Treasure Hunt III

I've named it so because we expect Max and Pammy's to be earlier than ours.

The set date is Friday, July 28th, 2006. Get off work if at all possible.

Tay and I have been scouting today and things are shaping up. Our hopes for this one are to match or possibly exceed the intellectual level of clues that was present in Treasure Hunt I while hopefully matching if not simply nearing the physical daring-do that we all experienced in Treasure Hunt II.

Tell your friends. The more the merrier. We will be pre-setting teams for this hunt, just because there will be some clues that do require skill sets/ pre-existing knowledge. We need to have all applicants respond by noon, July 21st, either on this blog (comment below) or verbally or by e-mail or by snail mail or text message or instant message or smoke signals to Tay or myself. We ask people to commit to the entire day so that we don't have cases a la Holbrook. Also, there will more than likely be a small entry fee, and we're considering upping the ante from THII to buy pizza and refreshments afterwards.

Our tentative equipment list includes a portable CD player, swimming gear, and a shovel. Possible use of grappling hook to be determined later.

We hope you're as excited as we are. Sign below. We'll also be putting a link to this post on the sidebar. Max and Pammy, if you want to do the same for your hunt, go ahead.

addendum

as you may or may not have noted, the title of this post has been changed and the countdown has begun for what will be the third treasure hunt, that being jason's and mine. after speaking with pammy and mattson, it sounds like their hunt will be the night of august first, but i will leave it to them to post officially.

jason and i have done some more scouting and have finalized clue spots and worked up a working flow chart for the clues. so things are shaping up on those ends of things.

anyway, tell your friends about this site so they can get news on treasure hunt stuff. also, get them to sign up. as of right now we have 12 people and we'd like to get 8 more. that's all for now-tay

i'd like to do it, only if i don't have work and you guys let me.

Tay said...

Josh said...

oi

the dain train said...

actually i won't be able to make it, sorry, i really wanted to do this, but i guess there will be other times.

Tay said...

dain, that is truly unfortunate. we regrettably will take your name off the list.

Hillstorm said...

Haven't asked for work off yet. but uh, yeah.

88 said...

ok

jobble said...

I suppose I will do this one, btw, is any part of this one gonna in the dark?

Tay said...

we are starting at noon and don't foresee it going into night, but it will go until it ends i suppose.

expect this one to be twice the amount of clues as the first. the specific number will be, as always, not disclosed, but it will be longer.

Hillstorm said...

So are you saying it could go until 9 or 10 at night?

Tay said...

i'm saying it will go until everyone gets done.

I hope to attend this wonderful event if I am allowed. I don't know if I can yet due to parental, girlfriend-ish, and work related issues. Write my name in pencil.

Jason said...

okay. we'll need a commitment by the deadline, though, Tim.

Twice the number of clues doesn't necessarily mean twice the time, but seeing how long some teams took last time, I wouldn't be extremely surprised if it went nearly to dusk.

Jason said...

In a match of being dominant, who would win?

1970s Pittsburgh Steelers
1990s Chicago Bulls
2000s Roger Federer
1990s New York Yankees

this comment ended up being a lot crappier than i thought. my bad.

Tom said...

Tay said...

John Valesano
Jeff Smith
Shane Penoyer
Kyle Solstad
Josh Mattson

swalker said...

I also.

constant_k said...

Um, what about h-brook and pammy?

matt said...

count me in.

also ariel, pretty sure you stole the phrase i=excited from me. i command you to cease at once.

Jason said...

I just realized I left a comment here that was meant for The Forum. And yet nobody broke stride. The wonders of blogging.

H-brook is a no-go for the 28th. I thought Pamela would be available, but I don't know.

Timmy John said...

FOR THE RECORD... TIMOTHY_JAMES SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED (ahem, josiah) WITH THE ORIGINAL TIMMY JOHN.

Timmy John said...

I regretfully submit that I will be working at a youth retreat called Steubenville North. As such, I will not partake in this most fabulously engineered afternoon of fun.

Erik said...

Another thing Ariel has stolen from Matt:

* His heart <3 *

Jason said...

There aren't any fricking invisible ink clues.

Man that sucked.
