Andy - a wus (the vowel sounds like woof, a dog barking) is a slang term for a wimp, a baby, a weenie, if you will. AMD - 04:33pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5050 of 8457)

777 is the address on the side of the bathrooms Matt Watters - 04:34pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5052 of 8457)
777 is, as I hear, a number on the door of one of the bathrooms at C.P. Mr. Tomski - 04:35pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5053 of 8457)
Sure are lots of emotional people on here Mr. Tomski - 04:35pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5054 of 8457)
Sure are lots of emotional people on here. SueBee - 04:36pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5055 of 8457)
The 777 refers to the numbers on the bathroom buildings that most take to be the 3 pyramids of clue #8. 777 is a "lucky" number because you win jackpots in slot machines with 777. The word lucky is from clue #1. It's a stretch, IMHO (in my humble opinion). AMD - 04:38pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5056 of 8457)

SueBee: It is just way to easy to get attention on these stupid chatlines. I completely stopped conversation and everybody was talking to me. You guys are a bunch of low-life losers who cannot spell. Oh, I almost forgot, good luck to everyone! I hope you find it, but the most important thing is to practice safe hunting. Wear a condom!!!!!!!!! AMD - 04:39pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5059 of 8457)

BH, fore is a multi purpose prefix meaning before or in front of. There are many words that begin with fore, so, no offense, but if it's a clue, it probably wasn't meant in that way. AMD - 04:54pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5069 of 8457)
This is another meaning for fore.

NW No offences and you are correct. Just was trying more or less for feed back HEH heh. So then I happen to still think that Wood and Water
could possible be a last name. What do you think? AMD - 05:09pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5073 of 8457)
New Daddy, Obsolete means no longer being used. Do you know of anything that is not working. Could it be the water foutain? Obsolete is another meaning for Fore. JENNY HOULE - 05:09pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5074 of 8457)
DOES ANYONE THINK THAT CLUE 9 IS JUST TELL US THAT ITS AT CHEROKEE PARK.

Just got home, read through the last couple hundred postings, the server is awfully slow. Could someone be specific about where the walking/jogging path is? Usually in city parks it's marked but didn't see any signs. Itsinmypocket now - 05:13pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5078 of 8457)
Hey guys I'm back, and I believe I was the first one to say that 777 had some sort of affiliation w/that first clue. Also, if you take the word lots from clue 2 line 2 you could make slot, see the connection? I just drove by the big green chair across from the high bridge, and there are about 10 peopleg searchin for the med. Is that even a park? Is it part of CP??? Michael Kasal - 05:13pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5079 of 8457)
I hope it isn't found until I get there! I've been digging up cherokee park since the third clue. I am probably one of the main causes of all the snow removal *laughing* ...My kids and I deserve it so bad...we've spent at least six hours a day out there...

I just have to say about this that it better not be the same way that it was last year. It was pointing to one place and then it was found somewhere completly different. But I'm glad that this year I know where it is. Well, what park it is in anyway. I just hope that I'm the one that is going to find it!! Broken Handle - 05:14pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5081 of 8457)
I will see you there. AMD - 05:16pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5082 of 8457)
Terry, the joggin path runs parallel with Cherokee Rd. If you stand by the bathrooms you can see where it is dug up and then you can follow from there. Steve Tylor - 05:16pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5083 of 8457)

Michael, we all deserve to find it. We have been hunting for over 25 years and even had the earmuffs in our hands when it was down at the Capitol Mall but missed the connection. It is really luck if you happen to find it. Michael Kasal - 05:18pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5085 of 8457)

I was there with you 25 years ago! Some people say they plant it late in the game so it isn't found right away. What do you think? Itsinmypocket now - 05:20pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5087 of 8457)

Itsinmypocket now, My guess is no. But it is public ground which is fair play. Is there a plack that might give an overview of the chair down there?

