Looks like a good clue analysis from My Dalliance. The only thing I wonder though is, what does it actually tell us? If there are any clear patterns, I'm sure the clue writer will make a point of breaking them.

I suppose it would be around -226 degrees below zero.

Maureen Hursey - 05:03pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7331 of 24874)

1939, 1947, whatever's better, can you throw in 98, love that year. Can't make it sat. So have to meet on the dig site.

Terry Valentine - 05:04pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7332 of 24874)

And to top off all the noodling - we might have a different clue writer this year.

I really don't see much in the way of a pattern anyways. There seldom is. The only things that seem certain is the first clue will state Ramsey County or city limits and to stay off golf courses. Usually one of the early clues tells us what it's in if you're clever enough to figure that out and the very last clues narrow the hunt within the park that gets identified about midway through.

Here's something interesting to think about. You can't actually feel the cold air. The only thing you can really feel is your own skin, because that is as far as your nerves go. So when you step outside and it feels like it's below zero out, you're not really feeling sub-zero air. You're really only feeling your skin and how it's temperature has dropped below what it normally is. Once your skin gets to 32 degrees, it would freeze and I doubt you'd still feel anything at that point. Consequently, we can never really know what anything colder than 32 degrees genuinely feels like. All we can really notice is how quickly it cools our skin below it's usual temperatures.

Here's a tricky one back for you. You're out hunting and it's 20 degrees out, but a wind kicks up and the wind chill get's down to 0. You decide to go get some coffee and leave your shovel sitting out for an hour. What temperature is the shovel when you get back?

I was looking at the cooler crew site and noticed that the Medallion has only been in Hidden Falls twice so far, once in 1954 and once in 1993. That's a gap of 39 years! And Hidden Falls is probably close in size to Phalen. So maybe the fact it hasn't been in Phalen for almost 20 years doesn't really mean anything?

Well there's always the thought that it hasn't been in Phalen for so long because it will never be in Phalen again, but I'm starting to doubt that thinking. The park that Maplewood got so mad about was a Maplewood park I believe whereas any part of Phalen that goes into Maplewood is part of a regional park and thus not really Maplewood's concern. Same thing with Battle Creek and it was there not too long ago.

Well Joe Green. I'm curious if you're better off in a team type deal.

You can be. Depends. More folks cover more ground. More heads and prespectives to noodle the clues and try and figure stuff out. But, on the other side of the coin - no pun... LOL!!! - more 'Heads to muddle up the clues, too.

Would you share if you found The Med? That's something to think about and that you might want to talk over with your co-diggers.

A lot of us here dig some alone, then hook up with friends, then dig alone, hook up with friends...

The Medallion's a small pale blue/tourquisey disk of lucite, or some kind'a plastic like that. Ittiz opaque. About 2" around, and about 1" thick.

Quite a lot of us noodle and dig about 18 hours a day during The Hunt.

Not a prob, and don't worry about it Walrus!

Well, check out www.coolercrew.com

That's a good place to start for a HUGE history on The Hunt. All the clues from all past Hunts are even there.

Hang out here, with us Coolerheads, The Cooler Crew. When not out digging (or sleeping one-two hours...) we're here eating and noodling clues.

You'll get to know folks here and if you want to maybe hunt with some, they may be open to it.

Then just go to the park you think The Med's hidden in; find the spot that seems to be indicated from the clues, and then dig!

Don't destroy tho. Like don't dig to China. The Medallion will NOT be buried under ground. It will be above ground, either just lying on it, or buried in *snow*.

Ian - Love your 2nd line - one of my all time favorite songs.

I think a lot of people are getting their stuff together so that they can spend the next 2 weeks getting next to no sleep and ignoring their household chores.

and I got a Palina-Joe! I remember like yesterday, when Hannah was born, the Dr. that wound up doing the delivery kept trying to make small talk and we had a long discussion on her name and how it was a palindrome. I hated that guy - wanted MY OWN Dr. to be there!

This is my first year for them, Mom. So I don't know yet. But I'm thinking ittiz better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...

I saw the sox that Trent got last year... They come with batteries and keep your feet warm... But, they were like $15.00, even on sale, and then with all the batteries I imagine you'd go thru!

I couldn't find Sorel liners (Fleet Farm... WHY have I been saying Menard's? SHEESH! I'm really tired, I guess that's why.) only had one pair left - a man's Size 13! And they were still really xpensive. So, I figured with my old liners, these funky SCUBA-like sox and regular sox, my feet *should* be warm...

If not, then I find some Sorel liners I guess.

nevermind.... I have exhausted all the sites I know about looking for a Lamprey Park. I guess just seeing it in print a couple times made me believe in it. It does sound so familiar. The one I thought it was is actually Lambert's Landing.

