kitty? where did you go?
figure could just refer to a number - a number like "0" (circular thinking) In clue #1 - the word game - could that refer to animals?
Rice park seems to fit fairly well actually, but I can't believe its there.
I know - its just that in Rice there is that big chain link fence around the round fountain that they are restoring and I keep thinking of dueling = fencing. There is quite a bit of snow near the fence all the way around. I noticed a couple of poles that had numbers on it - one w/ a 4, the other 9, so would have to look in future to see if that fit, and Go through the cold - they already have ice blocks there for carving. Oh well - I think I will have to give up on that one. If you pick apart BOLD - you've got the old Bank site that is kinny-korner to Rice, O for Ordway, L for Landmark Center, but there is no D.
Well I'm getting pretty sleepy. I think I'll have to work on this more tomorrow.
made it through the messages! i'm so confused. thinking/linking makes a difference in MY thinking.
I need some zzzzzz's b4 work tomorrow too......Nite.
And goodnite 2u2
Last one up as usual. Nothin but Noodlin
It is clear to me about seeing "thinking" twice in the clue and the mention of "out of view" may have something to do with Double Vision?!?!?
Any one up??
Just me
hey clue master
'Thinking' was used a second time in the newspaper version and the PioneerPlanet.com\WinterCarnival site. 'Linking' was used on the TwinCities.com\WinterCarnival site. Who knows what's correct. I tend to believe the TC.com site because of verbiage but it is sponsored by PP, so who knows.
Sup DD?
What do you guys think about Newell?
I just thought I would ask, because me and 4 of my friends were just out there looking. We though that Duel could mean twice, referring to last year, as in twice in a row, and also, "Dig elsewhere and you'll find infinitum" could possibly mean that if you dont look there, you'll be lookin 4 ever. "Last year at Newell, our fate was most cruel, Unfortunately the game ended too soon, Come now...." My friend Dan was saying that it could mean that since it ended so soon last year, that they wanna continue it again, at the same place. Lemme know your thoughts.
There have been a few pointing that direction too because of your thoughts exactly but many others sound like Capitol Mall for various reasons.
Ieem atta ear. Check post 12321 for tonight's recap. SCD's to all and to all a good night. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I've been up for a long time and i'm finally starting to get somewhere. Heres is my present analysis. I am now leaning towards "Town Square Park". I'm sure you are thinking "Where is that?". It's a park in downtown at Minnesota and E 7th. It's a small 2 acre park. Here is how I think it fits the clues.
Clue 1: "...prepare to be bold..." How much bolder can you get when you pick a new park?
"...secret item..." I'm still convinced that it wont be a traditional medallion, possibly going back to the chest used in the 50's
"...place for gold..." Backing up my last comment that it will be made of gold
"...searcg infinitum..." Now, i'm still unsure as to whether or not this is a word! I looked it up, and all that came close was ad infinitum, which is Latin (for all you latin gurus) for without end or limit. It could be nothing, just telling us to look in the right place.
"...much tougher duel..." Not sure how that fits, could be nothing, but you can't get too much out of the first clue. Or can you?
"...toes...hunt until june..." That's something important! why not april or august? What major events happen in June? Maybe the park inquestion has something big happening in June? It could be the wedding reference, who knows.
Clue 2:
"...hunt in our wonderful town..." Hmmm... Town Square Park... connection possibly?
Clue 3:
"...Circular Thinking...way of thinking..." Town Square Park has a Carrousel!
"...lies out of view..." It is lying out of view... Meaning it's not just plopped in the snow! It's under a bench, brick, rock, etc.
"...bank account..." Well, the chamber of commerce is right across the street!
That is my little analysis of the clues at hand. If it is fact in Town Square Park, remember who called it first! ME! not you or cousin phil or mary-jo ME! Anyway, i'm a little tired and grumpy (can ya tell?) Let me know what you think at my sites message board. www.medallionhunt.8k.com
Good Morning!
Town Square is an interesting thought - I remember someone who thought it might be there a couple years back. I dunno, I just don't see it being put INDOORS.
Oh, and the carousel has been out of there for years.
As for the clue - "Linking" makes it flow SO much better, but the official PP site is still showing "Thinking" - bummer.
