ok just thought about this........the word "discerning" if you take out the "disc" part your left with "erning" as in "learning" and from "yearning" add letters or subtrac letters you might be able to pick something up from that.....?

About the downtown thing mentioned earlier about the capitol mall: Is there a park near the Minnesota History Center? Both Fifth and Ninth streets intersect at the Hist. Center. A few blocks away is fourth. Also, you can certainly learn at a museumif not at St. Paul Tech. College. Finally, iconoclast can be a reference toward religion. Possibly the cathedral?

Hey bird - I'm coolign my heels - not going to post much until the next clue, just observe, Besides - when I post I seem to get kicked out. #5 was the first clue that didn't fit - as far as we know -but it may be revealed in later clues what the "learning" thing is. Anyway - NP is the place to be. I'll be on-line throughout the night - mostly watching - hoping #6 is better, will make a decision then whether to go out - then I'll e-mail ya.

Saw that bird. She may see see it too - you need to be at the right spot. 9-5----4 is truly the key to this whole thing. No-one else has figured it out. MedallionGuy - if you know what were talking about, e-mail me (click on "Golden Boy")

Being that there are two clues about studying and learning, I definitely think it is by two schools, like Highland with its senior and junior, or Battle Creek with its elementary and junior. About the new lighted trails at Battle Creek, I know the hours that they are lit are until nine o'clock. Does it possibly start at fou or five? Also the last time at Battle Creek was '95. Could iconoclast be a reference to "BATTLE"?

Golden Boy, do you have to be at the corner house of 895 to see the "4". Also, no disrespect but why are you not digging if you know the key?

without giving away your hard work and energy, can you say if the 9,5----4 is relatively easy to figure out if one romes around Newell? Thanks. By the way, wasn't the Chair-Key clue the 8th clue last year?

Hey guys... We were thinkin that it is at Horton... there is 3 groves of trees one with 4 trees one with 5 trees and one with 9 trees ... approx. 18 feet away from the center of the triangle the groves make is a hockey rink.... this has a score board and other reasons to look in this park.
