COUGAR, I HEARD THE WHITE HOUSE HAS AN EASTER EGG HUNT, MABYE THEY HAVE THE MEDALLION, ALSO
Is it true? Was it really found?
Regg--
unless you have the medallion in your hands, you don't know where the hell the thing is either. So lay off, nobody's impressed by your sophomoric comments.
Hey Johnny...unless you want to go search with Cougar...I would suggest joining in our fun
Fairgrounds eh? Sounds pretty promising...maybe I will run into you there tonight...its on the top of my "sure as sh!t you won't see me there" list
I'm leaving for the fairgrounds right now...see you there
There's a bigger chance that I have it then there is being at the Fair!
alright, so you don't agree you don't have to be an ass about it.
JB - Call me with your new E-ad. I have a picture I sent out and yours was returned.
WHERE IS THERE A GOOD WEB SITE TO GET PARK MAPS
Hey DiggDugg...I like what you have to say...I'll look for you out in the hunt...I will just look for the guy with a shovel up his a$$...I'm sure it will be you
Has anyone checked the grandstand?
EVERYBODY PRESENT:
Do not try to bring any new idea to this board that may not have already been mentioned. You WILL be ridiculed, as has been shown in the recent history on me. Any creativity WILL be immediately crushed. Instead, say only that, "Yes, I also think the medallion is at Highland Park/Hidden Falls." I would lean toward Como anyday over those choices.
Just messin wif yo, it hasn't been found yet... OR THAT I KNOW OF, I accually think a good idea so ppl wont find it, and hold onto the med. for people to continue to search is if you find it in the first few clues, you git more money then if you find it towards the end, cuz somone might have already found it, and doesn't turn it in.
Is it guy time at the cooler now? Any women have any good ideas?
there, there, little one... everyone is very impressed by your bulls--- macho posturing. we all validate and accept your superiority.
You are redeemed. Now get back to the hunt.
THE FAIRGROUNDS ISINT CREATIVITY, IT IS PURE STUPIDITY!
Hey REGG: hope we run into you out there...just look for the beam...its the brightest light you've ever seen..."just come to the light!"
you going out tonight? we will probably be a HF
http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/parks/?loc=/depts/parks/userguide/index.html
where is a good web site to get park maps? does anyone know of one?
thank you IAN
HF Closes at 10!
DH - That's why I believe in spotters
glad to help, Donna
The FAIRGROUNDS was meant to clear eveybody's mind off what they were currently thinking. That leads to new ideas for more potent choices. Throwing out a ridiculous answer every once and a while is the main rule to brainstorming. Doesn't anybody get that?
REGG: they have short fences
EVERYONE IGNORE COUGAR!
You can get fined up the wazoo if you go after 10, though!
http://www.anagramfun.com/cgi-bin/anagrams.cgi
REGG: we got running shoes
http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/parks/?loc=/depts/parks/recprograms/recreationcenters.html
hello everyone...this is my 3rd year here and am wondering does anyone remember "cartman"
Donna you can buy the St Paul Parks: a treasure hunters guide by steve worthman
MP - Vaguely
I remember Cartman. Do you remember Cougar? Conway "Cougars" was also my first year.
Jordenn, I am here!!! Did I pass the test?
I can tell you how to conact steve if you want, it will be the best 10 bucks you ever spent
Rangers have cars too, and other rangers
cartman lived by conway and we discussed those clues til the wee hours
Jake - careful with the $10.00 thing. Treasure.. sold it to us for that. Wasn't sure if everybody got it for that price. I thought retail was $15. Not sure though. Maybe just in the stores
I got my Treasure Hunters Guide for $14
If you live close to Conway, you are also close to Eastview. What do you think about that place?
Donna, if it set you back $50, it would be worth it. I'm not even making commission on it either. I think that's why MA press is so irritated this year because those who have that book know a lot more than we used to.
Is elsea in here?
cougar, i live near battle creek and mounds park..and they impress me more...
Haven't heard from Elsea today!
You're right TT about the helpfulness of the book, but the conscious is that PP takes that into account. Many things they end up referring to aren't in the book at all.
Hi Crooks! You get a C for efforts, I get the rest of the grade! Hee hee.... Glad to see you are on now! ARe you learning your way around?
Jordenn, I am here, where are you?
Oh man shes my girl! we were spose to get all pimped out and distract the hunters LOL
Jordenn, I am trying to learn it at hyperspeed!!! :)
When are you guys goin to arrive at HF?