Not feeling too hot today, but can't really waste a sick day to stay home and rest. It may come to that later in the day though: bad cough, fever, chills, just NO FUN. I'm gonna need my rest if I'm to get out there and DIG in the next few days!
Town Square Park is kinda outta the question, good thought though, You do know that Wells Fargo has bought out all of the trade center, right? thats why all the stores and restaurants closed up, thats only in the trade center though, not town square. Town Square park is going to be closed soon too...infact, i think it already is, they keep blocking off the escalators in there, and the carousel you mentioned....it hasnt been there for a couple years man, it was moved. I dont know where to though....i did know, but i forgot, ill get back to ya with that info.
the carousel was moved to como park
Good Marning!
If you'd slogged you'd know Town Square was closed.
The headlines tomorrow will read:
"There is Hope for 'Totally Clueless And In The Dark One'."
This clue (#3) is saying there is a skating rink near but outta view o'The Med.
Mom, you better get better! We can't have you sick and missing The Hunt!!!! WWWWWAWAAAAAAAAA!
And my first Joe! o'the day!!!

Yes..the carousel has a nice new indoor location next to the Palm Lot at Como.
Good Morning!
There is still two versions of the clue up. One from the link at the top of this page and a different one from the link on the front page of the planet. I like the linking version better as it makes more sense.
I remember digging at Phalen one year with a linking clue. We were near a fence at the time with those chain links.
The guide has school tonight, he may not be around until after 9.
I am teaching tonight so won't be here until after the McGovern's thing. I can't imagine how much slogging there will be to do.
Yo!
Green, I'll catch up with ya at the workplace.
But first, I gotta put makeup on my face!
Hiya Ter, and all Coolerphiles!
Mom, please feel better!!! Fast!
P.S. Ter, when I got here this morn, there were over 1200 posts! I can't possibly slog them all, unless of course . . . . . I get sick at work!
Later!
Just a note on the linking/thinking debate. The paper I picked up last night was the Minnesota edition. My metro edition at the office this morning still has thinking twice. If it is a typo, it wasn't caught between editions.
Hello Everyone:
My 2 cents, I think the clues point to the savory coin to be in a hockey puck, and possibly at Newell again with the 2 ice rinks (link = rink) As for the bank account line, no idea. But it looks like many are still swaying back and forth between parks, does anyone have a top 3-5 list? As for me I am off to Newell to try and place it all together. Anyone with insight on the banking line?
Hello all- Has anyone thought about Palace?

morning folks. i have got to stop staying up to catch the clue. i literally had to scrape myself out of bed this morning. find something circular, or perhaps a street xxxxxx circle (don't know if there are any beyond holcombe), you're in the right park, and the treasure is just out of view of it. i'm probably sounding way too incoherent. i'm not fully awake yet.

Princess Yoda,
Call me when you get a chance.
Well for what's it worth I just called the local office for TwinCities.com to see what was up...just caught the guy walking in the door and he hadn't heard about the linking/thinking thing...said he would take a look at it...even though it rhymes better than thinking twice, it seems like the PP should be the correct version? Oh, by the way, I haven't seen the # you can call to get the update on whether or not it's been found yet, does anyone have it?
Twincities.com now hays the double thinking...so I'm thinking it's thinking!
Maybe it is all part of the plan...
Clue 3 is referring to a slide, right?
A slide? How?
anyone here?
Leah lots of people here. But I still thinking about linking the thinking thinking linking clues???
Estaban, you still here????

i'm still here. dazed and confused, but here.
Just a thought- circular thinking one way of thinking- round rink(there a two rinks) -"View"- cross street at Palace.
Hiya, Frostbite!
Guide... I FORGOT to get two books!!!!! (smacking self in forehead) Will you be at The Conservatory and/or McGovern's tonite????
Well, I *had* it when it was the old way: thinking/linking; but THIS makes no sense to me: thinking/thinking...
Tho, duel/dual/twice does come to mind...
I had the #3 all "aced" as circular linking = an 8... And then you go down to "figure" and you've a figure 8! Skating!
