Why not Joe?

Am I ever disgusted! I should've taken the day off from work, after all. I was digging late (early) into the night and again this morning until work called. I hope they aren't lying about searching for it for all those years -- it makes the wound hurt a little less (Kind of like a band-aid, I guess!) This is probably my last hunt; I'm relocating in a couple of weeks to a warmer locale for flight attendant training. Next year, I hope I'll at least have access to the Water Cooler! I'm already suffering serious withdrawal:( I hope to be at the picnic Sunday - would be nice to see you all! I'd also like to reconnect with those I met in line during the past few nights, like "Kevin Costner" and the "Butt Man", but , alas, it's not to be. Best of Luck to one and all next year!:) mr.tomski - 04:00pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7211 of 8458)
Why not Joe? Are you grounded? Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:00pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7212 of 8458)

Psst. Pass it on.
Clue explanations will go up as soon as we can get the mysterious clue writer to provide them. Since I have NO idea who that is, all I can say is that they'll be posted soon.
Check back tonight at about 8 p.m. We should have them by then. Plus a profile of the winners.
Thanks all for playing.

Treasurehunter Extraordinaire that wasn't good enough THIS year...
I didn't get much in terms of insight and new ideas from the Cooler, but I did have some great conversation! :) All my developing was from me, and talking to others on site at CP. Since I was digging no more then 5 yards away from where it was supposedly found for the past two days, I think I did a good job, no? Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:13pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7247 of 8458)
I know. It sucks, doesn't it? Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:14pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7248 of 8458)
Oh my God, there's someone else in here, Clay!! Rob Norris - 04:15pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7249 of 8458)
I WAS ABOUT NOT EVEN 5 FEET AWAY FROM THEM WHEN THEY FOUND IT. PLUS I THINK THEY JUST PUT THE MEDALLION THERE BECAUSE WHY WERE THE CHANNEL 5 NEWS CREW EXACTLY THERE RIGHT ON TIME RIGHT WHEN THEY FOUND IT? COINCIDENCE? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. I SPENT AT LEAST 100 HOURS AT CHEROKEE LOOKING FOR THAT DAMN THING. I LOOKED WHERE THEY FOUND IT 3 NIGHTS AGO AND I DID NOT SEE THE CRACK THERE ON THAT TREE. I THINK IT IS SETUP. WHAT DO ALL OF U THINK ABOUT THE NEWS CREW BEING THERE? Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:17pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7250 of 8458)
All news crews should be dragged into a dark alley and shot! Who agrees with me? CK1 - 04:18pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7251 of 8458)
Joe- I'm hurt. I made your least favorite list? Hey, if you want a ride to the picnic, 11:30 a.m. Sunday, at Cherokee, just let me know. I'll come pick you up (seeing as how your car's in the shop and all...) Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:20pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7252 of 8458)
You're one of my least favorite because you heckled me when you already knew that I was kidding! By the way, I can just walk to the picnic. Thanks, anyways! mr.tomski - 04:20pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7253 of 8458)
14 year olds dont drive cars Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:21pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7254 of 8458)

