Isn't it funny to see the creative minds at work...don't give up on your thoughts...we have no absolute proof as of yet and anything is still possible. Those who are discouraging certain parks...have YOU found the medallion yet????

JW and what do you think the pleasure is at cherokee? pleasure could be the playground at mounds

If you think long and hard enough, there is a relation to just about any park in St. Paul for each clue...

Clue Master:

Yea!!! Hockey team back! Plus... If you add 112 it equals four, DIVIDED BY *2* = 2!!!! Cherokee it is, and it will prolly be found in something double as well!

(Am seriously thinking of becoming Clue Master2!!!!!!! ROFLOL!!!)

jenny what did you see at mounds? my roomates are out there now. i still think it's there but it's still so vague? and not many at cherokee huh? that's strange. i would have thought alot to be there with the bakery reference.

still here...just came back from Mound....no luck :(

greensIvs2

I'm here. Don't have anybody to dig with... So, I sit here and help out. (sigh)

Jenny.... Go back to Cherokee.

Does anybody here know the park well? Like, is there something in the park that could/would serve a "double" duty??????? Near Annapolis???

New to the cooler, but thought I'd check you guys out.... Not exactly

sure how this communication works so here goes.... reading the last few posts and not sure I'm getting it all. Missing why "cherokee" is the latest supposition. Any Help? Also, is Highland out of the running..."high ground" = highland?

A building, maybe?

what could be the double division at mounds? that has me stumped! does anyone think that the word aid in tonights clue ties in mound with the hospital?retirement home at earl and thorn streets?

Sat, 01/31/1998 - 1:51 AM Permalink
Brian Carlson

double division at MOUND: there is the Scenic View path that divides 2 sets of mounds...two mounds on each side hmmmmmmm

Sat, 01/31/1998 - 1:52 AM Permalink
greensIvs2

Something with the number 2 on it???? Maybe Satellites (men & woman's) by the double division on Annapolis????? (I'm getting tired now... starting to grasp at straws.)

B.C. were there many at mounds?

Live near Cherokee....double duty could be the ball diamond / sled hill on the south side of the park next to Annapolis. I may wake up my other half and go check it out?!

greenslvs2....what park are you thinking?

I see nothing at Mounds that could be double division and I've only been to Mounds...but I'm exhausted and can't put much effort into deciphering tonight...I do feel strongly about the borders though at Cherokee. I think I'll check it over tomorrow. But my advice is to not wear yourselves out...be rested for when the name of the park comes out...hopefully on Sat. or Sun. Good night all.

does anyone think that the word plume from last night has anything to do with plum street adjacent to mounds?

greensIvs2

Fool: I've been on here for hours; I'm tired and snippish!!! Read the posts, furcryunoutloud!

Cheryl: You gotta a copy of all clues? And slog thru the posts like I have. But you've got it!!! The majority

Sat, 01/31/1998 - 1:59 AM Permalink
greensIvs2

of the clues this year are all "double". You're in the rite spot. And the reasoning for #2 is "double", plus if you add 112 (this year's Hunt) and then DIVIDE ("double" "divison" - plus there are two divisions in the park... I can't explain xactly - try reading up... Sorry!) BY TWO, YOU GET TWO.

am off to dream. i'll be sure to let ya'll know when i find that preety little thing. remember this name. may the most lucky win!!!!!

I mean the reason for *asking* about a building with the #2 on it... NOT clue #2.

green---you can also see the nsp thing-a-ma-jig from mounds, from plum street!!

Foolsbee forget Mounds. I was just at Cherokee. If you go to the intersection of Annapolis (a city street) and Cherokee you will see a sign that says Mendota Heights/Lilydale. It is the double dividing border line. If you Mounds people want to continue wasting your time then please continue; you will thin out the contenders for the prize (prize; what does he mean by that? There was a prize once awarded at Mounds. It must be there!!!)

Alex at the park. Cool people, Alex. Good Dog too.

thanks pat that is very helpful, what do you think about the word aid?

Pat: Bless you. i just didn't want to slog back up thru all those posts. Also, there's another dividing line... like on the other side.

Aid=bandaid; DOUBLE. Last year: Curad

Trick this year (IMHO) is DOUBLE.

okay so you say cherokee, than are we throwing out the repeating too soon issue?

Brian Carlson

IMHO??? what is that?

Sat, 01/31/1998 - 2:12 AM Permalink
foolsbee

green--if you think everything is double then maybe it's at como. never has it been back-to-back, that would be tricky. and last night's clue "you'll soon be back"....just thoughts
