Ten 4 good buddy

brad day 10...

well, it's clue ten, and brad's beard is nearing zztop proportions. after a futile day at harriet island, clue ten is still not telling us anything. i am waiting for 11's clue that simply reads, "don't be a homo, go to como". regardless, tomorrow we will be heading to Bruce Vento Regional trail. let me note that on clue 4 i mentioned that it probably wasn't in a "park" proper- it was probably on bruce vento trail. additionally- we refuse to believe it is in swede hollow. we were there again tonight with Klondike Kate's niece Katie and none of us think it is there- additionally- the park is very picked over. i don't know why we are avoiding that park-other than it seems to obvious and we think the writer is screwing with us.



so- here is clue ten.


Tho' hills abound, it's on level ground
A rivulet gurgles by
The answer's meshing with a beer refreshing
In the midst should seekers vie


apparently there is a warm spring running through BV trail (swede hollow has NO moving water, it's all frozen) so here is a website to help you on your way. i'm going to noodle a little more, have some more beer and watch the australian open. BTW- its 126 degree's in sydney right now...bastards....

fiddle dee dee!

One whistled Dixie so says a pixie

While another worked stern to stem

Though they never met, it's a darn good bet

Together they'll lead to the gem

we spent yesterday at harriet island. i love that park. we'll be heading back there today- to look at raspberry island (used to be called navy island and it could be considered "sweet") additionally we'll be checking out where "Belle St." runs into Water street. Belle (southern belle, whistling dixie, not doing a whole lot) is across from a small harbor filled with boats (sterm to stem). i'm kind of glad that no one has any better ideas. this is a tough hunt, and we are dealing with clue writers revenge. bastards....

It keeps going, and going...

Here are more clues!

Clue No. 6
The dankness of the vale may your spirit impale:
The setting seems oh so gloomy!
But be brave, you endless knave,
You'll find it really quite roomy.

Clue No. 7
'Neath King and Court, they once did cavort
As though living in times quite feudal
But time brings change, so it's not so strange
To see an owner walk his poodle

Clue No. 8

Saints and sinners, losers and winners
Sped by at a quickened pace
While the gangster's moll, a German doll
Once played at this star-crossed place

after clue 7, we spent the afternoon at Swede Hollow yesterday. i don't know why we keep coming back to that damn park. it was pretty amazing though the difference from last year til this year. last year Phalen Creek was flowing and although there were some frozen areas most of it was water- this year everything was frozen solid. there was also a lot more snow. last year- this was a pond with water- this year, FROZEN. :)

Today i think we are headed out to Harriet Island.

More clues!

Clue #2
Tramping hill and dell, you may hear tell
About the contests waged of yore
Much of the history remains a mystery
Which we hope to bring to the fore

Clue #3
All we see was done naturally
Water and ice are here
In this harbor of impressive arbor
Approach and have no fear

Clue# 4
Even those in detention during our recent convention,
Heard a politically hip chick
Is it a pig or pit bull, it was argued most fitful,
That looks more lovely in lipstick?

Clue #5
It takes all sorts to come and play sports
In this sweet land of fun and frolic
With bower enclosed and beasts exposed
You're bound to lose your colic

where are we at? who knows! we like swede hollow, battle creek, and i really like bruce vento regional trail....

It's ba-ack!

Clue #1

Oh great King Boreas, make winter glorious:
Unleash the medallion quest!
We'll be up front: We devote the hunt
To Box, our friend, now at rest

Quick thoughts: in a box, Don, front ave. that's all we got. tune in tomorrow for the next clue. :)