What would the point or repercussions of a setup be, if it were true? That's a bunch of crap. Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:22pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7256 of 8458)
Who was Whitey-Black? He said that he hated me, so I want to meet him face-to-face! Shelly - 04:22pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7257 of 8458)
Hi all -- I would just like to say that I have been addicted to the water cooler since it started last week! I've put out a couple of ideas, but they didn't pan out. Oh well, you guys did a good job deciphering and I hope one of you finds it next year!! Thanks for taking up my work day -- maybe now I can finally get something done!! mr.tomski - 04:22pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7258 of 8458)
That does sound suspicios Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:22pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7259 of 8458)
What's a repercussion? Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:23pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7260 of 8458)
What sounds suspicious, Mr. Tomski? mr.tomski - 04:24pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7261 of 8458)
That the news crew just happened to be there Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:26pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7262 of 8458)
Hello? Is anybody here? mr.tomski - 04:26pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7263 of 8458)
20 yrs. of hunting and this was by far the funnist of them all.THANK YOU COOLER CREW! Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:27pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7264 of 8458)
I second that motion! Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:29pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7265 of 8458)
I also got addicted to the Water Cooler, Shelly! Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:30pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7266 of 8458)
Once again, what's a repercussion? Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:31pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7267 of 8458)
Hey Matt, CHANGE YOUR GRAPHIC! Joe-Joe Medallion - 04:33pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7268 of 8458)
Well, I gotta go! See ya! upallnight - 04:34pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7269 of 8458)
I second that emotion. Iam from New Jersey and i tell you they would never do what we all did in the last 11 days. One thing i can say about minnesotans and saintpaulits spacificly is that you can have fun at 1'oclk in the night in the middle of winter with a snow shovel.
ALL HAIL THE COOLER CREW!!!!!!!! jeep - 04:36pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7270 of 8458)
think when they found it one of them called the new's crew to the scene to get them on tv there at the park? Terry Valentine - 04:37pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7271 of 8458)
Read #8268 from CASEY!!!!!!
Can't believe it. At least the Water Cooler was mentioned. No newbies this year and no one on their lunch break just strolling through the park. LENORE TUCKER - 04:39pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7272 of 8458)
Hey Cooler Crew thanks for the TALK.....My brother from Chicago, brother from White Bear and myself & 2 sons from Pittsburgh PA did some digging until we had to fly back...... but were able to stay in the hunt from IL and PA with your talk.......wait til next year!!!!!! SueBee - 04:56pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7273 of 8458)
Ok, to reiterate: PP Cooler Crew Re-Hash party Sunday, February 8. Cherokee Park. Starts 11:30am (thanks Greenslvs for making it when I can get there!!) Bring what you want to eat. There are grills and at least two Coleman stoves to share. Wear something white that's out of the ordinary for winter (bandana, tube sock on your arm etc...)AND if you will, a nametag of some sort with your "handle" on it so we know who's who. Actually, I can bring sticky name tags and a marker. It's going to be a great time!!!
Thanks to everybody for making this so much fun. I'll definately be back next year. iced - 05:05pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7274 of 8458)
Well just to let you know, it might sound funny but thay had a news crew there @ 2:00 a.m. in the morning! :)) It was very cold but thay had there cameras out and filming. Thay new it was there, but I don't think thay new where.
I was really looking forward to looking for it tonight! :(* Allie Go - 05:05pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7275 of 8458)
To Med Tracker...tell your buddy thanks for me for making the phone call...glad I was with someone I knew when I found out the medallion was found. Geez, I was in complete denial. Amazing how close we were to it. I'm off to cry in my coffee. I'm still cold from being out all day. See you next year. College Kid - 05:14pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7276 of 8458)
The news just said that it was found in a baby's sock. Do any of the clues point to that? Allie Go - 05:15pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7277 of 8458)
No way!!! A baby's sock?!!? Allie Go - 05:16pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7278 of 8458)
Oh yeah...the sock named "Rosebud."!!! Yeah, that's it. College Kid - 05:16pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7279 of 8458)
Yeah way. I don't get it. ShovelBoy - 05:16pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7280 of 8458)
on the hunt
I'll try and make it on Sunday...but I have plans that I normally do on Saturday nights that keep me out till at least 4:30am. But if it is going on for awhile, I'll try and make it out later... Bummer that it wasn't cooler crew that found it and bummer that the people who did find it, read posts here and didn't contribute, admitedly. But no sour grapes I guess, congrats... Now I have to find out what to do with my time...I too was looking forward to going out tonight....Oh well. I will be out with the shovel next year. The only kind of shoveling left for this year is the kind that nobody wants to do. Think what we could do if the manpower that was put into that medallion were transferred to other things. We could power St.Paul for a year on that kind of juice... Ill be bopping in and out of here for a couple days yet I suppose, but for those who wont...nice working with you and we'll see you Sunday and/or next year.

