Then don't waste our time. We're trying to help each other here. No time for playing games. If you want to share fine, but try not to post worthless messages. The server is having a hard time as it is with everyone on it and only reading and not participating. That's why everyone's been asking to only keep things to hunting for the medallion.

I am guessing Newell Park is NP and Phalen Beach is PB? Where exactly is Newell? N. St. Paul?

My name is Nightdigger. I work during the day and dig at night. The moonlight points to Highland Park. I'm doomed to roam the parks at night digging for the treasure. I can only be detroyed by someone finding the treasure first before me.

hidden falls, if its not at newell me beleaves. but what bugs me, is #1=hidden falls. #2=battle creek, #3=highland.#4=cherokee. and they all fit their seperate clues perfect. hmm, theirs extra money this year. and the word conoclast implies break with tradition. maybe a multiple medellion hunt?

So where is the REAL park?? Are you going to share??

What does anyone think @ adorn the front door could be a plaque that says Built in 1954, 1945.... or such? And what does anyone think @ Hilter being the iconoclast.... and what he did to Jewish people.. HP area has always been known as a Jewish community...or at least several years ago.

Why a frisby golf course, Paco?

Wed, 01/27/1999 - 10:08 PM Permalink
magbru

I'll give all of you a major clue but won't reveal the exact details. The reason there is such an emphasis on the golf course destruction is because it is next to a private golf course in St. Paul not a public. they could get in big trouble if their hunt ruined private property. why do you think that there is a new rule this year about destroying peoples property.

THEY WANT THIS HUNT TO GO THE DISTANCE!!!!!!!!

I have to lean towards HP just because I think the medallion is somewhere inbetween the Sliding Hills by the water towers and the ouitdoor swimming pool (near or on the frisbee golf course[no fairways or greens])

I am here GoldenBoy, having the damndest time with this board and reading and posting, this sucks, but better than nothing though. Right now i am trying to catch up on messages about 80 more to read, post if u are still here. I went out to Newell last night for almost 2 hours, dug for an hour. I was on here this morning at 8am just in case you posted before you left I wanted to be sure though, before I went out again.

Alliego, have you been to Highland to check out the surrounding there? If so, what can you point that's at the park that would fit into the clues?

ICONOCLAST=colonastic, which is what these clues do to me, but I'm

clueless

My instinct says Highland, but I like the Golden Boy's explanations of clues.

I'm in Woodbury also. Want to carpool to NP? How long you 'spect to stay out?

Bullshit Newell can't hold 20 cars--could hold a thousand, if you were there 15 years ago that place was packed on the last day and still room for more people. You obviously dont know what u are talking about Robert.

Will someone tell me where Newell Park is at or near

Wed, 01/27/1999 - 10:12 PM Permalink
Treasure Digger

I think that's part of the challenge. Mom wants us to think that a lot of the parks fit the clues until the end when we all say "I knew it was there all along!"

I DON'T THINK THE NAME OF THE PARK IS EVEN IN THE CLUES YET THIS HUNT WILL GO THE DISTANCE

Snake, I think your the only sane person on here. I agree about reading too much into the clues!

Who is from St. Bernards? I saw someone mention it earlier

It seems like people already scoured Newell and Highland and maybe even Phalen. Why keep going back?

Barton Fink

has anyone noticed that 51 and 5 basically triangulate the borders of highland park??? i'd say that may count as adorning the front door....

and the 4+shout = "fore" = there IS a golf course at the park we are searching for....

and 9+numbers keep score=innings in a baseball game, of which there are fields at highland...

just noticed a street called Rankin leading to higland park... rankin=ranking="numbers keep score"????

not to mention Homer St... another baseball reference.. (and an indirect reference to my picture!!!)

saw it earlier and no one has said anything lately, but pig's eye park is the place.

I agree with Snake also. They are being purposely ambiguous with these clues. I bet they are having a grand old time reading our ideas.