See? They did it again! I get The Clue right, and they change it! Just like when they moved it from Phalen last year 'cuz I was the only one there...
Hi,
I don't want to change the subject of circle thinking, but circular advertising comes to mind.
hav'nt seen anything in the clues about a st. paul park is where you must go.st. paul is the place, ma bey not a park this year.
what are your thoughts on where it could be steve
Hay, Maureen! Gonna be at The Conservatory and/or McGovern's tonite? Hope you and Steve will Bee!
Hi Green,
I can't, I have plans with my kids. Hope to see ya at the dig.
If anyone wants to join the chat at my site to talk realtime, come to www.medallionhunt.8k.com I also have past clues and hiding places at my site in the "Clue Central" section of the site. The chatroom DOES NOT req. registration
Is it "circular thinking can be one way of THINKING or LINKING"?
THINKING
Jakey... Double thinking. No linking.
I'm curious about the idea of the object of our quest not being the traditional medallion. Notice PP calls this the 50th TREASURE hunt rather than a MEDALLION hunt. And the first clue's reference to "the place for gold" makes me think of a treasure chest, not a blue puck. Whadda ya think?
Has it always been called a "treasure" hunt? I can't remember.
The rules say medallion, but I strongly suspect that it is inside of a treasure chest.
The medallion is inside of a treasure chest.
SueBee,
I think it will be in a treasure bank too.
where is a good "place for gold?" - a mint? a bank (another bank referene)?
a good place to find gold is at the end of a rainbow- which is painted on the building at Palace along with a painting of the Ice castle.
Has anyone ever seen it?
Palace and what? I like that!
Is there a park or street with Rainbow in the name. Circular is meaningful too, obviously
Ok, I don't think I'll slog, so if I'm repeating SORRY...BANK ACCOUNT..how about just near a banking facility...or a steet with a banking term like name...OUT OF VEIW...could just mean way deep in the snow...
Palace is surrounded by Bay st., Jefferson Ave, Palace and View- which is also stated in clue #3.
Last year, in the beginning I got all excited about View St...Palace also has a horseshoe pit..
A palace could be a place for gold too, Leah. I like your thinking so far. Looks like a tiny park though.
What does the playground equipment look like at palace.
I just don't think that they would out and out give the street name this early...
It is modern..yellow and red? Great place for the kids...
they've done it before. A few years ago they gave the park away in clue #4. Also, when it was in Hidden Falls a few years back they gave a street name in clue 2 or 3
Palace has alot more grounds than Conway- it's pretty big and open- they have a large new playground that was redone about 5 years ago. Also as I mentioned before there is a mural on the north wall of the building that a girl scout troop painted that has a rainbow and the Carnival Ice Castle.
Hey SueBee, do you think people might get us mixed up? Anyhow, my thought on that is that Palace really isn't a huge park like Como, but who knows...
Yeah but Newell and Conway aren't huge parks either SueButt
I just meant on out and out giving the street names this early
I was thinking about Palace last night when I was looking at Linwood.
how bout ft snelling...gold kept in forts, forts can be considered a palace, duels or battles are done at forts..any thoughts
I was thinking about Palace last night when I was looking at Linwood.
what made you think Linwood Lonehunter
how bout ft snelling...gold kept in forts, forts can be considered a palace, duels or battles are done at forts..any thoughts
Stubborness. I always think, "hmmmmm how about Linwood this year?" And then I go and wander around there and try to make it fit. One year it will! :-)
I agree Lonehunter I always think Linwood or Palace- and you know I've been thinking the same places for the last 20 years - you'd think they would hide it there sometime
Hello....
I am stuck at home. Was all ready to go into work hacking and coughing, but then it turned out that Emily was sick too. And she had my fever beat by almost a whole degree.
Had some good rest, and feeling some better. Might get Dad home this PM so I can at least earn half a day's pay.
I've got a couple thoughts, but they're pretty far fetched and I still need to check 'em out on the maps. BBIAW.
SueButt, you mention horseshoe pits, could the horseshoe pits go along with the GOOD LUCK that was spelled out in the first clue. Horseshoes can mean good luck. You might be on to something there.
Hello All!
Hola
Does Radisson still have that revolving restaurant downtown?
