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.
Did you guys see I got a Joe! A kilojoe! I was so proud.
I'm going to be leaving here soon to go and watch Queer Eye. I'll be back when it's over. Maybe something profound will occur to me while I'm gone.
Hello!!!
Finally home from work and done slogging.
The water part seems obvious - but with an eye could be waiter that serves you well - or eye water which would be tears.
The one time the PP medallion was at Cherokee, there was a water clue and it was a fire hydrant. Water can be anything.
Waiter could mean a restaurant nearby.
Hello!!
I was told a WEEK ago that this hunt would be going, and I keep forgetting to even check in!!
I have to say the clues pretty much have my head spinning. From the things I can make sense of though, I'm thinking Mounds. The caring home is the Marian Center, the third clue I'm not too sure about, although if you wanted to, you could make THORN street be the thing that gets under fur. The 4th clue's reference to a New England band's cd could be 10000 Maniacs "In My Tribe". There are tennis courts and the high/low thing also could be being able to see (eye) the water from both high and low ground.
That's all I've got for now, and I certainly have NOT ruled out a lot of other parks, but the most things make sense to me in Mounds right now. Hopefully, now tomorrow I can get out and take a look-see before dark!
Hey Mom! Glad you made it! We could use a new set of eyes on these clues!
Good noodling mom. A lot of people have a lot of good theories and reasonings. Too many to choose from right now.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned - and maybe it's because who knows where it might lead - or not lead....but it's dander that resides under fur.
It would be cool if you could hunt!

I've got a couple things to take care of around the house - tomorrow is garbage day and so I'll be back in a few.
"There are bits and pieces that need to be brought together to help you figure out the place." -This is a post from TMK
I said earlier that the clues are made up of 'bits and pieces' from previous clues. Check that post and you will see what I mean.
I still like Langsford. Hey AW, I 'reassembled' for a devil of a good time line from the clue and took out a few letters and came up with Langford. I like that Harrison Ford to ME2. Right now i'd say Lansgford my second choice would be Cherokee. I narrowed it down to two :)
You can reassemble "if with a keen eye you can see a caring home", remove some letters and get Cherokee too.
Can I ask what you reassembled to get Langford?
I think he left. He reassembled "for one devil of a good time" from clue #5.
But keep in mind you have to remove several letters to get there.
"Computers using the Athlon MP helped Scooby and his pals uncover villains; they also fought the dark side during the production of 'Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.' "
Does this mean anything? Probably not, but I thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone can make it mean something.
So far I've only come up with phantom.
hat on MP. Any military police around? Wearing hats? Thanks for the challenge though. It gives me something to do. :)
well right now I am confident that even if I somehow came upon "the answer" I wouldn't believe it myself
Just sometimes I try to hard and try to make things fit. Must of my theorys are way off base. However, some of them are kinda close. I just proofread some of these clues for grammer. They really dont make much sense to me so I know there is something with the way the clues are layed out. Like OT notice "tennis courts" I just know they have to yield some kind of meaning. :)
That's half the problem. Even if you hit on the right answer - there's at least a couple other ways of going with something and until you get to the right place and it all fits, you don't know if you're right or wrong.
Looks like the Arnold is going to be the new governor of California.
I went over to Cherokee this afternoon and realized after I got there that it isn't even the hunt itself that I'm hooked on. I couldn't care less if I found it. I would just like to be able to say I figured out some of the clues. So I pretty much just took a nice walk around the park.
It's the thrill of the hunt - not the finding that keeps us at this stuff.
If it was the finding - I would have been out of this years and years ago.
I have been looking back and the early nineties clues and locations on 8m site and noticed there a lines that seem to match TMKS' clues. It was the year they found it at Langford Park. Thats my thought process for now :)
I agree MV. That's why I think there is probably more to clue #7 than we've culled so far.
OR maybe TMK was the clue writer for Ma Press in the early nineties...
Tim, in the early 90's I was younger than you are.
No darn it! He still hasn't posted the second part of that last clue! Just kidding Kids. ;)
TMK- I know, I know. It doesn't really make sense, but neither do your clues.
Is that the clue you posted this afternoon AV? I can't remember what it was and meant to ask you where it had been found that year. That could be huge!
(At least not to me)
I GOT MY TREASURE HUNTER'S GUIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys want more hints? Dream on. I don't want to give too much out and basically tell you where it is.
Well, a girl can try. Even an old girl. ;)
I've been reading some old PP clues.
Well, I think I'm going to go hit my fringed pillow. ;) I'll be back on tomorrow to rework these clues.
Somewhere in an earlier post today by MV, he quoted a clue from an earlier clue and it was almost word for word. Did you see that? I went looking for it but couldn't find it.
Night Reggie. You crack me up Reg! When ever you give your one word posts and I see your picture of Bobby Zimmerman it seems like the words are coming out of his mouth and it seems so sad! He looks so sad in that pic!
There are parts of just about any clue that could be word for word of 50+ years of PP clues. No pattern that I'm finding though - at least not yet.
Oh sure, right after I talk about his one word responses he comes back with two sentences! But really Reg, the one he quoted was really close! I might stay up now and try to find it.
I'm picturing Reg's avatar with him saying "sup?"