Wes, do you know about the PPMCC Re-Hash Bash this Sunday in CP? Lori Howell - 06:00pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7316 of 8458)
I am another bummed out medallion hunter. At least we don't have to be outside hoeing at 3 in the morning. It cracked me up last night when I got there at 1 and everyone was digging viciously. I laughed for the first 10 minutes. It was a hoot! Now I can find something else to obsess about
How about you all? are you bummed or what? Heidi Harden - 06:03pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7317 of 8458)
I was out 'til midnight last night and up and at it again from 5:00 to 7:00. Then I went to work and programmed the phone number for the medallion update into my phone. I hit speakerphone and redial so much that when I finally got the message that the medallion had been found everyone who works around me groaned and moaned too! Most of them didn't even know about the hunt until I started giving them daily updates! Joe-Joe Medallion - 06:03pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7318 of 8458)
Well then, how do you want me to talk, Mr. Tomski?

Is the bash at CP in the morning or at night like when the clue would come out? I would feel like an idiot if I was there but no one else was. (Kind of like times looking for the medallion) I'd like to stop by. Is it pot luck or catered ;o) Wes Evans - 06:29pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7330 of 8458)

Greg Sax: You've kept a low profile today...
I'm sure you've read about the First Annual PPMCC Re-Hash Bash that's being held this Sunday, February 8 at CP, beginning at 11:30 a.m. I'm hoping you can make it, even tho you just drove home last weekend. It just wouldn't be the same w/o you - you were a major part of The Cooler. Please try and come. Please try REAL hard. Thanks. greenslvs2 - 06:32pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7332 of 8458)
Lori, Wes!!! Hi!!! didn't realize anybody but moi was here! greenslvs2 - 06:35pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7333 of 8458)
Re: The Bash - bring all your own stuff... I'm trying to figure out how we can have/make coffee for everyone, but not able to think of a way. Guess I've gone brain-dead from those damn clues!!!
If you wish to bring xtra of something or a dish/salad/or something to share - that is up to you. Somebody's bringing xtra stakes, I think Matt. I'm thinking about brining a salad of some kind to share in addition to what I bring for myself.
We'll have the grills at CP, plus me and Cheryl are bringing our Coleman stoves in case they're needed.
If you've any ideas, let's hear them!!! Lori Howell - 06:36pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7334 of 8458)

Catch ya later! New Daddy - 06:37pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7335 of 8458)

Hay, ND!!!! You coming Sunday? We gonna see The New Addition??? (Hope you didn't have "DOUBLE DIVISION" and have twins!!!) New Daddy - 06:42pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7337 of 8458)
I'll Be there with the little fella, but he won't let me stay long. greenslvs2 - 06:42pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7338 of 8458)
After work I went back to try and find the "crack" tree. Man, *I* couldn't decipher "crack" outta that pale writing. There were about 40 of us, hanging around the tree... trying to like accept it, you know?
I got a little teary-eyed. CP was SO QUIET and looked so forlorn - like raped. It was hard to believe I wasn't going back there tonite. I hope we get a good hard, heavy snow soon to cover the scars of our hunting. (sigh) greenslvs2 - 06:43pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7339 of 8458)
There'll be plenty of baby sitters for him, you have to say long enuff to eat!!! Wes Evans - 06:44pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7340 of 8458)
coffee ( instant and a pot to boil water on the colman stove!) you make me really want to be there! greenslvs2 - 06:48pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7341 of 8458)
Wes, LOL!!! Well... that's what *I'm* used to as I camp. I was thinking if somebody could bring lots of water, I'd get these coffee things where they're like a huge tea bag and make one pot of coffee, and if folks could bring a pot/coffe pot or two, we'd have plenty of coffee.
No instant tho, it's REAL coffee!!!!! Westsiders - 06:48pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7342 of 8458)
Hey all, I was an infrequent contributer to the cooler but enjoyed listening in immensely. We just moved to St. Paul this summer, but did all our digging with our "veteran" friends. The whole thing has been truly amazing to me. Sorry to all who missed it this year, esp. those who obviously had more emotionally invested in it than I did. If I find it next year will I still be ridiculed as a "Newbie"? I know I haven't served my time yet, but my life sure did come to a screeching halt this last week. Can't wait 'till next year! Dan Fish - 06:49pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7343 of 8458)
Greenslvs there is an electrical oulet under the solo picnic pavillion. I saw people brewing coffee there yesterday. BeeyoB - 06:49pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7344 of 8458)
This is the last, not-so-live broadcast. Well, we tried, and will do so again next year. Thanks to all (except Joe, I'm telling Casey your back!) for making it a ball. Sunday sounds like a good idea, let's contact the finders and see if they'll sponser. Take care all. Wes Evans - 06:51pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7345 of 8458)
hehe well maybe someone will come up with a generator and a coffee maker!