I wouldn't rule it out, and I think that on Jefferson there is some sort of ViKING (thinKING) place, but I can't remember...KINGs live in palaces...Giving the street this early in a smaller park is throwing me...
OK well i gotta get back to work think i'll get off early and traipse around town. e&h's mom - it's just as well you're home everyone here at my work is starting to get sick. Feel better!!
think so
Does anyone know of a Thin King?
King Tutt's pretty thin about now!LOL!
Sorry Sue.....couldn't resist.....
I'd even say down right emacipated!
Hello All! In reference to Annette B 12326...What about the Gold Medal Flour view. The light did not work for some twenty years and this year they repaired it, was a big article in PP recently.
I think the clue writer is a garage logitian.........listens to Souchi on KSTP.He also write's for the PP.GOOD LUCK!
Anyone think it might be in Gumption County?:)
st. paul is the place#1,hunt in our wonderful town#2. no mention of parks. two years ago I talked to the guy that found the medallion under the linwood st. bridge back in the 60s.they have used a treasure chest before.
Scribe, lets just hope it's not in one of Joes old stoggies
Where are Allison,Dave,Winger and THX?
I can't believe none of you posted the definition of circular thinking!:)
You're gettin lazy boys.........:)
Sue,maybe we should equate circular thinking=euphorian thinking!
Round and round we go......
Sorry Scribe--I turned it into squared, what with the thinking twice and all. As for Carousel restaraunt in Radisson--it is still operating.
Don't forget the linking...Well, I have to go know, but I'll be back later.
Dave what's all this about a misprint in the clue?
I bought the paper this morning......is it right????
Later Sue!:)
Oh, there was a bit of an upset last night, 'cuz Twin Cities.com had the clue on as Circular thinking may be one way of linking, but the PP had it as thinking twice--so some folks were wondering which one was official--I am going with paper.
Hello I am new here this is a really nice site I was just thinking about all the clues. I was thinking dock logo= hockey and the last clue spelled city= hockey city new to St Paul I was also thinking of the gold as in the salvation army pot at kellog park. Just a couple of ideas.
scribe, not all of us here don't get any sleep :). allison is, i'm sure, in his coffin right now (there's that vampire thing again. bad jason. bad. bad.) i imagine dave and winger are sleeping too. i'll let you figure out where thx is.
I'm with you Dave! I'm bettin on Mom!
So the clue is:
Circular thinking can be one way of thinking.
I think digger1 is on to something. He didn't mention the 2 circular guard towers at the entrance at Fort Selling. I am going to check it out tonight to see if bigger is accurate!
Just for you Scribe
Circular Thinking
Circular thinking is a quite distinct way of thinking and works according to the principle that "things develop on their own". The basic goal of circular thinking is not to pursue one's own goals, but to lead a fulfilled life, which entails conforming as much as possible to nature and it's laws. In circular thinking, intuition, an instinct and feeling for interactions and interrelationships, has a higher value than precise knowledge. Material things are just the transient embodiment of an universal world spirit. This is an orientation that has recently been promulgated in the West, and not only by those interested in energo-cybernetics, but also by leading physicists, chemists and biologists. However, they refer to this invisible, creative force not as a universal spirit, but as energy.
At first sight, the behavior of plants seems to contradict this circular thinking. Early in the year, in summer, autumn and winter, they passively accept nutritional shortages or excesses. They appear to resign themselves automatically to internal and external circumstances. However, this appearance is deceptive. In reality, their behavior is focused clearly on "bottlenecks" and minimum factors; they concentrate their energies on the point most cybernetically effective point for their development. For example, they attempt to overcome shortages of a specific mineral through increased root formation, or a lack of sunlight by leaning twigs in that direction. Plants, therefore, strive to cope optimally with autonomous external forces through maximum-impact use of their internal capabilities.
Through linear thinking, too much is changed too autonomously. Circular thinking, on the other hand, changes too little. Linear behavior leads to an "explosion" to all sides and to a loss of natural growth. Circular thinking tends to result in an unproductive movement within a closed circle. The behavior of plants shows the way to a better mode of thinking and acting. Their own forces are concentrated on the most effective point within a natural development, thus accelerating a natural process. This has the effect of linking optimally, one's own forces with those which are already intrinsic to natural developments (evolutionary forces)
Hey Ares! Well I know where THX is......at least I think I do!