AMD: I don't think so, but there's really no use looking there because that place is just too small-it'd get dug up in a minute if anymore people went down there. Well, off to Cherokee! Snowball2 - 05:27pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5098 of 8457)

I think they put the medalian in later, like after the first 8 - 10 clues. I mean if you think about it, if someone found it right away, that would take away all of the fun of looking for it. You know what I mean? Besides, there was one year that my dad was out looking for it and he look around ever single one of the poles that were at the park and then a couple of days later it was suddenly found there. I guess they would have to make it look like they are looking for the medalian and then just plant it somewhere. I am tempted to just go out there and sit there all night to see if someone comes and does that. You never know I guess. Madallion man - 05:34pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5101 of 8457)
It could be by a handecaped sign becuse it shows a guy in a chair and that leads up to a chairman which leads to a committe mr feeman - 05:35pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5102 of 8457)

No, no, no...the commitee thing is just to lead you to the CHAIRPERSON which if you look at the first part sounds like CHER and then at the begining it talks about opening a door. You would need a key for that. Put those together and you have CHERIKEE (however it may be spelt). MJ Frog - 05:40pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5106 of 8457)

The medallions site is known during the summer so that the clues can be made plenty in advance.... then they just go out after they are sure that it has snowed and will snow again to cover the spot and they hide it... there is no set day they do it on Allie Go - 05:44pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5109 of 8457)

It is in Cherokee for sure because in clue #9 it says someone that runs a comitee-a chairman.and to unlock the door-a key.put them together and get Cherokee. greenslvs2 - 05:46pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5115 of 8457)
I'm math-challenged. What's "C" in Roman numerals???? B.J. Mack - 05:47pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5116 of 8457)
MJ Frog, good thought. But the "high ground" could just refer to the fact that CP is high on the bluff, on the high end of the High Bridge.
I believe it's near Annapolis, because of the "double division" clue. You also need to see the three pyramids rising over the snow.
I'll be out there soon!!! Robyn - 05:47pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5117 of 8457)

The only thing that I don't like is when everyone was out at Mounds Park looking for it, there were people going over the edge of the cliff's looking for it, there were people going up on the old Indian Mounds looking for it and other places like that. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PUT IT ANYWHERE LIKE THAT!!! I wish some of these people would get that into their heads. It's not going to be put anywhere where people could get hurt, it's not going to be on private property or anyother places like that. Some of the treasure hunters have to use their heads!!

fair enough...the "double division" could just be a park pointer.
But clue seven says, "the medallion that promises lots of dough Is near a line of double division."
It doesn't hint at the park, it hint's at the medallion location.

Allan Thorn Is the Chairman of the Stadium funding Commission. I'm really surprised that no one has figured that out. What's more, traipse is defined as walking, and guess what, there are both walking paths and side walks at Mounds. Everyone should go there right now! I agree with Cake Girl!!!

Hey, can someone take a stab at "a large object will guide you"
I went to cherokee on Saturday, but still want to know what that
large object could be that threw so many people off for so long... Axel - 06:33pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5167 of 8457)

Read #8268 from CASEY!!!!!!
Large object could be smoke stack, Cathedral dome, rock, slide, bathrooms, trees, etc. It is how you might interpret things - near or far. Axel - 06:36pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5171 of 8457)
I still think the large object in view is the dome of the cathedral because of the mode and demo part of the clue huntandfind - 06:36pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5172 of 8457)

Landmark is visible from CP Shawnster Johnster - 06:38pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5175 of 8457)
From the perspective of the "clue-giver", I dont think I would
look at the Cathedral and say "Hmmm, how could I use that? Hey,
it's a large object!" You may be right though.
Anyway it is a trivial point since the double-division giveaway. Shawnster Johnster - 06:39pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5176 of 8457)
Yes, even the Landmark sign is visible from CP Larry Petrie - 06:39pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5177 of 8457)
The clues have cherokee ritten all over them, I can't believe that some people still think it is at mounds! The mounds are not "above" the snow like the clue says. Shawnster Johnster - 06:40pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5178 of 8457)
I live by Mounds. I'll drive by on my way to cherokee for a good
laugh. Some people like pneumonia I guess...

