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.
Hope you got her cabinets off er I mean down ok ;)
Hey guys, sorry the clue didn't get out on time. Luckily I called Ares from work on my break. I was going to make sure he got it posted, and see what people were saying. That's when we realized he hadn't gotten to it. I made sure he got to it as soon as he could. Thanks for the patience folks. Next time this may happen will be Thursday, and I'll work things out more by then.
just e-mail it to me, I'll be sure to post it. I usually don't go anywhere durring the week.
I'll send it to you and LL also, besides Ares and Treasure chest. It will be Thursday, so I don't think that we have to worry about Ares helping her "put up cabinets". ;)
Yeah right. You guys are hardly noodling anything! You think its going to get easier? ;)
Nobody seems to have a clue. Maybe it will go all the way. If nobody finds it by 12, do I get to keep the prize money?
No! You have to come up with more clues then ;)
someone opps I mean I will find it before 11!

Hey Reg, delete your email post. I got the addy.
me too, G'night!
 joe!
my brother and i were removing her kitchen cabinets
What about her drawers??
Like he was going to remove her from his drawers.
Hmmm, not too many parks near golf courses. Seems a bit early to narrow it down like that though. Must be a trick somehow.
Hey Reg, delete your email post. I got the addy.
Ok done.
Be on the lookout for a New England band's cd
I thought about Boston actually, but how does that end up helping anything? Unless it's not the "Boston" CD.
There's "Corportate America", "Boston", "Don't Look Back", "Third Stage", "Walk On", and "Greatest Hits" according to their official site. I don't see any of those being much of a clue.

What about her drawers??
well she did have a few drawers in some of the cabinets... ;)
Hmmmmmmm, so what did you find in her drawers?
Hmm, lilman said his hunt was tough. I think I brought mine to a whole new level. If something doesn't quite feel right, explore other options.
I think tough is good if after you read the explanations you think to yourself, "Duh, why didn't I see that?!" But if we're talking about a French flag that's on a school two blocks away from the park or having to note a discrepancy between a date on a website and a date on a sign...
we are heading to the tap & grill in north st paul to watch the vikes if anyone wants to join us.
I realize now that I could have changed a few words to make it a bit easier. I think I erred too much on the side of making it tough. I have given the park out already, so I wanted to make that one tough. If the person gets it, I think they deserve the head start they get. I've given some clues as to where its in the park, whats in the park, what you can see from the park, and what the treasure is in. People might disagree with me on my philosophy. Oh well. I've done my best for my first time. :)
well, so far all i can figure from this is that it's a park that you can see a golf course, Daycare/nursing home, and I think it will be in a cd case. with the golf balls, I think it will be a spot where stray golf balls end up when someone hits a bad shot.
But of course I'm probably way off the mark!
I suspect it's not within the City limits - but in greater Ramsey County somewhere. I actually dreamt about hunting with everyone last night and we were somewhere with lots of rolling hills with some water off in the distance.
We're heading back earlier than usual today and thought we could do some scouting. Keller is a place I want to check out. It's near a golf course, out of the city limits, and it seems to me there's some care home of some sort in the vicinity.
Keller has lots of hills and water :)
off to work I go. I'll be back by 8 with the clue. I'm going easier on you guys tonight ;)
Actually TV-I like that idea as well- my thought were to Phalen-Frost Lake-Keller FOR NOW :)
good, cuz I'm lost!
my daughter spent the night with her Godmom and came home with a Scooby Doo punching bag this morning:)
I have a list going but am looking into it more-
as for your ideas Kel- I think you have a good way of looking at the basics-and will fare well during the PP hunt ;) those ideas direct me to Phalen
Yeah, That's kinda where I'm at for now but we will see after tonight :)
I think he's being sneaky though :)
Fleas get under fur
golf balls left and found could be a hitting range or just RANGE
or you find them in water or traps or in the brush
if you need binoculars then maybe there is a lookout or nice view
the CORNER part of clue 2 make me wonder if its in the corner of the park-the corner of the city-the corner of the county.
I dont know what Scoobys vehicle reassembles is yet BUT loot makes me think of gangsters and caves.
Villian AND caring home made me think VILLA park as well
New England CD -I like BOSTON Market near by
I wouldn't really want to believe it was out of St Paul but at the same time we need the practice
Awesome ideas! I was thinking fleas too but can't fit fleas into anything.
or maybe ticks? A clock?
I like your ford thought Me2, the ford plant is close to Highland and Hidden falls.
good 2nd step with the clock LL
My husband said woodtick but I didnt grasp the tick tock
nice
"reassmbles" is usually a cue for an anagram. But I suspect we're not supposed to anagram the phrase in the clue, but rather another phrase, that the phrase in the clue suggests.
good thinking AW- just gonna work on it today-
now that the party is over and I have recuped I can focus on FOOTBALL and this hunt ;)
GO VIKES!
I tried anagraming some of the vehicles you posted but havn't had anything jump out at me yet.