Ares,do you want my lecture on stayin up late on these early clues?
You think your draggin now just wait till friday!
So in effect, DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO THE CLUES!!!!
Whoa George Lucas' first film guy--you just earned yourself a bookmark.
O geez! Circular thinking IS Euphorian!
I'm gonna have a hard time with this..........
Thanks King Darth!:)
i've been known to make mistakes before. thx thx for the circular thinking explanation. it all makes sense to me now about that line. mom wrote that clue just for us. let things roll out on their own.
Circular Thinking
An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are shown a pasture with a herd of sheep, and told to put them inside the smallest possible amount of fence.
The engineer is first. He herds the sheep into a circle and then puts the fence around them, declaring, "A circle will use the least fence for a given area, so this is the best solution."
The physicist is next. She creates a circular fence of infinite radius around the sheep, and then draws the fence tight around the herd, declaring, "This will give the smallest circular fence around the herd."
The mathematician is last. After giving the problem a little thought, he puts a small fence around himself and then declares, "I define myself to be on the outside!"
Dave ,only a certain breed of people would know that...........your scaring me:)
LOL Very good thx
THX, So what your saying is that the math guy is thinking circular,right?
I believe we discussed circular thinking in great detail in philosophy.
Hey Jakey!
Thanks jake,
Back to work I go. Have fun all!
Later Gator!!:)
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
Yep, lunchtime is over--see y'all closer to clue time.
Hey! you didn't tell me if the math guy was right!!!
Circular thinking tends to result in an unproductive movement within a closed circle.
Especially in this hunt. The question is do I dig today or not....
Somebody talk to me like I'm five,here!
I hate philosophy,I hate philosophy!
An anagram for thinking is "hint king" obviously referring to Boreas, but the circular must be referring to the towers or the large airport satellite dishes in plain view from the golf course.
HELLLLLOOOOOO! Jakey! Help me out here!
I am new herw is there somewhere to learn more about what the cooler crew is all about it looks like alot of fun?
Phalen- Wheelock parkway (wheels, circular) round lake (round, circular)
Welcome lel!
circular thinking = crucial night rink
thanks for the laugh thx. consider me to be the mathematician.
Okay fine let me know just say I'm thouroughly cofused!
Jake,explain this philisophical circular thinking to me,bottom line it,IN ENGLISH PLEEEAAASE!
Figures you'd think that was funny Ares!
Thanks scribe I have been trying to post on here for awhile I couldnt figure it out lol but now I know how and want to join the action
I don't think that line has any philisophical meaning. It just says "think of circles, like a wheel and a lake called "round lake". It is the only thing that makes any sense.
This your first hunt lel?
So do I think it is in Phalen? It is quite possible, but it is still very early on. But I am not going to do any good sitting on my keester all day neither.
Okay I feel better now Jake! My head was starting to throb there..........
Yeah they can't get to complicated on these clues......people like me like to hunt tooooooooooo!
What do you think about Kellogg Jakey? To obvious for the third clue?
lel--try http://www.coolercrew.com/
So I may go dig for a little while.
Dave! I thought lunch was over!:)
what, scribe, just because i had a math minor?
Not me Jake,I think it's still to early,I'm gettin old and need to save my energy.Besides I've done my share diggin up wrong parks the last ten years!GOOD LUCK my friend!
What the heck kind of person minors in math????
Hey Diggers,
Any thoughts on the 'bank account won't be shrinking' line.
Any banks close to the parks? See a bank from the park? (Fist National, Downtown Saint Paul) Hidden in a snowbank? (Melting = Shrinking) Hidden in a checkbook?
What do you guys think.
More to calm myself down then to actually find it..... I get uneasy sitting here when the puck is out there. I don't know what I am going to do yet....
I'll be scouting for sure........but digging no,not yet!
You be at McGovern's tonight Jake?
Anyways, I am off to pick up some lunch. Bye!
See ya Jakey!
