I'm still here - haven't convinced hubby to get up yet....double division thought (have patience, I can be a little slow) Annapolis is division between St. Paul and Mendota Heights/West St. Paul AND Ramsey and Dakota counties.

You're correct, but I've been sitting here, seeing you see exactly the majority of notes I've been posting for the last 2.5 hours. Had you been reading them, you would have seen my reasoning even for "you'll soon be back"... even in it's double form.

But, whatever. *All* of us are entitled to our opinions and thoughts. Just please do *not* ask me to repeat those of mine that I have voiced while you have been on.

Bev... I was then following the thought of "double" after your gum comment... WHAT IF THERE'S TWO MEDS!!!! Fat chance, but dreaming never hurt!

But.. and bare w/me as I'm not a native of MN... "double"... CHERYL: Any TWIN things in Cherokee?????

Bri: Don't know how soon, but I believe it's to be posted on the Winter Carnival page of PP. I'm thinking as soon as it's known, but I don't know how long that would take to "hit" here. Tho, they've been REALLY GREAT AND FAST on posting the new clues.

Sorry... Hope that helps.

Bri:

I think it is. Clue Master flew outta here so fast my typing ran together (see back about 12:00-1:00 a.m.) when I mentioned most clues were double. I don'wanna dig alone (female), so I've nobody to dig with, so... it's like i'm getting vicarious pleasure directing others... but TRUST ME!!! Next year will be different!!!

If you guys - Cheryl, while you play the stereo loud to get Hubs up - would read from about 10:00 p.m. on... I think you'll understand lots better.

fool, then there must be 2 meds...one for you and one for me LOL

I can slog my way thru the reasoning if you want, but it will loose so much as I've read so much that I'll forget some of it. If Pat's still here, maybe he could help.

But it's Cherokee. In the vicinity of the of the double division. All they have left to do is tell us xactly *where* in the vicinity.

That's why I'm asking if there's any "two" of anythings in that area... the area of the sledding/ball field area. Two porta-potties? A building with the number 2 on it??? Two trees???? Two picnic tables???? Two pumps??? Two roads??? Too late???? (LOL!!)

Reading last year's clues... Clue number #2... "You're cure for displeasure..."

While it was not mentioned in what Greg Sax said in his reasoning for #2, last year... but "cure" is the beginning of Curad - the box the Med was found in last year.

This year - double. Last year #2, "Cure"... This year - double. This year "aid." Curad-Bandaid.

Now, at this late hour, maybe I'm going too deep. However, it feels more like being rite on top of somehting... and feels so good. Shheshh!!! I wanna dig!!!!

Hey Green do you have a vehicle? If so I'd be willing to dig with you

My partners in the hunt (Men) had the car and they were to tired and cold to do any hunting tonight. So we drove out to both Cher and Mounds and sat there in the car. and counted people. They both said that they didn't get any vibes so why get out? MEN why bother!!!

There are 2 pavilions and 2 pull-outs in cherokee (also 2 tennis courts within the fence)- You can also see both St. Paul and Mpls skylines from the park. (Thought couple days ago that mother lode could be the coal at nsp)

But thanks. Go. Dig. Just remember me, wave to me on t.v., when you find the Med!!!!!

Hummmm.... very interesting discussions.

I'll have to give all this a good think or 2.

Cheryl: Still here??? God bless AOL, may they rot in h*ll. You're on too long... Then you're gone.

Is the coal near/close/RITE by the Annapolis corner??? And, too (god, how I'm getting to hate that word!!!)... are there any porta-potties by these places... "If you don't know where to go..." V-E-R-Y long stretch at 3:30 in the morning... but... well. So what?

east side phil-- Just got back from cherokee, but no luck!!!!!

about 10 people there or so. Cheryl i saw your pals in car half asleep

All the major places were dug up (playground,swings, tennis courts,

around all the trees, etc. etc.) Two guys digging up by annapolis if

that is the double devision, but that is where st. paul ends and

mendota heights begins.

LOL!!!! I pulled a "Joe Medallion" never ever meaning to!!!! I was #1900. The little pain would be proud of me!!! Too funny!!!

Me Dal Leon Hunter

Green, you owe me a thank or 2; if I wouldn't have sent my useless message at #1899, you would have never been #1900 ("Joe Medallion?").

You're welcome.

greensIvs2

But those two (I'm REALLY getting to loathe that number!) left here too soon. Rite spot... but they need to be looking for another double in that area... Two trees, two potties, two doors, two lights??? Never thought of that one before! Two signs? Two Hour Parking????

Oh, GOD. Is that it??? I read they plant (bury) the Med around signs and stuff.

Just my thoughts. I wish I was at Cherokee. (sigh)

Kudos to you, MDL Hunter... I think. Not too proud being in the ilk of our Joe. ISH!!!

2 potties? (I won't even ask)