DAN, YOU'RE A LOVER!!! I'll bring my coffee make and have Cheryl bring her's two!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Westsiders: this was my first year and I wasn't ridiculed as a "newbie"... Maybe a DUMMY - LOL!!!! - but not a newbie. You're no longe a newbie - you've got one hunt under your belt!!!

Wes: That's what a hip whip and cape will get you in subzero MN temps!!! No wonder The Clue(less) One said it wasn't appropriate!!!
West: Not a native, but have lived here 12+/- years. Never paid a bit of attention to the Med hunt... Then one day last week - seems like years ago!! - I saw a clue and for some damn reason started pondering and pondering it AND PONDERING IT. And my mind became like a damn rat in a wheel - I COULD NOT stop thinking and running ideas past folks here!!! Wasn't this the most fun? I'm so sorry it has to end. :( Wes Evans - 07:05pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7359 of 8458)

WHAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IS IF THE PP WOULD MAKE A TEXT FILE OF ALL THESE MESSAGES, GOOD AND BAD, AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE. THIS IS A LOT OF DIALOGUE, REALLY HUGE. JUST MAYBE IT WOULD MAKE FOR INTERESTING READING, FROM BEGINNING TO END. A LOT OF "CHARACTERS" CONTRIBUTED. Wes Evans - 07:11pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7362 of 8458)

Wayne, I was thinking that. What if there was a web page just for all the stuff Greg Sax told us to go hither and yon to get, What's-his-name's daily diaries, the log of the past week, etc.???? Instead of copying it to Word - which made my stuff come out usless! - we could just download the file.
I wonder if Greg would/could do Web page???? Black Widow - 07:16pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7365 of 8458)
Hey Green I finally finished reading the days back log. Sunday sounds like a great idea. I'll probably have to come a little later since Sunday is the day we shop for my mother-in-law she doesn't drive. I like the idea of the pre-hunt bash as well. Don't forget ALL 1999 is the year of the THREE PLANETEERS!!!!! All Hail Cooler Hand Luke!!

Ya wanna keep going eh? OK, I've hidden a timeless lawn ornament somewhere in Ramsey Co. IT COULD BE WORTH BILLIONS! Here's the first clue: It's cold outside, snow covers the grass.
Wear mittens and boots, go freeze off yer ass.
The crowds have all gone from Cherokee Park.
You'll be by yourself, all alone in the dark.
For big money prizes, aren't what you'll look fo.

But, see??? It's the stuff like that - the humor, the comarraderie (sp?), the clicking of us all that I'm going to miss. I better stop or I'm going to cry.
BUT!!!! There's always 1999 to set our sites on!!!! By god, we WILL next year!!! One of us WILL be in that parade next year with the rest of us walking beside the float. Maybe the PP will have our logoed wear ready by then so we look spiffy!!!! greenslvs2 - 07:25pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7371 of 8458)

I thought of that, was going to take on the job... but we *really* don't know any of us and it would be SO DAMN EASY for some jerk to send a virus.... That scares me.
Tho, if you wanna do that and *also* somehow convince me you're legit and I don't have to worry... Well, me and BW and C could put the stuff together, send it to you and you could send it to every one... But *maybe not* Joe Medallion???????? greenslvs2 - 07:32pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7373 of 8458)

I know how we can make SUPER easy costumes - I was a pumpkin, tho - that we could each be a different planet... and all three of us could have the same head - CAESY'S OR COOLER HAND LUKE!!!!