No scribe I have been hunting a long long time and frusturated as usual lol
someone who had the last spot in the registration queue his freshman year, and took an upper-division class (i had the lower division calc done in high school) because he knew there'd be an opening. after that, the math minor was only 8 more credits away.
believe it or not, some people actually major in math. i know a few of them myself. interesting people.
Lel,me too,but I can never resist the fun!
I gotta go make lunch for the kids and get them off to school.........TTFN!
Has anybody thought that circular thinking, could possibly refer to a newspaper or a news vending machine or even the PP itself?
Ok, I'm awake. Wasn't feeling well today, plus had some stuff to get done around here, so I stayed home from work (there was nothing going on there anyway).
Here's my thinking-linking theory:
There are two sets of clues. One goes to Twin Cities.com to get posted and one stays at PP to get typeset. They are both the same. TwinCites.com posted what they had. The typesetter at PP made a typo and put in thinking twice. The person at Pionerplanet does not have their own set of clues, they are simply directed to type in what appears in the paper since they have at least an hour between when the paper comes out and when it has to appear online. So they end up repeating the mistake. Then someone calls TwinCities.com today and asks about the difference, and the person there assumes the paper must be right so they change theirs too. And yet, all the while linking is the correct word. So I'm going to still consider the clue to say linking. After the places/planes typo two years ago, I'm not assuming infallability.
Allison - Morning to you. - Eclipse - I like your take on circular. New to me but I haven't slogged that much yet. Post 12321 has info from last night for those not wanting to repeat anything
BRAVO
I thought some where near PP (private ground) but i'm still not sold
golf courses statues on toes ad infinitum st. paul thinking or linking? are we supposed to figure out which clue is right? haha
its a foot away from a statue in a snow bank in a st.paul park that is near a golf course with a dead end.
where can you find a listing of all the st. paul parks?
Hello Everyone:
As usual I am behind, ClueMaster, I took a look at 12321, Thanks. Just a thought perhaps the sacred medallion is in a hockey puck for the MN Wild. (Circular thinking) and I think that is all this clue has to offer us. Anyone with thoughts on the park, I am still going to case Newell again. A renovated library, 2 skating rinks, the ball parks, maybe something lies hidden here. Is there any closure on the think or link issue?
Icecream ...try my book. All the parks..the one and only detailed map book of St. Paul's parks.
http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/parks/?loc=/depts/parks/userguide/index.html
His book is excellent.
Thanks THF!
TheTreasureHunter'sGuide - Is that you Steve?
Do you still have all the photos on the website?
Treasure.. ive heard about it.. where can i get one?
I second that. It saved me a lot of useless driving around.
I agree I think linking was the intended word
Circular thinking.....
could this mean one of the other clues is misleading?
or do we need to solve an anagram using words from the edges of the clues such as circular, one, if, clue
or is it a circular object by the park like a water tower or fire ring
What do you think
Icecream...Ruminator Books has 'em 699-0587. Or the Map Store..227-6277. $14.
Has anybody noticed that the bolded letters spell City (if rearranged)? in clue 3
"I second that. It saved me a lot of useless driving around."
--- I think his book has actually caused me MORE useless driving around. Our little group has alot of fun looking through the book and trying to make clues fit. Then we go check out places we never would have known about otherwise.
Snoball, yes. I'm on a quick lunch break.
TFG....don't start driving around until thursday. Thats when I start.
I am still stuck on Good Luck FatG City
FatG could obviously be something else - or could take more that just the first letters of the lines of the second clue.
I am also going with Allison with regards to linking. I think it is linking. The clue does not make sense otherwise.
Well that's true, but I tend to think of it as reconnaissance.
I'm hoping they will get it straightened out when Clue 4 comes out.
I work at a Bank now, so I hope that the 3rd clue is an indication that the treasure is outside by my car.
Hi guide, thanks your book is great.
I was out diggen again the morning only saw one other digger and that was at Phalen. Most of the other parks are virgin
I was thinking if they hide the med within the past month there should be footprints. what do you think of looking by suspecious footprints
Just a note for everyone from a question asked earlier, the clues can be clipped from the paper, handwritten, or printed off the web and still count as submitting the clues with the medallion for the $2500 it is stated on the rules page
steve's guide is the greatest thing for us hunters since. well, the hunt.
