and not mean water...or does it mean water? ;)
What do you mean by too easy Reggie? Just that you got water out of it or did you get more?
That's the rub me2. Water, waiter? Was a waiter?
Is moccassin spelled with an extra "s" on purpose? Is it a clue?
I think it just means water.
Main Entry: wait·er
Pronunciation: 'wA-t&r
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
1 : one that waits on another; especially : a person who waits tables (as in a restaurant)
2 : a tray on which something (as a tea service) is carried : SALVER
Maybe they're all a clue. And he's trying to lead us into thinking that the clue is water or waiter when actually the clues are salt, moccassin and torture.
I think we just want water :)
Spell check shows that moccassin is spelled right.
Up high and down low :)
Moccasin was spelled incorrectly. There's nothing big about the spelling of it.
well water could be drinking fountain - so water can be in every park!!!
However moccassin is spelled. It's not important to the clue.
even from say Mounds or Cherokee -you can see watertowers from there and have water below
and at Highland there are 2 swimmingpools and water towers and golf ;)
My Microsoft Word says it should have only one "s", dictionary.com says only one "c" but 2 "s"'s. Who knows, but it doesn't matter.

I see what I did. I ignored the spell check of moccassin and "used as is". So now it's telling me there are no misspellings.
However moccassin is spelled. It's not important to the clue.
How would you know ARES?
Because it is me, Kids. I'm posting from Ares' computer. He can't change the PF user for this, so I'm posting for him.
Yeah, water high and low is pretty vague. Give us the rest of the clue now Kids!
Clue 7

And in the right park you will yell
There must be more clues here and not just water high and low.
There isn't more to tonight's clue. You guys have lots as it is. You just need to put more things together.
ok-we are gonna go watch about schmidt
I will be back in the morning
Bye me2. Nice to know someone has a life.
So if you're right and there is no more to this clue than water high and low, that means we have to go back to the previous six clues which we have worked to death!
Ok. Who is still here and why did everyone stop talking? I'm getting paranoid!
Lets work them to death again.
(everyone else is out finding the medallion)
just quiet
If you're right, I wonder what I missed. I have a feeling we, or at least I, missed something more in that last clue. I've gone six ways to Sunday on the other six.
Naw, I just think that everyone is in a deep state of noodling.