IF I go to HF I will need a body Gaurd it's SpoOoOoooOKY down there! Any Volenteers? lol
Regg - When the clue says it's in a diaper :)
It is just in the stores
OK, amidst all the posturing and bickering, maybe a new line of noodling is in order:
Let's think of the things that haven't been (at least overtly) mentioned in the clues yet. 1. The Airport 2. Water 3. A specific mention of a park (verus a non-park location) 4. Skyline views Anything else??
J - they filming today?
Ok I volenteer Jake to be my body Guard=)
Even if it were 20 it would be the best money you could spend
ED - Why wouldn't 'open space' refer to air traffic? Just an idea.
Don't you guys think it would be better to wait for the clue and head out tomorrow because of the 10:00 closing + we're not 100% sure that it's at HF?
Crooks, you will catch on just fine... just surf around to learn what everything does.
Ill be your body guard any time crazyfortreasure50!!!
JORDENN! how are you today? Im ready to be thrown in a padded cell how bout you=) lol
Are there any lights at all down there at hidden f?
Ill be your body guard any time crazyfortreasure50!!!
JAke- *blushes* even if I have no clue where this thing is LOL
Where R they filming 2-night?
How I see things for Eastview:
Circular thinking: merry-go-round East and West: East, along with View from previous clue Man of Steel: Harding High School Knights
How do you apply the clues to Battle Creek and Mounds? (Battle Creek would be excellent for me, being in the Highwod Hills Neighborhood)
I went to Harding High School
DH - PP @ 11 then depends on clue
at the pp thats all i know
Me too, class of 1997
Cougar who did you hang out with I was class of 96
Crazy.... yes this is nuts! So many possibilities!!! But what can you do???? So, I hear the party is at your house tonight? LOLOLOL!
CM--
True with the open-space thing. I guess that's why I preface it with the overt reference heading. I just think anyone interested in noodling needed a turn back in a less counter-productive direction. Airport/open space...I'd ponder that noodle.
Trent Jackie Bud and Phil (the film people) are really cool! I am having the time of my life!
Harrison Fried, Chris Burrell, Matt Thell, etc
LOL Jordenn were did ya hear that>?
Cougar did ya play any sports or anything. Im trying to figure out who you are
well mounds you can see everything.. airport rails..playground area, not sure about merry-go-round...but going in there is a circle itself
Kool, can't wait -2- find out where their filming 2-night......
It seems like everyone is experiencing the beginning of an anxiety induced psychosis!!!
On here... posts said we could ALLLLLLLLLL come over for hot coco..... LOLOL
You guys can pick part of a clue and I will tell you how that fits HF! (Perferrably not the 1st clue, ok)
MP: In Mounds, I would apply circular thinking as the beacon, but the rest I feel is a stretch...
Jake...
Where do these people (the film crew) go during the day, and what have they done with green? I am about to file a missing persons report on her? How much digging in snow can you possibly get on film?
and battle creek..has been hashed over and everyone agrees that everything fits....mounds also has a bike path
Jordenn- Sure I got a hot tub and stuff. You can be in charge of the beer LOL. My parents wouldnt mind. they would prolly join right in the fun since they are Treasure freaks too lol
joe
50: Didn't play any sports, but was in Marching Band
Hey FUMDUCK! Are you out there?
Damn u Downtown Dave, their DUMPLINGs now :) lol, I hope they film at Phalen!
Cougar whats your first name?
You guys can pick part of a clue and I will tell you how that fits HF! (Perferrably not the 1st clue, ok)
Well I would be willing to bet they already have 25 hours of film
yeah, and what sign are you?
My initials are CJH, I am at the UofM now studying chemical Engineering, and played the saxophone. Name that person!!
Duane--hahahah :) Good one.
oh my god cougar thats as bad as trying to figure out where the treasure is. whats your first name
Crazy, are you going hunting tonight? Me and Pryzmsphere are prolly goin out tonight.
You guys can pick part of a clue and I will tell you how that fits HF! (Perferrably not the 1st clue, ok)
Yeah I dont know where though. Me and my moms will prolly drive around I always tell her to go to where the most people are LOL
Just kidding: CORY, what about you?
regg-I'll bite. how about the\man of mettle deal? HF would be convenient albeit scary.
MY name is Melissa. Cory Im going ot get my year book LOL
DO NOT POST MY LAST NAME. I may have enemies spying on me here.
LOL Cougar im not that stupid!
is your name Adam? Cougar
cougar, are you familiar with the bike and walking path that leads from upper afton to 61...in the summer it is like a beautiful valley..it goes down and you look up at the cliffs
What activities did you partake in??
