Blockhead, the only problem is they are very hard until the answers come out...then you are like "how did i not think of that!" The clues can just mean so many different things...

Why did I give up Como?

Ian- I don't know. But I thank you for it. I was too late to get any of the good parks, and then I just happened to be on here when you gave it up. Look at it this way: at least you don't have to take constatn harrassement from Scribe.

As sad it it sounds, you just can't ever discount Como, unless it says "It's not at Como" And even then I would be suspicious

And I was just kidding Marley, those are some great pictures. I especially like the BC ones from yesterday, over on the Maplewood side, and then in the little St. Paul part that isn't in the guide. Thanks!

ATTENTION: We will be attempting another repack tonight (the first one did not work out). The site will go down around 1 AM (Pacific), and should be back up about 4 hours later. You can follow along during the downtime at

The only problem is that they have ice sculptures in Rice park every year...

morning! Panic resumed when the boards were down. Man-o-man, am I looking at como, dissected the clues all night. Crapola- All IS fair. What a prank it would be to be in como once again.

I think THX has convinced them to give us a few hours after the clue.

I'm still thinking the same spot at BC.

Where the girls shall be happy to dance makes me think of dancing girls which makes me think of Las Vegas. So maybe the place you need to go to is "The Strip". Or it could be a strip club. Normally one might think it a disgrace to go there, but in the case of the strip the hunt is talking about, it isn't. So offhand I'm thinking maybe they're talking about a trail which is like a strip and you need to avoid the rough by staying on or close to the trail.

What does it mean when there's smoke coming out of your tower? Is that bad?

Just too much traffic. They tried doing a repack last night, and I guess it failed. They're going to try again tonight (See top of the page).

I think that means they just elected a new Pope.

I'm sooooo not happy about this last clue....

I was going to go check out Phalen today but the cold killed the Battery in the other car. Since the boy needs to goto school I had to stay home.....

Tis ok I guess.... gives me more time to try and figure this out.

ahhh- I see, I just wanted to be sure it wasn't something with my 'puter. I can understand the congestion, all this noodling is enough to feed a medium sized country.

KC0GRN I do agree... I wanted it to make it to the weekend. I took Sat night off so i'll be out ready to hunt 24 / 7.

This is a real stretch. "Go to the place, it's no disgrace, Where the girls shall be happy to dance." Girls might be happy to dance at the Dakota (which USED to be in St. Paul but is now in Mpls, and thus, it might be disgraceful to go there now). The Dakota Indians settled at IM, but I don't know if they had any connection to BC.

The only reason I don't mention Phalen, is because I don't know too much about that park. I am however, quite intimate with como. Seems like I spent an eternity there last winter

StepDogg

I'm with brass - They didn't mention golf course in clue 1 (which they always do) to make you think it may not be at a big park...now they are throwing it in there to give us a hint. "Don't look in the rough" is too obvious for it NOT to be a golf course, i think.
