Speaking from experience...30 years worth...it gets to be a good feeling to know you were that close to the medallion...especially when you get a year or two when you've blown the whole thing.

Real pain is finding out you put it back. After that...everything doesn't feel so bad. It's a matter of perspective I guess.

Most of the people in the club are pretty nice with a few exceptions. And none of those are doing the hunt.

As for the spotters, there was that time at Conway where there was a guy that just stood across the park, looking at where the treasure was with no digging tools, and he just stood there from 11pm to like 4am.

Allison Wonderland - David Allison has a reputation for being the best clue noodler in St. Paul. He's usually right about which park the medallion is in long before anyone else knows. When he says it's in a certain park, hundreds of diggers follow. When he's right, it's great. But when he's wrong...

1) So they know when The Med's found.

2) They know who found The Med.

3) So The Med can't be kept.

Remember, Tim, you HAVE to turn The Med in rite away. RITE AWAY. Not in two hours, not in five, not in three days. You pick it up and go directly to MomPress.

Tim - think about it...

you have a puck in the snow worth $10,000.

there are thousands of folks looking for that one puck

security come to mind?

I always figure when the spotter sees it's been picked up, there is a notification to police or whatever until the people get out of the park.

I mean, with the exeption of clue 12, I see no reason for a spotter. MAybe someone might drop by and check if the medallion has been found at like 4:30 am, but even that is doubtful. It is all too risky.

If someone found it and didn't turn it in, then I guess just no one would win the money. There's not a lot they can do really. If someone walks off with it, they probably don't know who it was, even if they did have a spotter see them, unless the spotter writes down the license plate or something. Even then it would be hard to tell if they really found it or just found something unless they were close by.

But, the thought of going down in history as the one, single person to ruin over 50 years of history and tradition... I couldn't do it. Famous would be cool; infamous I can't stomach. I cherish history and tradition too much.

The Hunt's more than just an event. It's a part of *me*. Something in *me*. I could never kill that.

The problem is if they think it's just an "off" Saturday night with no game in town, they'll schedule enough help for what they think they'll need to handle the expected crowd. Then if an extra hundred people show up, that help gets stretched thin and ends up getting crabby and we get bad service and no one ends up happy. The person who does the scheduling probably doesn't think about the hunt. But I would think if we call them early enough that they can schedule enough help for that night, then things would hopefully be ok. The only thing I'm wondering is if we wouldn't be better off maybe just trying to see if we can reserve the upstairs instead of trying to fit in downstairs?

And when we call and say there's 100 or so folks showing up, they're going to hit us with renting a room. Been there, done it. The cost o'the room will increase depending upon how many xtra folks they bring in to handle the larger crowd as they wouldn't have had to call in those xtra folks had we not decided to descend upon them like locusts...

But the extra people mean extra business and if the business doesn't pay for the help, then one would have to question how they stay in business in the first place. If we wanted a private room, they could hit us with a fee, but they can't charge us just to show up. But I'm thinking if we don't tell them, then we're almost guaranteeing a bad experience. Maybe better yet I'll just walk over there after work tomorrow and talk to the person I know who works there and get her opinion.

GOOD MMMMOOOOOOORRRRRRNNNNNIIIIINGG!!

Hiyall! Sure is good to see everyone here gearing up for the HUNT! I was here lurking on the OLD board a couple weeks ago, and it was heating up then! Glad that the PP got us the 2002 board early, although I suspect Allison is right about how many posts there'll be before the thing even starts....

I'm thinking that "Dad" and I should be able to at least make an appearance at the Pre-Dig thing - hope to see some new faces there this year (as well as some familiar ones!!).

Anyhoo - best get going...thinking that coffee's gonna need another refill here pretty quick. Have a great day!

How much snow do y'all have left in St. Paul? I heard it was in the mid 50s yesterday in Mankato!

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered in past years, or maybe even this year, but there would be way too many posts to slog looking for it...so my question is: was there ever a year when there was no snow for the hunt? If so, how and where did they hide the medallion?

LIQUOR LADY - 07:44am Jan 9, 2002 CST (#2436 of 24791)

not much snow left now and my guess is alot more is gonna melt today. I don't know if theres ever been a hunt without snow, I havn't seen one yet since i've been digging.

Lots of posts about hunts where there was no snow. The med has been hidden in everything from dirt to garbage from the sounds of it.

We have very little snow left, and with overnight temps in the 40's last night, we're not going to have any very soon.

ouch ll. there's something about your own kid's puke that's supposed to keep you from throwing up yourself. so when you almost do you know its bad.

sprydoggy - 07:57am Jan 9, 2002 CST (#2440 of 24791)

Hey timmy the hunter if Allison Wonderbra is the best clue noodler in St Paul Than youre in a world of hurt Last year Wonderbra kept on and on on about DeSoto st and whatever that crack infested park was but he blew it last year big time! I called the park and location check last year cooler for yourself. This year again I will call the correct park before anyone else. Maybe he was distracted last year by the hopes of fame from the movie production,it sure seems like he was more interested in the movie crew than the cooler crew. Now ABC is going to be here to cover the hunt so Wonderbra will be occupied trying to get his face on the tube.

I didn't say I was having a good day. I was just commenting on the weather. There's not a cloud in the sky, the sun's getting stronger as the days grow longer and is shining, shining, shining!

I noticed yesterday my lilies are starting to come up... What a beautiful day. I should go out and work in the yard. In a t-shirt.

Nah, Eags. Ain't gonna happen. MomPress ain't gonna buy in to it.

Hhhuuummm... I just thought o'sumpin...

San Jose *is* a sister city. Midknight-Rider paper... Can't remember the name o'the paper rite off the top o'my head - funny name. Inee-hoo... Used to be a Med Hunt out there, too. Of COURSE, I'm sure it never had the history ours does - our is "so special." But, there was one and they had to stop it cuz those fruits and nuts couldn't behave and dug everything up and destroyed and were just generally rotten and bad. Not like us perfect folk here in MN, you know?

Well, my fiend used to live in SJ and hunt... I'll have to ask her what ittiz like to hunt w/no snow. It doesn't snow (or rain) in southern California, you know. Maybee we can get some ideas of what a Med would be hidden in when there's no snow...

Me? I think I'll bee pretty suspicious if I see an orange lying around some park...