Yeah, it's been a long time slogging through 18,000 posts just to see if my arch-enemy, Cory posts on this board. Please...
Regg- yeah, what about the "man of steel" line
What H.S. are you two talking about
I swam played hockey and softball
Yea, the Battle Creek Caves.
Mettle is the quality of a character! Mr. Ford, was very important to the auto industry! Plus, if you change mettle to metal, you also get Mr. Ford, (his company makes cars from metal, duh) and the Ford plant borders HF!
So jake? will you still be my body Guard even if I dont find the treasure?
Wuts the chances of them filming at Phalen Tonight?
Can you see the ford plant standing IN HF is my question
By the caves, wasn't there an accident once? Do you think it is right by the caves, or along the path by the freeway, or within the valley toward Upper Afton?
soooo what are your thoughts on eastview...it isnt that big
The accident that was by battle creek was of my buddies lil brothers =*(
Dogg...
No you can't, but I think you're on the right track. HF is very much down in a valley-- at least most of the zones are.
Of course crazyfortreasure50!!!
what battle was fought there
Oh jake now thats what I call Unconditional love HAHAHAHHA=)
That line has me baffled because of the unusual words chosen....
Look for his name AROUND OUR DEAL...
I just don't get it.
I don't know. I was doing fine until Clue #6. There is a big open area by the four baseball diamonds, taking care of the large area and the "off base", the only problem is I cannot figure out how to relate all the riding and steering meanings.
Any other clues you want me to explain?
Are the ball diamonds way down by the southern entrance? Do you think of base this way, or as in the fort...or different yet?
my co-worker was digging at the Capitol last night and she found the head of a papermache' horse. She for sure she found the med. because it was made out of newspaper so she thought it was in "boxed inside the word." she's convinced more than ever now it's at the Capitol.
so there is a ford plant by HF but isn't there also a Ford Parkway by Highland? Why couldn't it be referring to that?
The base is fort snelling!
I took mettle to mean metal (via superman) and called a man of much metal to be a Knight. I do not think there needs to be a battle
stepdogg..remember the year it was at harriet and it was right by the picture of that woman...cant remember her name...i feel thats what they mean..that the prize is nearby
Whoa Angelic. The head of a paper mache horse. That just raises other questions. Note to self--if you find the head of a paper mache animal, look inside.
It could, dogg, but there are so many other clues that lead to HF. Well, there are also a lot of clues leading to Highland.
Hey Regg... sometimes when you play poker it's a good idea not to let all the other players know what you have in your hand. If you catch my drift.
Did that papier mache horse head have earmuffs too?
This year these clues are really something.
Regg - that's why I'm kind of playing devil's advocate....I don't want to get sucked into one park because i think the clues are very vague.
Hopefully tonight's will shed some light on SOME PARK!!!
as opposed to wrapped around something
I like fort snelling too! How well can fort snelling be seen from the part of HF near the plant. I've always spent my visits at the other end.
Hey duane, I am also throwing in paradox statements. When playing poker, you may want to lead people estray, so they bet on something they think they have, but really you do, get the drift!
AM I THE MOLE?
Regg - I think you are!! :)
Touche', Regg
I think ya are too LOL Ive been saying that all day=)
How do you like my new name!
I think it's at COMO, but every year it points to como till the last clues.
TERRY VALENTINE>> No earmuffs, just a ski cap. Seriously, she brought it in to work to show me and she had ripped it apart looking for the med. I think someone just put it there for a gag.
LOL I LOVE IT!
Is that Rudy from Survivor on the Mole? I've only seen two promos and I swear I caught o glimpse of him.
For God's sake, man... If you're the Mole, get that thing checked out. Especially if it changes size or shape. Watch out if it has hair growing out of it too.
There is some old guy on the mole!
reggman, why did you change your name?
Kool, I got a DUMPLING my last post (60)
Mary Poppins:
Battle Creek Caves:
Circular thinking: Cave openings
East and West: Direction of Valley
Man of Metal: JJ Hill's Railroad
Riding/Steer: Either US 61 or bikepath
Is this what you were thinking?
It aint Rudy, though!
It isn't at rice park.
Hey dumpling head, you get the name of the day award in here!
I'm glad its not Rudy. I don't think I could take it if he were around again...Maybe it is worse they have someone that even looks like him.
Hey, I didn't change my name! Some stupid idiot tried to imitate me!
I love it!
I look like rudy *sad face* lol
Hi,
Steve says you gotta DIG IT!
