Just out of curiousity, is there any rules in the parks stating you can't be in them after certain hours? Tonight I kept getting the odd feeling some park ranger would come out and tell me I had to go home (I saw one in a truck)

They let it slide for the hunt though

Yes they close at like 10 but this time of the year they know there will be crazy people in the park at all hours. If you look like your looking or digging they will leave you alone!

Ah, well I was way ahead of that time.. just seemed odd, I was expecting to see more people out there or something, I only noticed one other person at harriett tonight, and none at all at kellogg, was wondering if other people knew something I didn't

Isn't this in West St Paul? Is that outside Ramsey Co?

Harriett, it was down by the docks area, then when I was walking back over to navy island, the truck drove up there too...

Most parks want you out my like 10 or 11... but screw that.... we're out in a lot of parks all year round, and never get bugged..... cept for maybe lillydale.... this time of year rocks, cause you actually have a reason to be there

Right frosti, but its WSP- they never label the suburbs right on that site- they are all "St. Paul"

Yeah, and if you are in the parks after hours any other time of the year, make sure you have an escape plan... cuz it's a $100 fine.

Wicked Nick

Yeah.... dont wear no heavy ass boots... or if ya do.. make sure you can run in them

Artemis The Huntress

Yes IGH is Dakota Co, and so is SSP and WSP. I grew up there

One parting thought.... Does anyone know when they've usually taken that big salvation army pot down after the holidays? or is it just up the whole winter until spring when they setup the fountain?

I drove by rice park tonight, they had a news crew there and all with the ic sculpture carvers thare and thought to myself "no way they'd put it in there especially if they were tryin to make it hard" Then again.. maybe it's frozen in one of the ice chunks in the disgard piles :) lol

A fairly new park that is still in consideration is the one where the Queen Delta paddleboat docks during the summer along Shepard Road. Across from the old pioneer press building.

Nite Frosti and Sethmon SCD's and MCL!

Dolly- where is 40 Acres Park? I haven't heard of that one.

If it's not found by saturday, I predict all the parks will be crawling with hunters :) It's supposed to warm up a tad

Someone else mentioned a parking lot once, I wasn't quite sure about it though

Tue, 01/21/2003 - 11:38 PM Permalink
Artemis The Huntress

I hope it does! (last past sat and warm up a little)

question...what are people using for search tools other than flashlights and rakes? :)

Tue, 01/21/2003 - 11:40 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

Hmm, I read that more as be south of the capitol, look to the north... How I read it that way, my brain won't say

The northstars "turned cold" to MN and moved south to TX.

Sounds more like they got warm and left us cold:)

ANN...any public property outside. Remember 6th and Cedar under the mailbox?

I'm not sure about other people, but my father came along with me tonight and he had one of those insanely superpowered 1 gajillion candlewatt flashlights, it sure made the darkest places bright

Thanks Dolly! Thats wild, It looks like its in St Paul, but says Dakota Co on the map, I'll have to look into it more.

Anyone else reading the clues and thinking they sound like navigation points? Kinda like if I was plotting a course, I would need to know where this is and that is as I'm going along it....
