2007 Oakdale Summerfest Hunt

Columbia Heights has a hunt?

I find it odd that Carolyn works there, and doesnt know about it. :goofy:

I don't think theres a fishing dock. It's more minigolf. If you go out century to 694 its just before 694 behind the little stripmall.

I can't say I was close. I never even went to the park. Shoulda, coulda...blah blah blah

Yup. the clues are posted at Tasty Pizza. Prize is 750. Pretty good considering the usual.

Sorry 3M, I've been there a few times on the oakdale hunt myself. I keep telling myself I need to take time off and really search for it, but so far I haven't. Maybe I'll learn for next year.

Does anyone know for sure what time Roseville's 1st clue is read this evening? I know it's either 6:30 or 7:30, I just don't want to miss out.

I'm guessing the reel they mentioned would be a movie reel. Marcus Cinema is really close to that park.

I wouldn't say that. I did go look at 4 or 5 parks. Just not the one on my list.

The basket ball was the biggest give away that we should have jumped on.

is it any coincidence the dictionary.com's word of the day is Languid?

I've certainly felt that way about hunting this year. Sad really.

Fwiw, there was a basketball court where I looked last night.

where was that?

Did you find that Tribute to Mutsley & Crew's 1000th find cache?

ooooh that one!!!!! wow!!!!

I spent ALOT of time in that park last year!!

well that sucks!

pizza! now I'm hungry.

lunch time

try tasty pizza in columbia heights then. At least you could get some clues and find a medallion :wink:

I would if I didn't have to drive to Bloomington and then back downtown for work this afternoon. wonder if they will deliver the clue with a pizza order. I know 'not to downtown'... but not a bad idea.

I beg to differ..... get the clue from Tasty, and then go see Carolyn at Pizza Magic :sillygrin:

is that where she works? I've been meaning to try that place out sometime.

Indeed it is... good stuff too...

Remind her if she ever sees an orange cobalt driving by, that's me. I drive past that place fairly often on my way to and from work. At all sorts of weird hours too.

no. Its on mudlake? Is that oakdale park?

They must have been getting phone calls about the location. They changed the web page from "The medallion has been found" to "The medallion has been found at Golfveiw park"

wish they would post the explanations.

Gonna call 'em KC?

Here's what I got from Sue.

"Coincidently, I'm in the process of typing the clue explanations at this

very moment and plan to publish them shortly."

Hah! I knew she was the cluewriter! I had some conversations with her in emails last year.

all right! Good jorb!

:eyeroll:

can't believe she didn't have them all typed in already geeesh

I'm sure she's making them up...

Still, My two favorite hunts of the off season are Oakdale and Roseville, because they're typically the best run ones.

Manitou days isn't too bad, I just wish they published the clues online, and didn't run their hunt at the same time as all the other ones.

Explanations are up.

Hmm.. I got some right, and some wrong.. figures.

I think I'll stop by and get a picture of the site in the morning. That'll be good closure on the issue for me.

wow

Either someone did a good job on figuring out the first 3 clues, or it was found by dumb luck again this year.

sigh* I'm going to the roseville kick off event tonight, Just going to be there long enough to hear the clue (it's been a tradition for me to go for that). Hopefully I'll have better luck with that hunt...

I'm suprised at how many we got right compared to last year! I think the 'green' clue woulda led us right to that park. we got the tax place and movie theater and playground and trashcans, basketball, benches and dogs and the church.

way better than last year

we should have had it on basketball alone, but we would have been all over the golf clues.

drove to ssp...nothing in the window.

Yeah, I told Sue I was much happier with the clues this year (in hopes that she'll keep them similar next year).

Way better than trying to figure out which deceased council member's childhood house is a block from the park it's in.

roommate is from SSP and he called a few people and got nothing he dosnt think they are doing one this year!!! witch SUCKS!!! but you win some and lose some!!