Charlie is the name of the older gentleman on The Mole! Any of you watch? I love that show! It is the only show that I watch every week.
Hi gang! Donut Man, are you out there? I think the medallion itself is hidden inside a flattened Dove soap bar box.... what do you think of that? It says boxed inside the word... obviously the peaceful bird is a dove.... ?? :-)
Remember when the last 3 people in survivor had to hold onto that pole as long as possible and rudy just let go for no reason?
oAhhh, Rudy's not ugly, crazy...
Jordenn! there you are! I thought you left. Yeah I watch that show
OK the only thing anyone can know for sure it what the damn thing is in. these clues can still fit any park you want them to fit.
Circular thinking can mean anything. A person of mettle can be anyone. East and west can be anywhere. lots of space can be anywhere. Riding around can be done on anything done anywhere.
Whooooweeeeee!! These clues are so descriptive this year!!!
Hi gang! Donut Man, are you out there? I think the medallion itself is hidden inside a flattened Dove soap bar box.... what do you think of that? It says boxed inside the word... obviously the peaceful bird is a dove.... ?? :-)
LOL I look like a movie star not like Rudy LOL j/k a girl can dream right?
I agree with you Stepp... I'm not diggin until it narrows in a bit more.... does anyone know if the State Fairgrounds can be a valid hiding place anymore? It was there years ago. ?? :P
I love watching the mole, and I thought the mole was Wendi, but she got executed, so now I think that it is Charlie or Jennifer
No, I didn't leave. Got booted a couple of times, but I am still here! Didja miss me? :) lol
I missed that one. They're doing a "where are they now"dimension on the survivor gang after the super bowl. They should do one on all the hunters in July...
Jordenn- YEah I missed ya. are you a guy or a girly?
Are Allison, scribe and tim_the_hunter all out searching?
Hey Mushie - Try slogging back a few posts before jumping in. It helps you understand why no one is responding to you.
All agree on the soap thing and few agree on the fairgrounds thing. Except one guy in particular. :)
Man the new survivor is going to be like a model survivor show. They just going to let the good lookin people be on the show from now on
Jordenn, Hon, you need a new server, or get the heck away from the railroad!!! lol :)
Mushie: Specifically MINE
Who thought Colleen from survivor was hot?
Well Regg- Im a girl. I didnt think she was really all that to brag about. but I didnt even know her so I cant say lol
Where can I buy those handwarmer packets? this should be obvious I know.
does anyone know of a web site with good park maps?
I did that Clue.... I went back alot of pages but there are soooooo many....it starts to wear on the mushbrain.... thanks tho... :)
Who is the anti-fair guy, cluemaster?
i'm back. it's been a while, but i'm back. for all of you (who may or may not still be here) who think the fairgrounds are off limits, you need to read Minnesota Statues section 160.02, subd. 13, which gives the definition of public property (in the event that the fairgrounds are owned by a public corporation defined therein), and section 160.05, subd. 1 which basically states that the roadways on the fairgrounds are fair game regardless of what the state fair police dept. say.
nosnowflake you can get them at REI. :P
Crazy, don't you just love the not knowing... the mystery of it all? :) LOL
ARES! welcome. I got a question do you drive a yellow dodge dakota?
No Im like a cat very Curious! LOL
My brother went to prom with one of the girls on big brother
JAKE- it didnt happen to be Brit did it LOL I know her
Hi all. So Ares, where did you go to law school?
Cougar... how do I get to a particular post number? Especially YOURS as you stated.... ? Thanks Ares! :*
I almost embarrassed to ask, but has anyone watched Temptation Island? One couple is getting kicked off because they have a kid together.
Nice Ares - I wonder how many feet off of the roads the right-of-way extends since it would need to be in that area then.
does anyone know of a good web site for parks?
The stripper or the dyed hair one?
I have a question. What's with the "lol" I've been seeing on everyone's messages?
HA HA HA Temptation Island!
Ares, I'm a little tired but are you saying the Fairgrounds is now a possibilty? If so, that opens up a new can of worms or a box of Dove Bars!
LOL means laughing out loud
nopers, crazy. this time of year i've got a white ford tempo (it's distinguishable by its umn collegiate plates) and i was at como around noon today. during the "bad" months out of the year i've got a '99 mustang cobra i play with (also distinguishable by its umn plates).
Mushie: I am not sure. Take it for granted, I brought up the fairgrounds here about 150 posts ago and just about got lynched
Mushie - Hit the 'outline' button on the top
Ares: Where do you go to get the UMN plates, and how much do they cost?