Derek - You still up? Do they have an updated version of the book? I have a 1996 copy.-
Ice - Hudson's TC St. Atlas is good too as far as street names and park locales etc. -
care to share with us which bank that is, guide :)
clue master, my copy is the second edition printed in 1999.
Cluemaster I push enter twice
Will someone please explain the problem with the clue in the paper -vs- the one posted online. I'm confused and don't have time to go through all the posts.
Thanks!
:-)
the TC.com website had the last word of the first line of clue three as "linking" the PP, and the paper had it as "thinking" there are clear repricussions associated with each.
New Daddy..Ian...etal..I suggest taking a video camera with on these recon missions. Video some parks to get an idea if someone's walked around a few weeks ago. If its the correct park, at least you'll know where the virgin snow truely was.
Later all...back to the office.
Thanks Ares - my book has 38 (unnumbered)pages. Does yours have more? (paid $8.00 too)
Cluemaster I push enter twice
hmm,
Apparently later on some hunters called tc.com and asked them about it, and they changed theirs' to "thinking" as well, but no one knows for sure which one it should be, kinda like the whole is it "infinitum" or "ad infinitum"
cm, mine's got numbers through 74, and a few unnumbered nes after that, the bookstore formerly known as the hungry mind may have more.mine was 14 bucks before the last hunt.
Thanks guide thats a great idea!! I also have great video of green diggin at conway
Have fun at McGovern's tonight everyone. I have to teach, so I probably won't get there.
There are lots of clues that point to Como but I think we would know for sure by now because the park is so big.
I like the idea of capitol mall or somewhere downtown, but am leaning toward a Rec Center - maybe Linwood or Palace.
Thanks Daddy - I figured it out when I viewed my actual post. I then edited it afterwards hoping you didn't see the post yet. Boy do I feel stupid. You still have CC buttons?
I'm gonna go digginh this aft also, so i will video several parks. I hope to see some of ya out there. I still wear a white diaper when diggin, and I have a nice new yellow shovel
I have CC buttons from the first two years but not last year...
You sellin D? $? Any 2001 buttons?
Alright, I'm going to go for a bit and get some stuff done. Then I'm heading out to the Conservatory later. I'm thinking its at a rec center, one they have not used before. I may check a few out today.
Thanks for the info on the new version Ares. I guess you get what you pay for.
Does anyone else think Palace?
Where is Palace? Just got done slogging through and many have mentioned Palace... I have never heard of it...?
I think all sorts of things Leah! It is only clue three everyone clear your minds think circular and breathe with me.
Breathe in......
It's on the west end on Jefferson and Palace- By Spanky's- Monroe School- down the hill from Linwood
It's not at Linwood.........
I've dug up that place a few times.........:)
New Daddy you still here?
Thanks Leah!
Long before The Corrs began to make their blend of celtic fusion music, Dublin rockers Thin Lizzy were gaining a following with their rock/Irish combination. They were amongst those to play The King's Hall in the 1980s, before the untimely death of lead singer Phil Lynnott....Talk about a tangent for a ThinKing. Thought you might find amusing!
Just looked up Palace in my handy dandy treasure guide(signed by the man himself)......
Palace looks like a possibility,Leah!
Hey scribe go back to post 12406 and see what I had to say
Holy $$$$##@@! Sue! That is some linking!LOLOLOL!
What do you think of Palace?
Yep still here, still thinking circularly...as always vering off tangentally,
Isn't there an ice arena around there? I know they have an outdoor hockey rink.
Leah,there are also hoseshoe pits there,View Street and Jefferson........which I think had something to do with that Hamilton and Burr duel......
Sounds plausible to me.........
Do they have any pirates or ballerinas?:)
New Daddy,you the one I was chatting with at McGovern's on sat.? Or are you another Dad?
Too many dad's and Dave's........SHEEEEEEEEESH!:)
I bet you can see the First Bank 1 from there...
From Palace? Let me think......I think your right Sue!
Scribe nope not me I wasn't able to make the bash but it sounded like a lot of fun
How does deploy relate to Palace