Most of the time the second part of the clue relates to the first part of the clue not a seperate issue. Terry Valentine - 06:41pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5181 of 8457)

The cathedral dome is large but then so are some of the other items in the park. It's hard to say what the clue writer is thinking. It's what makes all the nonsense so much fun. \
Have to sign off now to go chair the committee. Hope someone finds it from the Water Cooler. I'll check in later. Bye...

what do you think its in? I heard a video box-rosebud, or a snow globe, or a bread bag. What do you think?? mr.tomski - 06:47pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5184 of 8457)
Just came from Cherokee. Lots of people there. Maybe a 100 or more. Drove by Mounds, probably 40 people there. Two Sisters - 06:48pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5185 of 8457)
We are shocked that this thing has not been found yet. Here's a theory - whatever it was hidden in was found by the tree trimmers Friday night and was thrown away. Or perhaps it stuck to one of the tires on there trucks. How could it not have been found yet? Two Sisters - 06:49pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5186 of 8457)
New Daddy - we're thinking something rosebud related or bread related, such as a bread bag, or bread mix box. mr.tomski - 06:51pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5187 of 8457)

I just came from CP and there was only about a couple dozen people there. and i stopped by mounds and there was about three times as many people there than there was at CP. I dont know how you could say there was a 100. And im starting to wander if its even there any more. cause everything is completly dug up. mr.tomski - 06:56pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5189 of 8457)

Allie Go sure started something with the nametag idea. I've been reading through the past posts and noted that a lot of the Cooler regulars liked the idea. Might be something we have to think about for next year. It's a good thing I've been keeping a list of the best thinkers since the Cooler opened.

DD - this must be the case, otherwise, how could it have not been found? Tony - 07:04pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5198 of 8457)
Or else some chunk of solid ice. We spent some time out there. Can't believe how turned over the snow is, where can it be? We tried out the top of the sledding hill where you can see the tops of the pyramids, the smokestack, the city street leading into the park, the cathedral. It was a pretty popular place, but not as popular as I thought it would be. Arghhh!! Greg Sax - 07:04pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5199 of 8457)
Now that it's dark, I don't see it being found before 11:00 p.m. If you haven't already, I suggest you participate in the mad dash for the park from the downtown Press building rather than waiting for the clue to come out online.

I think tonites clue will tell us what the medallion is hidden in. What do other people think. The Sage - 07:10pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5205 of 8457)
OK this is really a stretch, but I'll toss it out. I studied the literary patterns of the clue writer for this year. Long lines but not very good rhythm or metre. Then I looked at clues from previous hunts and clues with the most similar style are from the 1995 hunt.
You'll see if you look that the styles are very different, suggesting different people and different thought processes.
Possibly the same person wrote the clues, or someone who thinks the same way. And if this is true, maybe we can learn about how this person thinks by studying the 1995 clues?
Like Bill Murray said in Caddyshack, if you want to catch this gopher, you have to get inside its pelt and crawl around for a little bit. You have to think like a gopher... i.e., the clue writer. Patrick Budion - 07:12pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5206 of 8457)
I think your right, tonights clue may only tell us what it's hidden in assuming it's not in a La Rosa pasta box and that "Rosebud" is actually a sled. Then we will have 2 days with no place to dig. The clue writer is really having fun. mr.tomski - 07:14pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5207 of 8457)

think the clues are more obscure because it was in cherokee in 92 so they had to look for original clues so that people wouldnt be able to compare em or find any patterns... Patrick Budion - 07:16pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5209 of 8457)

"Zach....." (said in a soothing voice) Look, it's only Monday... We've a few days left. Now, JMHO, tonite the clue will give objects or something-or-others to zone in on... Like, make you think about the area around/between/in relation to something else, that's already (I'm betting!) kind'a been pointed out/to in previous clue(s). Try not to give up hope... "we've many miles to go before we sleep." (DAMN!!! LOL!!! That is just TOO literal!!! I'm so tired I was dozing off at work today!!! Gotta be sick to put yourself thru this, but it's the funnest sick I've ever had!!!)

