Hi Frosti --how do you get Como out of that clue?

Just being a smarty pants.  Go back to your regularly scheduled noodling.

<hangs head in shame>

Certainly sounds like the last section of clue 5 refers to James J. Hill.... Unless my history is way off... How that connects to a park though...?

I think you can see the JJ Hill house from boyd park.

I think there is one or two parks by the James J. Hill house.

maybe not....just says it's near-by

Is that a park with the 1st Minnesota Civil War Monument in the center.

Or what about the old street car tunnel near there.

I don't think so, it has a statue of Frank Boyd though.

JJ Hill helped acquire the land that is now cherokee Park :)

Cherokee seemed to go with the cave idea too (nooo, don't go in the caves, just the park, don't be stupid)

Your on the wrong side of the river;)

;p

THG...says ..(wow long time since I typed THG)

beginning in 1903 with the help of J.J.Hill, the land of Cherokee was gradually acquired until the park took its current form in 1924.

 

but to further confuse me....

Irvine park is near the JJ hill house and also near Forepaughs Restaurant...which is also said to be haunted.

Goodevening-I am dissappointed-I expected to get in the forum and see a big conversation -I thought I was late :( -no one is even here

Calling all Angels:

I drove by Mounds on the way home and noticed a chaple across the street from the play ground.

Hi ESD-

I couldnt hang out on line tonight because my aunt unexpectedly stopped over to say hello-and we just had guys over representing some company from Germany in replacement windows for our bow window in the livingroom-anyone have any luck with any of their windows or any other company lately?

and Nip/Tuck was on ;)

JOE!!!I thought I had a joe:(

 

no but I DO!

3 in-a-row-palina-triple upsidedown E-backward-triple-JOE!

so this guy for the windows at our house gives me his business card---his name is JOE SMITH! I asked him if that was his real name. Like a secret identity or something.

gateway - park gates like at CP, IM, Phalen, HF etc?

I'm just glad it isn't a reference to Como's wedding gate.  Sheesh!

Maybe a one-way street with a do-not-enter sign on the other street?

something cool I ran accross....

at least I ran into Mucluck at the park tonight!!!

hmmm its weird...I've seen more people at the park tonight then I did during the "ma press" hunt......

maybe the news is out...me2's got a hunt.

I'm still not convinced of the park..a few look good

 

could the trains in clue five be street cars?  that old tunnel in the park by the Hill house?

Me2...good job, the clues are great

 

I am so glad Kitch got me on board for this hunt, but it is really strange hunting in shorts!

 

 

Where were you guys hunting? I plan on going out for a lil bit sometime this week after I get off of work. I'd like to meet up with some of y'all :) Hey Me2... we should meet up for lunch sometime this week!!! I go to lunch at noon and I have an hour lunch, so let me know whatcha think!! ;)

I realize im like 50 posts late with this, but....Im pretty sure this newest one is talkin aboot (haha... i said ABOOT, look at me, im canadian) J.J. Hill, too..... and im guessing even further that the "Do not travel to the wrong side" thing, is talkin about the river...... although... be it, that if it is referenceing Hill.... maybe its saying that we shouldnt travel the wrong side of the
tracks
??

But anyhoot...... where can you see the J.J. Hill mansion from?  Harriet? Cherokee? its a stretch, but Mounds?  Lillydale? I know you can see the cathedral from spots in most, if not all of them... and the mansion is right up by there....    anyone know?

I just re-read the clues..........   like 2 summers ago, me and my dad and my sister took a tour of the Hill mansion...... it was on one of the weekends that they actually opened up the attic portion of the house (its only opened for viewing, like 2 or 3 weekends of the year)... I seem to remember them saying something about when the family lived in the house, that the attic was the kids play-room, and that from time to time your able to hear their ghosts or somethin, laughing and playing in the attic?....... 

another thought..... maybe its something that you can see
from
the mansion?

damn.... im putting alotta thought into this one for a change...

wheres J.J. Hill Buried at?

Oxen Schist ! I gotta get caught up. There's a hunt ?? !!

I go to lunch at noon and I have an hour lunch, so let me know whatcha think!! ;)

sounds like a bribe to me......
 :)

he's now in resurection cem. in mendota heights....I'm less then 30 feet from the edge of this cemetary as I work every day.

guess where i called to find out...

me2 would be soo proud of me.

I can't wait till I am done with school this sucks not being able to go out and hunt;(

Things found while out hunting Ghosts:

• diaper (yes I opened it) 




• urine specimen container (big yuck)




• 3 condom wrappers




• whiskey bottle

but no Ghosts :(

DOES NOT
suprise me on the condom wrappers or the whiskey bottle after what we saw last nite.

the number of people in this park at nite is just unreal!!!

 

::peek aBOO!::

You scareded me :(

sadly I haven't gone out to look yet. Still haven't settled on a park, and inside with the air conditioning on is a much better spot to noodle.

I haven't had time to follow along much with working OT and all but have a thought about the last clue.

For not this pioneer man, but his legacy
Built an empire,

JJ Hill

 Rail Road Empire? How about Railroad Island? All aboard fits a RailRoad...

clues, need more clues...

Me2 :)

Anagram "rest in peace" and you get-A ERECT PENIS

:O

hmmm.....I'm sure a bunch of those are at crosby!

crosby!
at night no thanks

Since I started geocaching, I've definately learned what parks to stay out of at certain times of the day (or night)

he's now in resurrection cem. in mendota heights

I used to live across the street from there. It's actually very nice to drive through during the fall foliage.  Very serene.  Not scary at all.

Unless you see me driving through with my Creepy Guy mask on that is.

Anagram "rest in peace" and you get-A ERECT PENIS

Well that definitely goes right along with all the empty condom wrappers ya'll are finding. LOL

Only 10 more minutes till the next clue.

its about 2 mins....

Me2...good job, the clues are great

 

I am driving Icesis2 crazy-she has helped with the clues as well.

I was tryng to type fast and the computer is screwy!!!! RRRRRRRRr sorry Kitch-you really read into stuff! Just like me! hahahaha