Ian - 09:46pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7488 of 24874)

I couldn't find anything either.

aaah, good idea E&H. But, maybe it is a mythical park that Ares roams in :)

There *is* a Lamprey Pass State Wildlife area, but it is close to Forest Lake.

Hey, I just found a post from last year by me and I read it and guess what it said? "I could really go for some now but I have my Baileys and coffee" hahahahaha I havn't changed much at all! post 27106

There is no more info on Lamprey park (1885) in this book so I will look further into it tomarrow. See if I can find anything else out in any other books about it. I will let you know.

There have been many parks renamed- what if the "park" is ever reffered to in a clue by a past tense-old park name? never know.

Heeeeey, I am starting to really wonder if Ares exists...reading back...I wrote in 27102 that he was NOT at the Re-HashBash!

Am I typing to myself again :)

Terry Valentine - 09:58pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7495 of 24874)

Back! Things are warming up here a bit.

All the city parks I can think of have had the same name for their whole existence. Are there any that have changed?

Ian - 09:58pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7496 of 24874)

Hi Terry...you coming back tomorrow?

No, at least I'm still in-n-out. You've gotten me obsessed with that park. No medallion to dig for, might as well.

isn't Central park the Capitol Mall?

Is Crosby close to Hidden Falls?

I might check it out on Monday too.

Terry Valentine - 10:12pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7503 of 24874)

Crosby is very close to Hidden Falls from my memory.

Hidden Falls was actually a fun hunt. I wouldn't mind hunting there again.

emmy & hannah's mom - 10:12pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7504 of 24874)

Yeah, Ian. Crosby is right down the Road at 35E and Shepard Road. They kind of link together.

kinda, it is off Shepard Rd. but I think it is railed off at night. mostly a trail.

Ian - 10:15pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7506 of 24874)

Are there trails that connect?

Terry Valentine - 10:15pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7507 of 24874)

Isn't that one marina down there too?

wasn't it found in a diaper at Hidden Falls too? eeeewe

Terry Valentine - 10:16pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7509 of 24874)

Yup. Anything white seems to be used. Makes me wonder every year what white thing it'll be placed in.

emmy & hannah's mom - 10:16pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7510 of 24874)

Yeah, trails go underneath the bridge.

someone should "noodle" a list of everything white!

I think that's the marina that was in so much financial trouble last Spring. Don't know if it's still up and running or not.

Terry Valentine - 10:17pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7513 of 24874)

It's really quite pretty down in that park. I remember strolling along the river, almost forgetting to dig just mesmerized by the movement of the water.

Lots of woods?

sounds like Ares had a mythical spell on you Terry :)

Terry Valentine - 10:19pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7517 of 24874)

Is that the Watergate Marina?

Terry Valentine - 10:20pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7518 of 24874)

I always seem to get mythical spelled by water.

I have none of my maps, books and stuff here. I feel like I'm in the dark and still clueless.

I have been bouncing back between last years cooler and this one trying to refresh my memory on things and not much has changed.

Terry? How could you leave the house without your clue/puck/park hunting gear?

slap on hand*

Terry Valentine - 10:21pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7522 of 24874)

Ian - There's wooded areas away from the river...but not through most of the park.

Ian - 10:23pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7523 of 24874)

I haven't switched from QWEST and tomorrow is the 'forced' switch day.

cellphone or home phone switch?

Relax Ian - I HAVE switched from Qwest and they still send me their mail. They're extending the transition. you were talking about internet access, right?

Ian - 10:24pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7526 of 24874)

internet access

Terry Valentine - 10:25pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7527 of 24874)

Ian - that park is rather long and narrow...more like Cherokee sort of...except it's down at water level instead of up on the bluff. Most is open. There's one big shelter on the north side of the park.

I really don't wanna change e-mail...I had everything going there because I assumed they'd never change.

Terry Valentine - 10:26pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7530 of 24874)

I am still getting my qwest mail too...and they haven't charged us for internet access for three months now!

Ian - 10:27pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7531 of 24874)

Terry, I haven't paid for two years.

emmy & hannah's mom - 10:27pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7532 of 24874)

from the link in the email....

Qwest.net and MSN have decided to give customers more time to voluntarily migrate to MSN. The start of the automatic migration process has been moved back, this process will now start during the month of March 2002.

I *was* very happy with Qwest. But I have no desire to be an MSN customer, especially by force. We did the cable modem thing and I have no regrets.

Terry Valentine - 10:27pm Jan 18, 2002 CST (#7533 of 24874)

I like the broadband. We got email today about how everyone's email with them is going to change...but they are going to have the ability to get your mail on the web and 6 mail boxes...and I think 6 different websites.