I thought of Dove Bars too wolff...either that or the Dove soap box like I said....soooo we know what it lies in... but we no not WHERE it lies.... ;)
Ares- what up! any new ideas?
Jake - I'm actually thinking on heading home instead of going to the PP tonight. You have a cell?
Donna - the best source I've found for park maps in the city is a good old Hudson.
yea ill email it to you
n-cat: http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/forms/getstatute.shtml
just enter 160.02 or 160.05 as i gave and read for yourself. it's pretty much plain english. lol means laughing out loud it has variations of lmao (laughint my a** off), pmp (peeing my pants), sometimes its prefixed with rof (rolling on floor).
wolffpac, the fairgrounds are off limits by virtue of the fact that they're in falcon heights (at least according to my rand-mcnally). i'm just letting people find some insight into the fairgrounds.
Donna asked for a website to get maps. I found this one to be ok since I'm not very familiar with the parks around here. (I'm a first time hunter this year)
http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/parks/?loc=/depts/parks/userguide/maps.html
Copy it, paste it, boom yer done!
Happy unting all!
J - You still have my home number? You can call me with the clue tonight and I'll help out the rest of us poor bastards get a leg up.
Thanks Beckster-now I just have to get there. Time for me to go bond with my son over the playstation console.

Clue 4 There is a road which ends too soon. Used more often during June. We wish you luck and lots of fun. Hunting treasure by moon or sun
That is from the 1961 medallion hunt at Highland. Doesn't that sound like the "or you will be hunting till June" thing this year?
cougar, the brochure is at http://www.dps.state.mn.us/dvs/PlBrochure/Page6.htm#col there's a pdf form you can grab from http://www.dps.state.mn.us/dvs/PDFForms/Forms/Special%20Plates.pdf
fill it out, take it to town square with 8 or 8.50 for a plate fee, 3.50 for a filing fee, and a 25 dollar or greater donation to the scholarship fund at your college of choice.
i've got a friend from milwaukee. she love my plates to death. i told her she can get them, but the first thing she's got to do is get minnesota plates on her car :)
actually, n-cat, the public property definition is something i only caught because i couldn't remember which section the dedication clause was in.
for the record, i don't have a law degree, i don't want one, mostly because i, like most people, have a very bad impression of them. i'd just as soon read the law for myself and save myself 150 an hour. stepdogg, your sister is excluded from that opinion.
Whats up in here? where my Jugggalos at??
LOL Ares
Regg - Sort of. But the June reference in the old clue sounds like its talking about the road. The June reference this year is just telling us that the clues this year are going to be so hard that we'll be hunting until June.
Regg - What was the explanation of that clue?
WOO WOO
step, i haven't done a whole lot of thinking on the subject matter. we've been out at menard's with a collection of their 25% off bags getting a collection of discounted stuff and tools for nate's new (old) house.
WOO WOO
about sue, step?
WOO WOO
WOO WOO
How much of that fee is every year like the deer plates?
Nice....
I've still been beating my brain getting nowhere on these clues. let's just pray that number 7 will at least give us SOMETHING!!
cougar, the 25 bucks is an annual contribution.
Ares...yeah i found the law comment to be pretty funny.
Dogg - #7 does give you something. In 2000 it was the treasure, 2001, a bigger headache
T.J. where were you last night man! me, Evil Dead, Rude Boy, and Jake were all out at Como, why didnt you show?
ClueMaster, cooler club didn't give an explaination
I couldnt get outta work yo!, but its all good tonight bro, I got MY fleetwood tonight, so we aint gotta bounce in your crap, and I dont gotta work either.
Clue Master - you are so right. usually by now we have the park and a damn near location of the med locked down.
Jordenn, Hon, you need a new server, or get the heck away from the railroad!!! lol :)
depending on tonite's clue, step, i may find myself out at como (with boots this time :) tomorrow afternoon
Hell yeah, we cant take T.J.'s Fleet tonight yo
yeah, step, she did too last time i saw her. had to add that last line real quick-like :)
What do you mean - the clues told us WHAT it's hidden in - they just haven't told us WHERE it is.
I am diggin tonight, after clue 7, I might see some of you guys!
Ares - i am thinking the same thing.
Thanks!
This summer when I get a new car, I'll make the UofM investment.
So whats up man? what park we hittin up tonight?
Jack is still hot about Como cause Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J were out there last night. And Jake and Rudy Rude Boy are bitchin bout hidden falls.
Shut up E.D. i wasnt bitchin!