Sage: Ditto from this tired old brain. Note there are no people talked about this year as there have been in so many years past. All buildings, structures, objects. I'm of the opinion the folks at the Press are in some saddistic pool - all the writers switch off over the years, think up hiding places/clues... and take bets on us Cooler-junkies as to who's the silliest!!!! I feel like a rat in a glass testing cage!!!! I keep wondering if i'm gonna find my piece of cheese!!!!
Nate: Been thinking the same for about 2.5 days, but didn't want to voice it. Folks are *still* laughing at me about all my "double" stuff, but... at least to me, it's all so obvious!!! Hey, well. You speak it, better be able to put up with the rejounders.

Charlie Pride: The clue is released at about 11:00 p.m. from the Press building only. At 11:30 p.m. they post it on the Planet. Patrick Budion: Even with all the annoying posts from Joe Medallion and his many alter-egos, this year's Cooler is much livelier than last year. The Press must be drooling at the potential this group has. I had a chance to talk to Casey Trauer and he said it was by far the most popular Water Cooler room last year. My guess is it could equal all other conversations combined this year. Two Sisters - 07:54pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5248 of 8457)
Nathan - go to the park about 11:00 or so. Have someone call you on a cell phone with the clue when they get if online at 11:30. We did that Sat. night. mr.tomski - 07:54pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5249 of 8457)

Greenslvs2, Here I am. Was at the park at 6:00. Walked home about 7 and have been reading ever since.
AMD, shoveling the walks is NOT the block club's responsibility, it's Park and Recs and they say they don't have the money. Yeah, right.!

BW!!!! GREAT IDEA!!! Not only "I've a Well-diggers (referring to it being cold,*usually* when we dig!!!) @ss As I Do The PPMD," or something like that, LOL!!! But bs's for all diggers that "register," like here or something. We can ponder that.
Buttons!!! Yes!!! Buttons!!! Buttons (the sellin of!) could fund the PP prize... Or... the proceeds from the buttons, bumper stickers, hats, other neat junque... ALL THAT could be a new donation to charity... IN ADDITION TO the xtra $1,000 that PP gives the Med winner. A "double" (RISLOLWMP!!) whammy!!! A win-win for everybody!!! And, I'm willing to bet, having gotten to know lots of the "CCC" members... The Diggers would be thrilled (well, the adult majority!!!) to donate proceeds to charity!!!!!!
(That thought is from me feeling bad about someone (me and C????) finding the Med and then Charity not getting it. I feel kind'a crummy for being greedy.....) Cheryl Straight - 08:03pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5255 of 8457)

Mr. Tom: OH!!! Yes!!! Is this NOT the greatest!!! This is my very first year... And I'm having the biggest blast of all time!!! I'm so worried tho the kids - the rotten ones, not the nice ones - will ruin it and PP will throw their hands up in disgust. Purrsonally, I think if *we*, the PPMCC Members try and police "our" spot and keep the heat off PP - they have GOT to get tired of that crap - then maybe the PPMCC will continue. I'll be really unhappy if it doesn't. Med aside, even!!!
Side note: I'm learning wonderful history of my adopted state, learning how to get around the cities better, meeting and making new friends (waving to BW and C!!!), and getting a better appreciation for the businesses in the area.

Green I know where you're coming from with feeling bad about the charity thing. The couple of nights that I did go out and hunt my friends and I had decided that if we found it (there was three of us) that it would be easier to split $3000 by three so we had planned on giving the other $1000 to one of the shelters. I think we need to talk to someone to see if this venture would be possible. INMHO I think they would love the ideas if a portion were going to charity....

Just got back from Cherokee and a policmen was anouncing over
his speaker that the medallion has been found. The placed cleared
out in a hurry. I wasn't to sure, maybe he got some bad information,
so I decided to drive by the Pioneer Press bulding. When I walked
up to the door there was that dang sign that gets me every year saying the medallion had been found. :( This really stinks. Oh well
I'm really glad to have met so many people here on Water Cooler and
can't wait until next year. Hope to see you all then. greenslvs2 - 08:18pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5265 of 8457)

The hot-line for the Treasure Hunt is 228-2124, on which the voice says the hot-line will be "immediately" updated once the medallion is turned in.
At 8:32 I called, and the recording said the medallions has NOT been found.
It appears that there is either a pure knave working here, or the recording has not been updated (which would be strange given that it is to be "immediately" updated).
