Here is all the pertinent information on the hunt:
The TMK mock hunt will start on Wednesday, September 17, and end on Sunday, September 28.
Clues will be released at 9 pm each night.
There will be 12 clues in all.
The treasure will be hidden on public land in Ramsey County (stay out of the fairgrounds, off the indian mounds)
The treasure will not be hidden in a spot that will endanger hunters (along a cliff, under an electrical box, on the water of a lake/river, etc)

Prize will be announced. Donations are welcome.
btw, st. paul park is in washington county.
Interesting noodles. I'm going to look back on previous clues.
Yeah! Reg is out of the game- 1 down :)
btw, st. paul park is in washington county.
Exactly
Plus the clue uses an 'A' before it so it makes it plural and there is only one St. Paul Park (On The Mississippi) community
Yeah, like Reg would be out of the game.
triple five joe
Nice Joe TMK
I like Regs tag line ;-)

I will be back in 20 minutes-gotta "ME2 ROAM HOME" ;)
and then there was silence...
Kids - you sure have us all using our noodlers. With the obvious thought of Newell now into the mix, I'm trying to make other things fit.
The golf balls left then found is a tough one to make fit at Newell. Golf balls would hopefully land in the fairway - but the street bordering Newell is Fairview.
Reg is going to be searching China, he's going so deep.
China might be an interesting place for Reg to visit. Hehehehe
well you also hit balls on a range-
oh- I'm back in my 'caring home' :)
::kids fighting in background over who made a mess in the family room::
Well Reg has a liking for communism...
how about just bark in the embark = hidden in bark
I don't think so
just typing thoughts
how about the tune idea?
are there any 666 songs-we did cover some the other day in the Karoake thread- Devil went down to Georgia and such
I think Reg might get quite an education in China.
I thought about the driving range and the buckets of balls, but where is there a golf driving range inside the city limits? For that matter, where is a driving range in the city?
Are there actual driving ranges at those golf courses or just golf courses?
the only range I know of nearest is on highway 61 near Menards-Keller-but further east of 36 -on the corner (can't recall the st name) but there is minigolf there as well. NOT in St Paul
Keller is in Maplewood.
That's at 61 and Beam Ave.
yup that one TV ---BEAM
That might come in handy during your visit to China.
The lost and found.
I did however like Highland also for Veterans home- the monument-I was discussing it with someone when that clue came out but I don't remember who?
gang and note reminds me of Wabasha Caves
gangsters and music
and above the Wabasha Caves is the overlook/lookout/binoculars for clue 4
And at Phalen - there is a couple of first aid stations - one at the beach area and one further down the line there.
Villian = IANVILLE ;)
since it was misspelled and all
Look for golf balls left
then found
As in not right. Maybe the park is right of the golf clue reference?
KIDS actually did use numbers though
a #4 and a #1
"For one devil of...
4 1 devil of...
I suppose that could be CM - depending on which way you're facing.
hahahhah I get embark now---bark like a dog ----geesh
I took it as left behind and then found by people like us :)
BEST DRIVE-IN
Porky's

Ray Truelson was a man in tunewith his times. After stints running a root beer stand and the Flattop drive-in in south Minneapolis, in 1953 Truelson opened Porky's drive-in on University Avenue in St. Paul.
I just thought it was cool since I was looking at Iris because of the KEEN EYE and the nursing homes :)
