its by the hill but thats all i can say youll be close the sign is very small and the path is covered by snow. so its hard to find. Me and my friends are gonna bring some

food beer and have a little fire. you can join us if ya want. I found the pitchfork in the new 1999 webster dict.

well i have my doubts about BC because some of its clues are not as strong as NEWELL. ill be the one wearing a Lakers jacket and with a degeneration x hat. Ill be

the one yelling and joking around a lot

Sorry MedCop, but you have your clues a bit askew. The 954 is in clue 3 and it would take more than just the word score to make me believe its referring to a

hockey rink. Likewise, I don't think the word goal is of any real significance, certainly not compared to the rest of the clue. Personally I don't believe studying the

past and value in the new refer to a park that has both old and new things. I think all parks have new and old things in them. Also I don't think Snelling was famous

enough to be the person they're talking about, though Henry Ford may be. My biggest complaint against Highland is the iconoclast clue.

well is all im saying is that devils den is very hard to see in the daylight so i couldnt see how you could find it if you haven't been there before and when i went there

earlier i think i jsut got lucky that i found it. Ill be there at about 1200 tonight with my buds with food beer and we will have a little fire

DUFF I don't think you are showing your ignorance. The theory I've heard is they are unscrambling the first letter of each clue and coming up with that. Seems like a

huge stretch to me.

Remeber all, there is usually only one good meaning per clue, they haven't told us a lot yet

allison that is my same sticking point on HP is iconalast nothing fits that i saw out their today to that one word

After reading thru the clue talk it seeems you are all without a clue,as in clueless! the park I was at today fits all the parameters and hasnn't been mentioned yet.there

were about 5 of us there on a beautiful friday.which means we're all 5 of us terribly clever or terribly stupid. As for sharing the location, that seems dumb, but then

I'm from the East!

No user inform…

Looking back at previous years the first few clues reveal what it's hidden in, maybe the numbers reveal mean it's in golf club covers?

I have some time to kill before the new clues, so here are some thoughts all of you out there may (or may not) find useful. Clue#1 Obviously it is telling us its in St.

Paul and in a park. I honestly believe they are saying the park has a golf course. Otherwise the line about staying off fairways and greens would be totally superflous.

Yes it would mean narrowing it down to three parks right away, but they're three really big parks. Plus it was worded ambiguously enough that no one really rushed

out to dig.

There is something to the Devil's Den theory. It does exist. I hung out with my best friend in highschool there many times. Lots of trees. Way back, not so visible

unless you know what you are looking for.