Which hunt book are you looking for? I have "The official 1987 Winter Carnival Treasure Hunters Guide" and the "Treasure Hunters Guide" from 1996. The 87 one lists all the clues from 1952 thru 1986, key explanations and recurring patterns of clues and the locations of all the treasure sites through 86. Good information but was before word processing as we know it. Would be great redone! greenslvs2 - 07:39pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7379 of 8458)

Only once a year am I saddened the way that I have been today. The sad, terribly, and tragic news was given to me not long after the lost treasure was found. I look over to where the wonderful and sacred hiding place of the mysterious medallian was placed and think back to a few minutes ago as I was leaning against that very tree, tying the laces on my snow boots and then running from the treasured medallion that I, and so many others, longed to find, just to catch up with the rest of my group as we continued our journey to find this wonderful prize. But no, my hopes and dreams were shattered when I recieved the heartbreaking news that THE DAMN THING WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FRICKIN' NOSE!!! Black Widow - 07:52pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7389 of 8458)

All PPMCC Members... I've just had my heart touched by an angel...
You know that we HAD to have caused the PP a bunch a probs with our enjoyment and fun of this particular Cooler, what with clogging up the server constantly, etc... And you KNOW what a dear Casey was to us - always honest, rite there when we needed him, always cheerful, willing to help and soothe our feathers when we got riled by something/someone...
So, I privately invited him to The First Annual PPMCC Re-Hash Bash. Well, like, if he's not a member with all he's done/did for us... Then none of us are members!!!
This is what Casey replied:
"greenslvs2,
Thanks for the invite. I'm sure my ability to attend will depend entirely on my ability to recover from my Saturday night poker game.
Anyway, the massive participation in the Water Cooler has been quite the buzz around the PP. And if I can't come, please extend my thanks to the PPWCC for a fun and lively discussion board.
Cheers,
Casey Trauer
Planet night editor"
Nice guy, Casey. Let's all hope he makes it Sunday!!!!

All this DOESN'T have to end!!! NOPE, NADA, ZIPPO!!! Don't gotta end!!! We can keep going!!! Why? Because there's other WC topics!!! Yup!!!
Not like we're gonna all want to go to the same ones at the same time or even to the xtent we did our dear Med one... But... we can meet and talk and LEARN and CHALLENGE EACH OTHER and SHARE OPINIONS and DISCUSS and TALK.... Because the Med maybe gone, but The COOLER lives on!!!!
The PP is always having a WC about ANYTHING!!!! Like when Dave Moore passed away... I even thought of going in there, but... well... didn't understand about the WC's and all that..
But now I DO!!!! Now, I'll feel more like going into the other ones and meeting people and sharing ideas... and in some of them we may run across each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are the ones who found the medalion this year. I just want to say it was fun chatting with you all.see you all next year, please send feed back. S&M greenslvs2 - 08:50pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7422 of 8458)
giddy!!! LOL!!! First, we need WATER and lots of it for the coffee. BW e-mailed me and thought of gallon milk jugs - like somebody suggested we pour on the snow to melt it and find the Med. Can you bring water? I'm brining the plop in the water coffe and filter all in one things. Somebody... BW??? Is bringing big coffee makers. I should be writing this stuff down!!! Oh, well!!!
Casey, don't cut us off until Sunday!!! My printer is not working and I need to be able to know who's bring what!!! THANKS!!
Mite go in and see what's happening under Clancy.... Is there anything else out there???? The wolves in northern MN??? Terry Valentine - 08:52pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7423 of 8458)

Maurren - congratulations! Glad for you you found it. The rest of us are looking for a 12 step program! giddyup - 08:52pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7424 of 8458)
Did anyone read "The Sum of All Fears" by clancy????? Brad B - 08:54pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7425 of 8458)
giddyup - ain't that the truth. Kids seem to have a sixth sense about this type of stuff. My 6-yr old was sitting by that tree 2 days ago and digging around with his boot. Congrats MH - tell me more about the "crack" in the Tree ... didn't see a reference to it in the clue explanations. greenslvs2 - 08:54pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7426 of 8458)
Maurren: Congrats!!! Come to the Bash on Sunday and give us tips, tell us what led you to that spot, tell us your story. Have you read about the first annual PPMCC Re-Hash Bash???
We'd enjoy having you! Medallion Master - 08:54pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7427 of 8458)

You could bring water in thermos jugs. Wish we could be there. Maybe will try stopping by early 11:30 but will just have to make a quick stop to meet and run. giddyup - 08:56pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7429 of 8458)
In "The Sum of All Fears", Clancy has middle east terrorists detonate a nuke during the super bowl. Guess who's in the game....you got it...the Vikings (they get nuked). LOL...LOL...quite ironic to me that he buys the team he nuked.... greenslvs2 - 08:56pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7430 of 8458)
Better than not showing at all, Terry. Please stop by!!! Terry Valentine - 08:57pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7431 of 8458)

Maybe he's feeling quilty???

Green I'm outta here for the night if you need anything you've got my voice mail # don't hesitate to call I also carry a cell so remember if there is somthing you don't have but need on Sunday leave a message. I return all calls immediatly. Also remember if I'm not at the park I'm at the grocery store. (good place to be for last minute items) greenslvs2 - 09:01pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7434 of 8458)
Oh, lord!!! Terry!!! I NEVER thought of that!!! I guess I should take notes/names of folks, antidotes, etc... so that I can post here. Great idea!!! Now, if I can *just* talk somebody into doing it..... greenslvs2 - 09:02pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7435 of 8458)
Thanks, BW. See you Sunday!!!! Terry Valentine - 09:03pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7436 of 8458)

Greenslvs2 - Better check the electric. Some of these parks turn off the power when not in use. The people at the city park permit office should know. If you live close, you could just run over and plug something in to see if it works. greenslvs2 - 09:05pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7437 of 8458)
Ian, you're a true Cooler Head - sick, sick, sick!!! Got your e-mail!!! So, I'm not the only one that is seeing things like "rosebud" "double" "division" "fore", etc, etc, everywhere they turn. At work, I'm trying to figure out the meaning in everything people say to me!!!! "Oh!!! Geee!!! Is that an anagram for such-and-such? What did he/she mean??? Is that some kind'a clue??" digger - 09:05pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7438 of 8458)
Amidst the sadness we all feel
The new formed friendships to us reveal
A truth that goes beyond all measure
Tis in the hunt itself is found the treasure.
All hail the victors who found the treasure and the Medallion! greenslvs2 - 09:07pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7439 of 8458)
Don't live close by. But... was it Dan? Said that somebody was brewing coffee there just the other nite. Assumed - know what that means... - the electric is going. Three different kinds of dog poop!! How do I go about finding out if we need a permit??? Glad you mentioned it, Terry. Terry Valentine - 09:07pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7440 of 8458)

Things I'd like to know about others. What part of the city they live in. Length of time hunting. How they got started hunting. Have they ever been close (on top of, all around or in the hand). If not St. Paulites, where from. Do they have any other obsessions. greenslvs2 - 09:08pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7441 of 8458)
Digger, that was so sweet; I'm crying. Please bring a copy of it on Sunday and read it. If you don't, I will. That was wonderful and so damn true. Wish I'd written it. greenslvs2 - 09:10pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7442 of 8458)
Terry!!! GREAT IDEA!!! Can you make up sheets w/those questions? We can pass them out and do a kind'a "break the ice" type thing!!!!! People can read them out loud to the rest of us!!!!
GREAT IDEA!!! Terry Valentine - 09:10pm Feb 4, 1998 CST (#7443 of 8458)

Shouldn't need a permit. Permits are for shelters during the REGULAR picnic season. More like a reservation. But the people in that office should know if electric is available. Probably someone else could run over - maybe easier in the long run.
